How do you tell the kids the world will end, life is a circle? Put on this movie and be ready to have a talk afterwards. Kids movies from my childhood went dark and hard so have tissues ready if you watch movies that make you feel.

The 12 episodes of the Booth Monkeys Readthrough was told in 2 parts. I open each episode with a look at my life as I survive in this country and dream about making this as my side hustle. Then I read the script and offer my commentary on the story and where it comes from. In this last episode the story is wrapped up for real this time. Plus we imagine what working on Booth Monkeys will look like full time.

In this episode I add to some scenes and provide an ending with some closure. And go back to some scenes I wanted to add to after reading them again. I also decided to adjust my original ending as I realized my last writings session left the final parts in construction.

Here at the end we are only at the beginning. With the screenplay is written ,now begins the pre production. Thank you to any who help turn this dream into reality. Sky is the limit. Now is the time. More details to be released soon.

Here, near the end of the story, we begin to wrap things up. The Story in the Story is coming to an end. Mary is finally, nearly asleep, and Dre is ready to go where dreams are meant to be had, in bed. I literally planned to end the story here but couldn't. I still have much more to say and honestly this is my version of the Wayne's World style of multi endings but done subtly and with meaning. Meanwhile, the director continues to live his dream awake as he wanders through the forest looking for Metaphors. I find clear thoughts while walking I hope you are enjoying this read through of the screenplay.

Real life mimics fiction. While the Wife and I are on a road trip selling off our skills, These scenes follow in the script where Dre and Ryan go on a road tripl to find their long-lost mentor. We're wrapping up the second act and barreling forward to the twisted 3rd act ending. Where the story we have been building comes to its conclusion. Will the guys save the film booth, and will the Mary, the child / audience surrogate, fall asleep before Dre runs out of story to tell? All this and more in this episode of The Booth Monkeys Screenplay read through.

Seven is an important number, a powerful number, some say a lucky number. Throwing free throws I average 7/10, or more accurately, I am a lifetime 69% Shooter... 9/10 of using a needle/syringe combo to take your pets blood; that 1? were not worried about that one little guy (Guess the reference). This is a very busy time of the year for me, so to stay on schedule, I needed to find places to do work while in the field. So I am in a remote location sharing stories and adding to the Story withing the Story happening around the screenplay reading. Code named Paws & Dawgs, This recording looks at the Directors personal journey that leads to the deeper meaning of this story. Hopefully that life currency shines bright through the screenplay.

Maybe my back hurts from carrying all this extra belly weight... Maybe my back hurts from one to many jump shots and hip pumps to complete the day. ...Always remember to take time to stop and smell the flowers. Ep 6 more focus on the characters and story...

"...let us become intimate with poverty, so that Fortune may not catch us off guard. We shall be rich with all the more comfort, if we learn how far poverty is from being a burden..." Seneca, Moral Letters to Lucilius. In this episode we are going deeper into the weeds of the story and really establishing character desires and weaknesses. Also I'm getting personal about the subtle meaning of the story. Realizing I need to build on Ryan and Jenny and also show add even more comic shenanigans from my life and imagination. Never forget this is all part of a bedtime story. Thank you for watching.

Something Something Hobgoblin and away we go. Is it really the end of the booth monkeys in episode three, of course not. NSFW warning as the content gets real. In this section we finally introduce the low key hero of the story. The mother of the daughter promised from the first episode. There are jokes and shenanigans and life happens all around it. Hope you enjoy.

They say, "Living begins at 40, everything up until then is practice." In this episode we add the the characters and their conflicts are introduced. The story is still basically a father telling a bed time story to his daughter. That story includes his favorite job, when he met her mother, and when he chose to help others earlier than I did.
