BEAT SHEET DONE

I've finished a longish beat sheet for Unseen, the feature version for the Telefilm Screenwriting Assistance Program. Not sure how I feel about it. I think I prefer the series idea, because it's a world I'd like to delve into endlessly, assuming there's some kind of budget for it and we're not just talking about fur pasted onto papier-mache. I think it's a good little feature but somehow it doesn't quite have the magic or the mystery I want. I wonder what's missing. Have I followed the path of least resistance somehow? It's hard to tell when you're writing a fairy story whether you're writing mythically or predictably.

I can't release a beat sheet for something I haven't sold yet. But I can show you a beat sheet for something that's been produced, if you like.
