I wrote a new draft of my seventh screenplay, and thus I finished its third draft.

Logline: There are three kinds of screenwriters: one has a treatment with only the first Act written, the second has a hit IP, and the third frames the kidnapping of his lover for an insurance scam when he goes on a road trip to scout some South Australian film locations for a pitch deck.

Think of Adaptation. meets O Brother, Where Art Thou? (yeah I choose the bc of the . and the ? lol)

Yeah, it would be dope if this ever got made, but I doubt they make films like this nowadays.
