Script to Screen: Next Door Films’ “Almost Real”

In honor of the continued roll-out for the 4-part Next Door Films feature “Almost Real”, we want to kick off a new series here on the blog!  It may come as a surprise, but almost everything we produce here on ASGmax has a script.  The seed of a concept that rolls out over 3 to 5 pages of text and instruction and intention.  We thought it might be fun to share the raw scripts with you to read through and compare to the final product.   How are the writer’s intentions executed within the reality of a shoot day?  Which lines change?  Which locations are moved, which scenes are scrapped, which moments become more than the writing would imply?

To kick this off, we’re going to share scripts for part 1 and 2 of Almost Real.  If people find it fun, we’ll share part 3 and 4 in the weeks to come.   Beyond that, we’d love to know if you’d like to look back at older scenes and share the scripts for those?  Anything you’d love to see how the planning might have differed from the execution?  This new Script To Screen series is that chance!

Let us know in the comments what you think!
