Jesus is a Pill Addiction - Feature - Comedy - 73 Pages

FEEDBACK

Title: Jesus is a Pill Addiction

Format: Feature

Page Length: 72 pages

Draft Status: First Draft

Genres: Comedy - Satire

Logline: A hitman reads the bible for the first time and learns that killing is wrong, right as he gets caught red-handed by his target at a Christmas party. He then has to find a Jesus-approved way to get out of the situation without killing anyone.

Notes: This is a first draft, and I basically want to know if any of it's working for you guys. The whole movie takes place in one room with five speaking roles. I wrote the movie first as a one-act play, which I think worked well, but want to convert it to a very shootable, very affordable film.

One note that I am aware of and I agree needs to be implimeted it that the characters don't have distinct enough voices. I'm going to fix that, but I want to see what about the story and plot needs to change before I jump in and do that, since the movie is 90% dialogue, and doing that will basically be a full rewrite in itself.

What would be most helpful to me right now would be to hear when you feel it drags, where you check out, and what moments/jokes you enjoyed (if any).

Thank you
