I've made a huge mistake

I like each of my movies to be different. Whether in structure or content, actors or scripting. It’s not that I think I’ve mastered the previous form, I just like to change things up. But this time, I’ve made a huge mistake.

The movie parodies various television shows. The three main shows are How I Met Your Mother, The Office and Arrested Development. I chose these shows quite intentionally. Mostly I chose them because they have distinct styles and colorful characters that I’d be able to successfully reproduce. I also chose them because they’re shows I generally respect; why would I spend a month reproducing Two Guys and Girl and a Pizza Place. But I didn’t really take into account that Barney Stinson, Michael Scott and Tobias Funke don’t mix well with conservative religious audiences.

Oh well. I’m leaving in a couple months anyway.

If you’d like to critique the script (especially if you’re familiar with the above shows) let me know and I’d be grateful for your aid.

I'd love to get a peek at the script. It sounds fun. Email me paulinmex@gmail.com
