FEATURE SCREENPLAY

POP POP

POP POP “works because it never tries to over-complicate itself. It is a simple story told well. The twists and turns are logical, which drives tension. Set pieces are steeped in time and weight, which makes them more engaging, and nothing is rushed. The writer's voice and talent has notes of Tony Gilroy and Tony Scott, putting characters first and having them drive the plot.”

“In a robust spec script market, this could be a chased project. There's no question this is in a great place, and if the writer isn't repped, it is only a matter of time. The writer's voice and talent are never in doubt, and this is a strong script that could open doors to meeting independent producers and development executives.”
