Matt
- Small mix tweak on “Dream City”
- I think we got it
Hatchford Hotel
- I didn’t think there was any other sizeable rewrites. I was wrong.
- I took Nate V’s advice on economy of locations to heart and jotted down notes on how we could remove all of the bedroom scenes by moving them to the lobby.
- Then other dominoes fell as a result and I ended up with two full pages of notes about possible tweaks.
- Possibly remove some car scenes as well.
