My Latest Short Film

When you’re writing a script, you can be as detailed or general as you want. You can write out a complete fight sequence that involved phrases like, “His fist pulverizes the bad guy’s nose…” and “She twists his arm behind his back, spins him around and — shoves him through the glass window.”

You know the classic kid song, The Farmer in the Dell?
The farmer in the dell
The farmer in the dell
Hi-ho,The derry-o
