Hey Richard, Good to see something up from you again. I'm sure I've missed a couple. I always remembered you had a thing for social commentary with your scripts. Seems to be another one here, thought it doesn't quite work for me. I think I get what you're going for, but it just seems to get convoluted with the numerous labels they're throwing around and, after a while, I really kinda fell out of the read. I wouldn't even presume to know what you mean with this. Steve

Hi Richard, Like Steve I fell out of the read when they were throwing names around. Just wondering why these guys were doing this? Were they motivated by money somehow?

Doesn’t work for me. I get the idea with the ending but it’s so ridiculous and OTT that I don’t think people would laugh, if filmed. If you scale it back and make it more believable it should work.

I like this. I read this as a satirical piece about white men dominating business using loopholes in ridiculous red tape to maintain their control. I would add more visuals into this, so we have something to see rather than just hear. Having a chart we can see with the categories rather than one of them using a laptop checklist - for example

Seems a bit racist and prejudice to me. Ehhh script wasn't bad, just probably offensive to some.
