It's important to get the feedback at this point because I like to know how people are feeling about the film, as they see it in their heads.
AND, more importantly, how they feel about being IN the film, since they won't be doing it for the money.
It's an odd story, but, hands down, everybody's favorite character is Jupiter James, a 6'2" (in heels) African-American drag queen, which will be played by my brother, Elliott Mayberry. I wrote the part specifically for Elliott... he'll be amazing. See his "head shot" below with a sketch I did of his character, Jupiter.
All the feedback got me to thinking and I've made some important changes.
I think it was Viki King (the screenwriter) that said, "don't wait to have all of your screenplay figured out before you start writing... just start, you'll realize that you have more of it "figured out" than you think".... or, something like that.
Well, the story is all coming together, and I'm moving forward.
And, thanks to all of you who have taken the time to read the pages, it has been very exciting!
