Touching Blue is a beautiful script, and would certainly make a great movie, or be the basis for an excellent TV series. Scott has done a beautiful job of taking a high concept, sci-fi oriented premise, and infusing it with deep emotion and character, which is what elevates this from a simple genre piece. It's the richness of Blue's multi-dimensional character, and her compelling struggle to come to terms with her gift/curse, that makes this a must read, and hopefully a must see!

Marco Polo: The Gateway To Heaven is a fantastically executed and fun script that is ripe for a big summer tentpole franchise. A rollicking adventure with all the elements and scope of a studio adventure film, as well as a fascinating historical component. I found it totally compelling, entertaining, and satisfying.
