Hey peoples, here is an excerpt from the script of a Question trailer I hope to film soon. Please critique mercilessly; I need feedback from other fans. I'm my own toughest critic, and I'll just keep rewriting it untill I die. So, I'll leave it to you! Keep in mind, this isn't the whole thing. Also, camera shots and angles aren't explained for I am not sure of my locations, so use your imagintation.
