> Anyway, here it is. Feedback welcome.
I'm 10 pages in, it's engaging and taps into the whole 'GME is Occupy Wall Street 2.0' narrative that was widespread in late 2020-2021. It reads a lot like 'How to Sell Drugs Fast' to me.
I think we really should have a monthly screen-writer post on HN, throughout the years here I've read a few things that seemed like it had potential if it were fleshed out but usually fell on deaf ears. I have a few pilots and screen plays I go back to when I have down time.
Who knows maybe a FAANG worker has an in at Netflix?
Edit: Just finished it, the last act seems really rushed, like it was meant to meet a page threshold more than finding the protagonist's resolution.
The overall arch was solid, with typical banter and some inside jokes that could still be relatable to the uninitiated.
