@Merlange: @jkamalou what was the casting process? requested specific actors to audition/open casting call? #scriptchat
February 19, 2012, 8:10 pm

@alli_and_that: @jkamalou How did you find the transition from writer to director when you switched hats? #scriptchat
February 19, 2012, 8:12 pm           



 
@TaroJ: @jkamalou did you limit location and cast because you knew you wanted to make it yourself, and this would suit an Indie film? #scriptchat
February 19, 2012, 8:12 pm

@teenierussell: @jkamalou Were you still re-writing throughout production or was the final version completely locked before filming commenced? #scriptchat

@jkamalou: The HITCHER was an inspiration. No doubt about that. #scriptchat

February 19, 2012, 8:15 pm           



 
@TaroJ: @jkamalou so with so many hats I guess a good 1stAD is pretty vital #scriptchat
February 19, 2012, 8:16 pm           



 
@jkamalou: A script keeps "moving". From writing, to preproduction, production, postproduction. A script is a roadmap, rarely a bible. #scriptchat
February 19, 2012, 8:17 pm           



 
@TaroJ: @jkamalou wow, did the script change much when you brought it back to the UK? #scriptchat

@jkamalou: To quote Rumsfeld: Many unknowns before production so one needs to be flexible. But NEVER lose track of the central story. #scriptchat

@lindahf1: RT @jkamalou: Casting was quick. Never thought of Danny Dyer. He was suggested by casting director Jeremy Zimmerman. We met, fell in love! #scriptchat
February 19, 2012, 8:18 pm           



 
@Merlange: @jkamalou what inspired you to write Deviation? News story? Ex-girlfriend? Imagination? #scriptchat
February 19, 2012, 8:19 pm           



 
@jkamalou: Chained: To be honest, I cannot remember how many drafts. I rewrite CONSTANTLY. #scriptchat

@LucyrCarpenterx: Love the hashtag #scriptchat
February 19, 2012, 8:19 pm           



 
@jkamalou: Inspiration was news. PLUS I wanted a real CHALLENGE. Could I write a two-hander set in a car, over one night. #scriptchat
