Script 2 - Joseph's 2nd Draft11/30/11Creative Notes:Updated the script to reflect changes made during test film production.
Also reworked Eva's character some to more clearly define her and make her a stronger force in the story. Given time constraints and costs ($30,000 invested so far) doubtful the test film will be updated to reflect this rewrite.
