A Ghetto Punk Romance by L G Morgan Draft 1
Draft One Producers Development Notes for the author
1. We liked this script, thought it was fast paced and fun.
2. You might want to consider changing the names, Jack and Jill, although we never hear their names said, comes across like you have plucked them from the air. Flesh these characters
out a little in the scene description, they are strong individual characters so set them up as such.
3. You do misdirect the audience well, we don't expect a robbery but is there something else that you can plant in the script that begins to add up when we see then end?
Have your say, what do you think?

Love the dialogue. Can see the pair swiftly manouevering their way through London streets, chatting away without a care, casually putting on their robbing attire. Think the tagline should be less revealing though. Perhaps something more in line with the unusual first date?

I like the idea of a highly cynical of love character and especially that its a woman. And she's not cynical because she's got a broken heart, she's just above such foolish things as love.
I'd have them already wearing the hats so that when they pull them down its more of a reveal. By having them put the hats on, you've already telegraphed what's likely to happen next. Maybe have the guns come out as the hats roll down.
Also I'd have them robbing a more traditional first date place so when Jack says "If you think this
is an appropriate first date...then
you’re insane.", the audience wonder what he's on about? Surely a busy valentine restaurant is the perfect first date. By making it a packed out restaurant you can keep the cinema line in, which adds another layer to that line.
I realise finding and filming a busy restaurant may be tough to find a location for but a bank looking building could be too.
And maybe rather than the final "Fuck Off", just have Jill cocking her pistol with a look of disdain? Good script though. -

This is more of a question for the people in charge, but we were told to "watch out for logos and props with brands."
What about the logo and name for the bank? If we're filming at an actual bank we'd have to show the sign to establish that it's a bank. Even with a release from the location, isn't there still an issue if it's a national corporation?

Could you advice as to how to solve the issue with using a real bank as a location in terms of rights? Thanks and best Eliza
