The two writers of Poor White Trash (aka: Goodbye Sunrise), a feature that recently completed production in Illinois, created their script online and in fact had never met until the first day of shooting, Wired Magazine reported in its online edition Tuesday.?Tony Urban, a Pennsylvania writer, told Wired that he first heard from Michael Addis, a Los Angeles writer-director of short films, when he sent pitches for another screenplay via e-mail to 30 producers and directors.?Addis was the only one on his list who showed interest, he said, and they began trading ideas for another screenplay idea until, "hundreds of e-mails later," in Wired's words, they completed their script.?
