Can anyone suggest a script or film that's set in San Francisco? Besides Basic Instinct. Thank you!

My first spec since LIFE COPY is getting ready to go out soon. I'm trying to remember to breathe--

I'm looking for great chemistry romantic meet up scenes between characters not comedy- ala the Adjustment Bureau scene in the bathroom with Damon and Emily Blunt. Any suggestions?
-
Seems like there have been a spate of sales the past few days.IPO MAN, KILL THE MESSENGER, FALLING OUT OF HONOR, DARK MEADOW, HOt STUFF etc. Are these specs?

Any recs for scripts/films that have kick ass third act set pieces--preferably sci fi thriller or action. Thanks!

What do you think about an inciting incident on pg 16? Is it too late?

i agree. In my opinion, scripts of late no longer have the inciting incident so close to the act break. instead I'm seeing this happening around 10 to 12 with the call to action set up taking place and ending with the accepting of the hero to take on the journey around page 25 (act break).
again, it should be noted that many of those script clock in around 100 to 110. When reading a script that is 120 or more, I still see the inciting incident happening around 15 to 20 simply...

I think I'm using the term PRELAP wrong? I'm using it for a VO that starts before that scene begins. Is that correct?

[continuing on...] If there is pre-lap dialogue, you can indicate it with PRE-LAP or V.O. Either is acceptable."
So do with that what you will. That's John August's take on the subject. Logically, it makes sense to me (if for no other reason than what each abbreviation stands for) but honestly, I could care less what people do as long as I don't stumble over what they are writing, trying to figure out what the hell they mean.

for dialogue-- I'm trying to think of a situation where the training is worse/more grueling than the actual thing that's being trained for. Any ideas?

Getting ready to go to Austin (as a finalist.) Pretty nervous. Anyone else going?

Read a fantastic bio-script, A BOY AND HIS TIGER. Really enjoyed it! Best bio film I've read since MUPPET MAN.

Just read PADRE. Great script.

I have new spec ready to go out-- have been told mid November is the budget cutoff for a lot of prod-co's. Is mid-November a bad time to put a spec on the market?

My Nicholl finalist script, LIFE COPY is up in the forum section-- let me know what you think! Thanks fellow TB-ers.
