"INT. ENTRY WAY - DAY
Shelly carefully opens the door a few inches. Thompson and
Mood look in from the front porch.
THOMPSON
Is this the Prince residence?
SHELLY
Yea.
THOMPSON
Is your grandaddy home?
SHELLY
Maybe.
Thompson eyes her up.
THOMPSON
Were you expecting me?
Shelly doesn't answer.
MOOD
(under his breath)
This is a waste of time.
THOMPSON
1
May we come in?
Shelly opens the door and the two enter. Thompson takes in
his surroundings. Mood hangs back by the door, rotating a
rubix cube.
THOMPSON
You may have heard rumor 'bout the
missing cats around town.
SHELLY
I'm allergic to cats.
THOMPSON
Other things too. Garbage cans gone
through. Laundry missing from the
line. Piles a feces in backyards.
SHELLY
What exactly are you asking me?
THOMPSON
You may not know this, but in 1979
your Grandaddy claimed he discovered
of a mysterious creature. Lost his
job at the university for it. Called
'em crazy.
SHELLY
The Whistler.
MOOD
Course she knows, Thompson. The
myth's been in town for years.
Everybody knows.
SHELLY
I'm sorry Officers, but I'm in a bit
of a hurry.
THOMPSON
I was hoping you might offer a
drink.
EXT. STREET - DAY
RYAN FRANCIS (13) pedals hard on his bike, swerving on the
street. He wears little cape pinned to his shirt. He adds
animated sound effects to his biking.
Ryan skids to a stop outside Shelly's house where a police
car is parked. He looks curiously toward the house.
INT. KITCHEN - DAY
2
Shelly opens the fridge. She takes out the half gallon of
milk. Thompson sits at the kitchen table, a glass in front
of him.
THOMPSON
I seen my share of mysterious
things. Kids disappearing, back
porches busted in, excreta, excreta.
I am the man you call when this
kinda thing happens. It's how I got
my nickname.
She pours the sour milk.
THOMPSON (CONT'D)
I'll tell ya, nothing's more
appreciated than catchin' a
monster... When.
Shelly stops pouring.
THOMPSON (CONT'D)
From what I hear, your Grandaddy's
Whistler is quite the pelt. Just so
happens I gotta bedroom in need of a
new rug.
Thompson drinks the entire glass of milk in one go. He
places a photograph on the table. It shows a gruesome image
of a giant alligator hung upside down and sliced down the
belly, Deputy Thompson standing by its side.
THOMPSON (CONT'D)
Let your Whistler pal know what's
comin'.
Thompson stands, points to the picture and winks. The door
slams behind them.
" .........This is a side i just recently recieved i'm from boston mass .There is not a whole lot of work out here to begin with .The majority of it is student films or indie films i decided to go.For myself i look at it like a gained experience.I don't even care about getting the role even if it was offered .I'm just using the audition to get better at auditioning. I always try and look at ways a situation could benefit me.Whether good or bad it helps.

I just got a script and it needs a lot of grammar help. I generally see it, when the director or writer's first language isn't english.

I know this is an old thread, but I'll chime in with a "me too." I don't even submit my kid on projects where the character breakdown is badly written. If I do submit her on something and the sides turn out to be crap, I get her out of it. Time is precious.

I have backed out of auditioning for a student film after seeing the student's OTHER work he provided when he sent out the audition dates. It looked and sounded like they shot it with a cellphone and the scripts were horrible.

I like when student films list what equipment they are using in the breakdown. At least you now that the project would yield TECHNICALLY quality footage.
