It's a wonderful letter, and I agree absolutely about the power of words - but the cynical part of me can't help but wonder what the response would be if that letter was sent to any agency or producer now... :)

That's also why it's so dang important to READ scripts (along with all the novels and short stories that may come your way). Watching movies is great for listening to dialogue, but watching a movie won't put you in contact with the kind of words that made it into this guy's letter.

I like the way you put that, WTC: Script's put you in "contact" with good words. And bad ones, too. But the whole contact thing is key. Really, there is no good reason not to read scripts.
