Hey Kodjo, it was great meeting you and talking British television. I hope that good things continue to happen with the script. The story sounds fantastic!

As a side note, I thought you would find it interesting that Being Human has been bought to be remade for the US cable channel Syfy. We will still get the original on BBCA but if the revamp (wow that’s a bad pun) gets picked up I guess we will have both. Crazy!

The Wachowski brothers did lots of research on Meta Physics
before they wrote THE MATRIX.

Admire screenwriters, like Kodjo, who dare to grab their script by the horn
and give us something fresh and unique and entertainting and thought provoking.

You know, a page turner.

Best,

Hope to see Kodjo’s Metaphysical thriller on screen.
Hey’s he’s also a bright and upcoming film director – he will make this happen. I believe it.

I’m just floored because I always thought I was the only one who described their work as a “metaphysical thriller”… Cool!

Thanks Kodjo Akeseh Tsakpo, for giving us a glimpse in your busy schedule…
And hope you come back.
Really enjoyed watching your short films on your webpage.
And I’m really glad to see screenwriters like yourself taking risk and
writing complex screenplays. I love complicated/complex screenplays.
And thanks Julie for your support and promoting screenwriters who dare to
write from the heart and brain and gut instinct…
Bravo!
Kodjo, you sound like one day you might be directing Shift.
Afterall you are a talented writer/director combo.
Keep the good work and vision.
Cheers!
