The Seanachai - Death of a Dishwasher

Summary, "Death of a Dishwasher"

Podcast Feed for "Death of a Dishwasher"

Once, I had an idea for a movie. About this restaurant. And I wrote and I wrote. And rewrote and rewrote. But no matter how hard I tried, the movie still sucked. And I tried very hard. Three major rewrites.

Years later, I finally thought I had tossed the monkey from my back — but there was this one bit about a dishwasher that I just couldn’t let go. Turned out to be a pretty entertaining short story.

  • 86 Nickels Script

    So this is an early draft of the screenplay that eventually became Death of a Dishwasher. Very clearly, I don’t know what I’m doing structuring a screenplay — but some of the scene’s really snap. And the lines are still funny. I skimmed it as I was building this post and I chuckled to myself in several places. This is good sign, because I’m pretty critical of my own work.
