Sever didn’t make the cut
Published by on June 14th, 2006
Well finally, a month and a half after they said they would announce, Golconda Films dropped me a brief email to say that my screenplay, Sever, didn’t make the short list.
Rejection is the way of the writer. Can’t say I am particularly surprised, but it would have felt great to at least get shortlisted. Now I’m intrigued about what did get through.
The odd thing about writing a screenplay, even one for a specific purpose such as this, is it never feels like a waste of time. The pure creative surge of constructing something from nothing, creating people, situations, stories far outweighs the sometimes tortuous process of hammering 100 pages of limb wrenching mayhem. For now, Sever will take to a shelf and be someday rewritten to second draft - when the time feels right.
