Buh-leted!!!
So, yesterday, I had my repitch, after applying the various notes from my director and such…all went well, and I got some pointers on how to strengthen the story even more…The one misfortune is that many scenes had to be cut, because the show ran long. I sat down with my fabulous director, and pulled out scenes. One of the most difficult aspects of creation, is knowing when to let go of something you love, for the greater good of the whole. In this case, there were a couple gags, that both Jun and I loved so much, but they just did not fit into the edited version. We tried and tried to salvage them, but realized that we had to stay focused on the whole story, not just the one joke. Maybe they will show up on the directors cut!!
Here, for your viewing pleasure is a scene where Yaki is so hungry, and desperate to eat, he begins fanning the fumes from the popcorn into his mouth!!

Delteeted. DelTaco?
The creative freedom of doing pretty much whatever we want for 7 minutes– but ONLY seven minutes. Fate is a fickle mistress… or something.

If you think you’re completely free, you may not be trying hard enough.
If they’re not kicking something back to you, there’s probably something very wrong.

Hmmm…I don’t understand what you mean? I would love for this to make sense..want to explain?

Back when I was a starry-eyed stage manager in NYC, a grizzled old showman gave me the secret: when it ain’t workin’ amateurs add, and pros cut. Welcome to the bigs. All that’s left is to learn to enjoy slitting the throats of your children….

Well said Scott. Now pass me that steak knife.

And your point is???
Is there a metaphore here that we are all missing perhaps? Clue us in!

Metaphores are best left open to the individual’s interpretation.
Some people can read “War and Peace” and dismiss it as an adventure story. For others the meaning of existance can be deduced from a chewing gum wrapper.
