It’s the lit­tle things that make you happy. Like a girl­friend wak­ing you up one Sat­ur­day morn­ing ago to show you the USB stick she found buried deep in a pile of junk under the stairs.

Now that I’ve got it back I thought I’d show you my effort from this year’s Script Frenzy. I’d orig­i­nally set out to write three sep­a­rate sto­ries totally 100 pages, but only ended up get­ting one out. An episode of Heroes set in an alter­na­tive sea­son three.

About halfway through I started get­ting a bit wor­ried about how I was por­tray­ing some of the char­ac­ters. After see­ing how badly they’re all being por­trayed in the real sea­son three I’m happy I at least man­aged to keep them consistent.

Had I read a few scripts before hand I would’ve seen that most scripts are bulked up with large blocks of notes from the writer(s) to who­ever is direct­ing the piece of dis­trac­tion. Every­thing from what colour a car should be to the num­ber of clouds in the sky. My script doesn’t have a lot of that, so comes off a bit anorexic. Les­son learned for next year I guess.

Have a read of the script and tell me what you think. Any com­ments and/or crit­i­cisms are wel­come (but keep it con­struc­tive, please).

Heroes — “Fifty”
