on february 3 2010 i began writing a script for a movie. the movie would be about a man living as a working man on a ship at sea that was trying to transport liquor/food and other goods to australia from london. in the script i described in great detail the accents, gestures, mannerisms and all around traits of the main characters as well as supporting characters.
i would often write this script late at night/early in the am hours sometimes while watching pornography sometimes while eating whataburger.
the details of how i wrote it are not that important. what is important is that on july 5 2010 i finished a rough draft of my script and called one of my friends from pendant publishing who would proof read my script for me and could help tie up any loose ends i may have had.
all seemed well until the morning of august 2 2010 when said friend in the paragraph prior to this accused me of stealing his bank codes and swiping 2000 from his account to support my alleged drug problem.
that ended our friendship and as revenge, i began tagging out his little sister(who just turned 26 by the way, happy birthday melinda!).
anyways, so i have my script still and have been shopping it around to different low budget film makers when last week i am in conroe, texas just outside of houston at a dinner with a film maker and i show him the script and begin to toss out my visions for this film which i have created.
he begins to laugh and says, "youre kidding, right? who set you up for this? was it david? or max from the office?"
i ask him what he means and he tells me that this same script was purchased by his office 2 weeks ago and they are due to start filming in spring of 2011.
my heart sank.
and i knew i had been taken.
my ex-friend, now apparently a movie producer, had stole my idea.stole my script. and here we are now.
ideas/time/creativity gone and my heart is empty.
i do not know what to do.
