An elite rescue team ventures to a remote game preserve after receiving a cryptic emergency transmission. The straightforward rescue mission soon becomes the ultimate safari when the squad learns that the preserve specializes in designer game monsters customized to the hunter’s specifications.

And after all these months of rejections, Darren and company flip for this one, certain they can sell it on concept alone. “It’s like Jurassic Park, but with customized monsters!” They want to call it “Monster Safari.” They say it’s the sort of spec that sells for seven figures.

This is where we are when Matt gets laid off. After all these months of being in a stalemate, Matt and Geordie have finally begun writing a script again. And though “A Blueprint for Successful Living” took them years to write, they figure they can write “Monster Safari,” a seemingly much simpler story, in a few months. Perhaps they’ll even finish it by the end of summer.

In the meantime, we move into the smaller apartment. I report to the film festival daily while Matt files for unemployment, writes, and sends out his résumé. We eat a lot of pasta, Stouffer’s French bread pizza, and Zatarain’s jambalaya. (If we made a movie about those three months, it would be called Our Simple High-Sodium Summer. And it would have a disappointing opening weekend.)

By mid-August, the monster script is not going as quickly as he and Geordie had hoped; Matt has not found a job, and tension in our one-bedroom apartment is pretty high. So much so that I’m actually relieved to be able to escape to Wilmington, where I’ve arranged to move out of the suburbs and into “historic downtown” with a new roommate, Alison. The little house we’re to share comes complete with a placard on the front porch officially marking it as historic, central air-conditioning, and a koi pond. What more could I possibly want?
