Is It Good Enough?

I worked on a feature today that already has financing. The writer-director, a talented young man with a bright future said during our private session, \”This is my big break. Do you think I have a good enough script to win awards?\”

Because of his definition of \”good enough,\” I was able to be honest and say, \”Not yet,\” and explain why.

If he had asked is it good enough to please me, I would have said yes. However, there are still a few problems with his structure and character development that are keeping it from pleasing others the same way.

I am confident he and I will get it to that point.

The moral here is to define what \”good enough\” or \”great\” means to you before you ask for advice.
