I think French Kissing is up to 12 ish total rewrites. It's wild to see the things that have survived each demolition and rebuild, not always what I would have expected, now those images or scenes are so strong because they've been around the longest, they hold the script up. Survival of the fittest scene.

Oh I love this! It really does become a script made up only of the stuff that “stood the test of time.”

Thanks for sharing the process, Colby. I agree: We need to normalize people giving a shit and making things better...

Really interesting to hear your insights. I've just started this year to write scripts and reading your normalizing a long rewrite process is helpful to see.
