Some emails people have sent in:


Dear Frank,
Wow, that was neat! Thanks so much for making that happen. You create a
terrific platform for notes, and the people who attend are smart, smart, smart.
And by the way, the way you summarized the notes at the end of the evening was
completely brilliant and your own thoughts were hot.

As obvious as it may seem, I never thought of doing a joke pass on the script. I'm going to try it after I input the other notes, and then run it by a few of my joke writing friends. And if it needs more, I'm going to see a psychic and channel Bob Hope, Jack Benny and George Burns. Thanks, great idea!

A lot of people did turn out, even on very short notice.
FYI, Rebecca counted and there were 55 people and 14 cast members in the room last night!

Yours Truly,
Roni Keller


Dear Frank:

As I remarked last Friday, I've changed the name of the film, per your suggestions, to "Breach of Honor." I've also deepened things emotionally for the main character, Tom (giving him a son - making his emotional drive during the film to find family), and added jeopardy for Tom during ACT II (a couple of physical attacks on him). I've also developed another layer of intrigue - the testing is not only from the Gulf War but is going on right here. At the end of Act II, helicopters fly over Los Angeles spraying bio-chemicals on an unsuspecting public. During Act II, Tom breaks into a secret room at the VA and takes photos which later leads to revelation of this during Act 3.

I could never have come up with all these added layers without the generous comments and critiques from my reading with the Filmmaker's Alliance.

Best regards,
Christine Davis
