Blood Meridian: The Disney Musical
Finished rewriting act 1 of my low budget innawoods script. Cut 2 pages out, merged a couple scenes, added more character emotional stuff... Actually swapped the main protagonist to one of the other characters. Cleaned up a lot of the overwritten shit too (though always more work to do there). ChatGPT said it was a definite improvement.I'm still a bit iffy on writing "unfilmable" stuff. Like, I have a line:"Richard side eyes Bill and his judgemental tone."Idk if that's too much.
