This is a very high quality start to your screenplay - and I love the homage you're paying to The Godfather! At the moment, it's not clear what the relevance of the young boy is to the story, but I'm guessing that will be made clear in the finished screenplay.
ReplyDeleteI will update the screenplay with the next scene which explains his relevance to the story. Hopefully it makes it clear on what he will do in the next scene.
