Hi, I'm looking for someone to review this... thing. I don't know what else to call it. It's definitely not a script, that's for sure. It's not for the faint of heart or if you are one of those sensitive types who take everything so personally (The Black List, cough, cough).

Oh, you, I see you. It's not for you. Move along now. Go get your kale smoothie latte with two Steveias or something. And the Curvy Gluten-Allergy girl back there.Ya, I see you.  You are most definitely not reading this.

Alright, let's make this fun.  Raise your hand if you're a steak lover.  Good, keep 'em up.  Now, will the 'Well-Dones' please lower your hands.  Now, the 'Mediums." . And yes, 'Medium-Rares', you too.  I know, I know, but only the brave, the ones who spit in the face of potential food poisoning, are allowed to read this thing. Nuttas who love to play E. Coli-Russian-Roulette.The risk takers. Those 'I-don't-need-no-back-up-chute' types. One Caveat, though -- If you passed the steak test but your IQ is north of 115, you are disqualified. No script-thingy for you, slightly above-average-intellect people.

This is for the truly awesome only. Like you there, helmet boy. You look pumped. You have no clue what is happening right now. Do you? You poor, poor thing.  Can... you... read? -- WOOOO! is right. Enthusiastic, aren't we? I will take that as a yes.  OK, good, helmet boy... this thing is most definitely you.  Read it and go start a fan club.  Off you go now. Remember, read first, then Fan Club.  

I'm genuinely looking for some feedback on this script and I'm more than happy to provide feedback in return. If you're interested, please let me know.

Hey Nathan,  as I said before, this is an intriguing premise. I have every intention of reading your script and posting a review.  My “day job” gets in the way of me doing things in a timely manner but I can’t wait to read your script!  

Nathan, I finished your script today and according to your rules as stated, maybe I should not have started, i.e. I like my steak medium rare and I’m not sure my IQ is at an acceptable level, especially when I got to the word “icosidodecahedron”.  So I had to Google that.  As it turns out, I should have just texted our youngest son who teaches AP Trig, Calculus and Geometry - I’m sure he could have filled me in.  Anyway, one point for new word/definition learned for the day.
Also, a disclaimer:  If you stick around here very long you will learn that I write Hallmark style romance and family drama, so I was way out of my comfort zone at the get-go.  But now to what I found in your script.  Dude! You have an incredibly VIVID  imagination!  The scene set ups here are off the charts for detail and imagination! Let me just say here, you are either a very experienced screen writer or at the very least, extremely well read on the subject.  I also found myself almost as entertained by your “side bar” comments as to music choice and the $$ of rights to those and other comments as I was by the script itself.  “Yeah, just use your sharpie over those - but this is money, man!”  LOL.   To be truthful, I was initially somewhat put off by the violence in the first couple acts and wondering where the alien link would fit into all the “drug lord” scenarios.  But then, as I continued to read, I actually became intrigued when it all started to come together.  The name “Enki” and the “Annunaki”, these were very familiar to me from my addiction to “Ancient Aliens”.  I really loved that you had them occupying human bodies over eons to further their purpose, even though things went terribly wrong.  In short, I found your script, although disturbing in places, to be very readable and I can totally see it as a pilot for a series, as is your intention. Technically, I saw a couple typos - not even worth mentioning in light of the quality of your script - those are an easy fix.

I know this is not a technical review, but I truly found very little that needs tweaking.  I will say this, if you are lucky, Michael (aka D. A. Banaszak) will give this a read.  He is a technical genius with scripts and will give you a thorough review (as in line by line nearly).

Wishing you much luck with this.  As I said above, I can totally see this as a streaming series.
You are blessed with both phenomenal imagination and screenwriting talent - this script is testament to that.

Best,

Kathy

Thank you again for reviewing the thing.  I appreciate the praise and feedback.  

Hey, if I had known your wheelhouse is Hallmark Channelesque, I would have warned you more directly... Like, "Hey, this thing is uber-violent and has crazy method-out rednecks; it is NOT ancient aliens. Giorgio A. Tsoukalos does not play any part in the show."  

Though it would be amazing to involve him somehow, I just want to touch the hair. Don't sigh; you know you do, too. You be like, "Hey Giorgio, look... over there," and I'll sneak in for a hair graze. But... it gets caught on my finger, and I accidentally pull his whole fucking toupe off.  

I hear it happens all the time to the poor man, and it's why his hair changes orientation from scene to scene. A previous theory claimed his hair was alive and sentient, but that can't be true. Can it?  Sometimes, I wonder.... .
