From Daneeta’s Journal:
Patrick back from Africa, and we’ve been working on the 2nd draft of the script. Something is missing, but I can’t, for the life of me, figure out what it is. We’ve got great characters, locations and a solid story. But, something is definitely missing.
Both of us are concerned that this will turn into another “Cowboys.” That film was five years in the making. More even if you believe like some that it’s not finished yet. You hear stories of filmmakers who write their scripts in three weeks (John Sayles). Then, there are those like Richard Linklater who spend years on one project.
What is this rush, though? Is it that I am enjoying the process too much and cannot focus on the end product? Or, is this how it is meant to be?
