Feedback from the academic friend
I received feedback from a writer/academic friend who also liked the story. He came at it from a different perspective from most film people, which was really useful. He made a number of valid points about my use of language and also questioned a pay-off that occurs at the end. I’m glad he mentioned that, because it’s crucial in terms of the story’s meaning, and I think I need to make the pay-off clearer, and set it up better as well.
