In the interest of full disclosure, I was skeptical of getting this shot. There were times when it looked like it wouldn't happen, but Team Bj is nothing if not determined. Is it perfect? Of course not. We're talking about an inexperienced writer, inexperienced actors and an inexperienced director. But we're learning, and learning fast.
I showed the footage to Mrs. Team Billy and she laughed...for real...out loud and stuff. This is a big deal. She's by far my toughest critic. I eagerly force everything I write on her in hopes of pleasing her. Her usual response is "It's not your best work." Nevermind that she's never bothered to tell me what my best work was.
What really excites me is that it's only going to get better. I freely admit the scripts for the first few episodes are weak (not bad, just not as good as the others). If Bj and the guys are making this stuff work, I can't wait to see what they do with the scripts I actually like.
