Synecdoche, first draft

It's been floating around online for ages, but I had a strong feeling that I ought to play it safe and just ignore it. But Synecdoche, New York has been in selected cinemas for a couple of weeks now, the shooting script is available to buy (via BCK, if you want to help out), and I figure that if I make the first draft of the screenplay available to download, it can only help draw more folks into the cinema to actually, y'know, WATCH THE FILM.

So here it be: Synecdoche, New York screenplay (1st draft)

(As referred to in an earlier post, the "Schenectady" title was apparently put there by whoever initially smuggled the draft out of the studio, or agency, or living room, or wherever. The real title is the same as the film.)

Enjoy!

More soon.
