Hi guys. Thanks for the motivation with your q and a, it's making a day a work go much faster! Did you generate a treatment for Family Getaway during the whole process? How important a tool do you think a treatment is for a first time writer? Thanks very much

@Deano: I'm compiling all questions to forward to Jeremiah and Nick, and will include yours.

Congratulations to you both! I was hoping you might elaborate on the process of turning Family Getaway "from a script into a movie" (as George Gatins was always talking about).

You mentioned streamlining the plot, sharpening the characters, and getting the pacing and logic right. Were there other crucial areas that you worked on to get it studio-ready? Areas that you may not have considered crucial until Mosaic pointed them out?

Looking forward to the rest of the Q&A. All the best!
