Actually, mostly a test of the new iPhone's video. But that's my dog Jake, who is 14 and paralyzed in his back legs.

how did you come up with the koala idea? and why do you make movies slightly true? it s not even that great, next time take more time editing. fine base.

I was recomended to your site by a fellow writer and it is great, I have gotten alot of good information from it!
I myself have been writing on scripts for over 5 years now and hopefully I am going to finish one finally and send it away.

Mr. August,
Do you have any advice for an aspiring screenwriter? I'm in college currently and trying to learn the craft. I've heard it'd be good to find work as a PA, but I don't really know where to begin looking. Anyway, I really enjoy your work and I can't wait for "Dark Shadows".

Regards,
Andrew

Love your collaborations with Mr. Burton! Especially the whimsical "Corpse Bride."
