My movie

It's going to be called "For the Birds" I think.

Currently it is 92 pages long (including a cover page).

Other measures: 17,837 words, 78,660 characters (average of 4.41 characters per word, so very readable), 1,592 paragraphs.

I'm going to try and finish it up this weekend and then I guess I'll start sending it around. Although I kind of don't want to because that's probably where it will end. But oh well.

If it does get made, these artists will feature on the soundtrack:

The Rapture (opening office party scene)
Ibrahim Ferrer[or]Mulatu Astatqe[or]Manu Chao (while Jane cooks dinner)
Broken Social Scene (while John cleans up after dinner, and when Jane takes Vicodin in the bathroom)
Richard Ashcroft (John plays it on guitar when Jane is high)
Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton (when John is at the hospital)
My Morning Jacket (when John is depressed around town)
Jeff Tweedy (John plays on guitar)
Kings of Leon (when John goes to the office Christmas party)
Ratatat (also at Christmas party, probably while Brad is dancing)
Beirut (when John is on the plane)
Random Spanish music and probably some Seu Jorge (Bolivia scenes)

And then probably these guys at other times and during the rest of the movie:

Ryan Adams
Gillian Welch
Kate Havlevich
Apostle of Hustle
The Album Leaf
Arcade Fire
Wilco
Feist
The Go! Team
Sigur Ros
White Flight
Jose Gonzalez
Sufjan Stevens
Joy Division and/or Prince, depending on how things work out.
