Hello All, if you are interested in joined the group but would like to read the script to see exactly what we're making you make do so, below. WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS..obviously

The Thief
By Gregory Saldanha
EXT. COUNTRY-SIDE - MORNING
JOE (squirrel) slowly pops open the lid of the drain pushing it aside as he crawls out.
The farmer's market is just ahead of him. The day is foggy and a few cars are parked along the side of the highway just past the farmer's market.
JOE scuttles across the road and the grass into the dirt area of the market. When he spots a trolley full of bright red strawberries, he licks his lips with craving.
JOE hurries down the aisle jumping into the strawberry crate.
The shadow of a man passes over him. The VENDOR is setting up his shop. JOE quickly ducks and when the VENDOR looks away he grabs a strawberries, cradles it in his arms and then rushes back down the aisle.
JOE crosses the abandoned road and rests against an old barn wall. JOE looks at the strawberry, his eye's open wide. He is about to take a bite when he hears an incoming engine sound.
JOE gets up, leaving his strawberries behind and dashes around the building to hide. The tractor slows passes by and JOE heads back to his strawberries, dusting his hands along the way.
When JOE returns the strawberries are not there. He looks around and sees a big, fat RAT with his strawberry half in her mouth waving out to him.
Extremely angry, JOE eyebrows narrow in and he clenches his fists and scowls. JOE runs after the RAT on all fours. She leads JOE across the street, up a tree on jumps onto the top of one of the market tents.
The RAT jumps onto the next one, about 4 feet away, but JOE loses his footing and slips and falls. JOE'S vision becomes black.
JOE opens his eyes. He finds his face buried in a bunch of strawberries. He must be in heaven. He smiles a big smile and takes hold of a strawberry. He closes his eyes and is about to take a bite when he feels a hand around him. JOE opens his eyes
The VENDOR removes him from the trolley of strawberries and sets him gently on the ground. JOE, who is confused is still holding the strawberry.
