While I’m not a major fan of re-drafts, I’m going to dive in and try a few this Spring. It’s an important exercise for looking at the draft landscape and finding overarching lessons that can help me improve as a scout.

Maybe dance like we don’t care who’s watching (because why should we?
Hello, reader. Jeremy here. And wouldn’t you know it, today’s newsletter is from a new guest writer! My good friend Anton is a man of many talents—writing, photography, graphic design, DJing, and the “waved” creations he chops up as part of the Dream Video Division (keep reading for a sample!), just to name a few.* But if you’re part of the Alabama film scene, you probably know him as the director of the Montgomery Film Festival, which I happily attend every year that I get the chance, and/or the president of the Capri Theatre’s Board of Directors.
