Awesome. Yes, a lot of scripts are strummy bummers. I think it takes a while to learn what a strummy bummer is, let alone how not to write one.
Thanks, Jeff!

I have some friends that play music together, singer/songwriter sort of stuff. I call their songs “strummy bummers”. They strum, they’re bummed — yawn.

A lot of mumble-core flicks are like this. Strummy bummers indeed. But hey, I can’t throw too many stones. My first film had some melodrama that was laid on fairly thick. It wasn’t all terrible, but it wasn’t entirely palatable either.

Live and learn. And write better stories!
Cheers,
Jeff
