SCRIPT: Usually I have it in correct format, but I could not upload it from my Celtx/Final Draft program, so this is the best I could do. Pretty simple. Enjoy.
Keep in mind I wrote it at 3am in 1 hour. When we dub over, it will change, and will be much more fluid.
EXT. OVERGROWN - GAS STATION - DAYTIME
Leeback, Jackson, Kelly, and Lopez sit crouched, awaiting orders from Cpt. Leeback.
LEEBACK
Alright. As you all know, we had a huey go down about half a klick from here, over on the west bend. No radio signals were received that anyone managed to survive, but a stress signal was sent out right near the crash site, so obviously someone is still alive. Unfortunately there's alot of activity from the KGB forces, so keep your eyes open and your mouths shut, LOPEZ.
LOPEZ
Why the fuck did you point me out?
LEEBACK
Because you don't know how to shut up.
LOPEZ
Give me a break. Kelly talks more than I do!
KELLY
Fuck you!
LOPEZ
Hey, Fu...
LEEBACK
Enough. Let's head North down here and we can cut across somewhere near where the stress signal went out.
The men move out as a group, tactically working their way down the road.
LOPEZ
I tell you, my feet are fucking killing me. I should've worn those..those..blue things..
JACKSON
Gels...
LOPEZ
Yeah, the foot gels! I wish I was fuckin' gelling. Damn. Sometimes I think, when I'm older, I'll be in a wheelchair, cause' my feet always hurt.
LEEBACK
Keep it up and I'll put you in a wheelchair! Now take point god damnit!
Leeback moves back from point and takes the rear. They continue on.
LOPEZ
Lopez do this, Lopez do that, Lopez shut up, Lopez take point. All I get is flak from you guys, but I do all the work...
A single sniper shot takes out Lopez. He crumbles to the ground immediately. The rest of the squad falls to prone, spread out.
KELLY
Where the fuck did that come from?!
LEEBACK
LOPEZ?! LOPEZ!
Lopez can be heard whimpering as he lays motionless. Jackson peeks over and edge of his hiding spot and spots a position where the sniper might be.
JACKSON
That's where I'd be... Lay low boys, this sniper is quite the marksman...
CUT TO: A shot of the sniper and then the sniper scope, viewing the dead Lopez and the surrounding area, looking for a shot...
CUT TO: Jackson, laying prone, and going into crouch, sliding forward just a bit...
CUT TO: Enemy sniper scope. He views the area and looks to the right and spots the sniper. Muzzle flash. The sniper flings back, dead.
CUT TO: Jackson stands up proudly.
JACKSON
Got him.
Leeback and Kelly run to Lopez' body, and look at him, dead.
KELLY
We can't take him, what do we do?
LEEBACK
...Leave him. We have to keep moving. Obviously we're not welcome.
The men continue, now simply a trio. They move through to a ravine and spot two men standing, talking. Weapons at their sides.
SPECIALIST 3
The best part of that movie is the end, when you find out the guy is dead the whole time.
SPECIALIST 2
Yeah, but I saw it coming.
Suddenly, they are both knifed to the ground.
LEEBACK
Take all grenades and weaponry.
KELLY
You expecting World War 3 cap'n?
LEEBACK
No, but it never hurts to be prepared. Here, let's take up post in the barn.
JACKSON
Looks like it might rain.
The men run inside the barn as thunder bangs around them.
INT. BARN - DOWNPOUR - OVERCAST
The men get inside and all take a knee.
KELLY
Whew, looks like it's heavy rain today.
LEEBACK
Alright, the huey fell back about a quarter west from here, but the stress signal was a bit South from this location. Chances are whoever is left was captured and taken somewhere up ahead.
JACKSON
Looks like there's stairs over there. If you want, I can set up and play Eagle.
LEEBACK
Do it. Kelly and I will move forward with your cover, find the MIA and bring him back this way. Do you have extraction smoke?
JACKSON
Yes sir.
LEEBACK
Alright, when we radio in that we're on our way back, pop the smoke and call it in. Let's move.
EXT. DOWNPOUR - OVERCAST
Leeback and Kelly move forward slowly as Jackson plants claymores and takes up point by the turret porch.
Leeback and Kelly drift from the position and spot a few men, picking them off quickly and moving forward. They come to the wall and pause.
JACKSON (RADIO)
Hold. You got two skinnies poppin' a squat right on you. Goood niggght.
Jackson nails the first guy. He fires and the second runs inside the building.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
Fuck! He's on the movie in that building! Take him out!
Leeback and Kelly run forward. They stop at the entrance.
LEEBACK
Flashbang.
Leeback tosses it in and Kelly runs in.
INT. RANDOM ROOM
SPECIALIST 1
Sniper in northern turret location, one man down, I'm...
The flashbang explodes and all you see is white, suddenly, you can make out the sight of a man...
KELLY
BOO!
BANG.
EXT. DOWNPOUR - OVERCAST
Kelly walks out and Leeback gets back in position. The two inch towards the edge of the place and peak. A man with an RPG let's loose as it flys toward them.
LEEBACK
GET DOWN!
The RPG barely misses and the man is reloading. Leeback pops out and shoots him down. Two more men appear and Leeback mows them down as well.
LEEBACK
Move across! Go!
Kelly runs across and makes it. He turns and watches the same direction Leeback did.
KELLY
Go!
Leeback begins to run and bullets fly down at his feet. Two men are inside a house, shooting. Kelly takes them out as Leeback crosses, barely making it.
LEEBACK
Alright, Jackson, we're moving around towards the west towards some sort of house where we think the MIA is. We'll keep you updated.
JACKSON
I can barely...I think radio signals are...
CUT TO: The radio signal is no longer active. Jackson lays prone still, not paranoid. Suddenly a claymore goes off, killing one.
JACKSON
Shit...
Jackson crouches, his rifle pointed at the entry of the stairwell. A man runs up. BANG, dead. Another runs up, BANG, dead. A grenade...
Jackson dives off the porch and runs into the garden area. Two men run in and he switches to pistol. BANG BANG, dead, dead. More men run in, he knifes one. But they finally kill him.
CUT TO: Kelly and Leeback. They can hear faint shooting, but move forward. They come to a brick wall with one entrance. They move forward and spot two guards strafing. They approach and take them out. They sweep across and plant claymores and the hall entrance and move to the windows. Inside, they see the MIA... DEAD. No luck. There's three men inside and Leeback and Jackson let lose.
LEEBACK
Shit, the MIA is dead. Let's move out! JACKSON! We're... JACKSON! JACKSON! No response... SHIT. MOVE!
They run back and suddenly hear a helicopter flying overhead...
KELLY
Friendlies are here! Good, let's move to the open!
Kelly runs out and the helicopter unloads, almost killing him.
KELLY
Son of a bitch! That's not very nice!
LEEBACK
You've got to be shitting me. Take it out!
More men attack as they exit from where they came. Leeback shoots down whoever comes out as Kelly preps the RPG. He aims and takes out the heli.
LEEBACK
Nice shot! Let's move.
They run across the open and suddenly Kelly is shot down and put into his Last Stand. Leeback runs back and starts covering Kelly, shooting enemies non-stop.
KELLY
I can't walk!
LEEBACK
I'll carry you!
KELLY
Just go! I'll call an airstrike on my location to give you cover!
LEEBACK
But I can carry...
KELLY
Vernon... Just... Go...
Leeback sprints off.
KELLY
This is Bravo G1, requesting airstrike on my location, ordinances on 68, 12, 113, due west, popping smoke...
CUT TO: Leeback running like crazy, enemies shooting at him as he goes. He runs out of ammo and switches to pistol, racing for the barn.
RADIO
Comin' in hot...
CUT TO: Kelly, shooting with his pistol as the rain pours down and the enemies fire down at him. Suddenly you hear the planes...
KELLY
Yippee Kay Aye Mother Fuckerrrsss!!!!
The explosion covers the screen to black.
THE END.

Filming is wrapped for "Dig" by Aaron K. Miles :-)
"The only job where you start at the top, is digging a hole."
Scouting a location way out past Apache Junction, I found the best deserted, barren desert land I could hope for. Especially considering that I had no permit to use for filming.
On March 1st, my film crew of 6 and myself drove out and began filming the 3-minute piece on the Scoopic 16mm camera.
The script can be found here: "Dig" by Aaron K. Miles
Quite the challenge, considering the heat and time constraints involved. After finishing, everyone was either sunburnt, tired, dirty, or dead... err...
All jokes aside, it went really well, and I couldn't have asked for a better team of actors as well. The film is being sent in to be processed and then I'll edit it in time for the SCC Film Festival as well as various other film festivals across the west coast. Exciting, eh?
Anyways, now that this amazing experience has begun to settle, I've begun working on a script that will be 100+ pages and will be my first true proof that I can indeed, write. Haha.
I plan to finish by Summer's end, and hopefully it turns out to be something amazing, so we'll see.
Anyways, expect more updates, news, etc now that the stress has let up just a bit. :)

Top Five Hitmen in Cinema History
With the release of In Bruges, which focuses on two hitmen on a vacation, I thought I'd compile a list of some of the all-time favorite hitmen we've come to love. (In no particular order):
Vincent from Collateral
Why: A cool, calculating contract killer, played by Tom Cruise (in his best role yet) hijacks a taxi cab, driven by Max (Jamie Foxx). Driving from hit to hit, Vincent takes out each person quickly and efficiently.
Shining Moment: After offing some rich guy, Vincent walks out to find two thugs walking off with his briefcase. He approaches the men, who brandish pistols, but...
Does He Make It Out Alive: Unfortunately, no. After attempting to kill an attorney who Max hit on, Max takes power into his own hands and has a showdown with Vincent on the Subway.
Leon from The Professional
Why: Leon is an immigrant hitman whose perfected the art of killing. When Matilda (Natalie Portman) has her entire family killed, Leon takes her under his arms, and teaches her the ropes about killing, and ultimately, getting revenge on those responsible for her families demise.
Shining Moment: Although the end is epic as he fends off the police, it's the opening that really shows what he's capable of.
Does He Make It Out Alive: No. The dirty cop (Gary Oldman) spots Leon escaping and guns him down. But Leon has a little present for him... Grenades.
Martin Q. Blank from Grosse Point Blank
Why: Coming home for a high school reunion, Martin (John Cusack) plans to take care of a hit while he's at it. Talk about multi-tasking! Add on to that an old flair of his (Minnie Driver) and some top notch comedy, and you've got yourself a movie.
Shining Moment: Being attacked during the reunion by a rival hitman, Martin uses martial arts and a ball point pen to kill the prick.
Does He Make It Out Alive: Indeed, all in a days work, and he gets the girl!
Jules from Pulp Fiction
Why: Samuel L. Jackson plays a hitman who can't get a break. Whether it's being held up at a restaurant, or having his partner accidentally shoot someone in the head, he still has his moments of coolness.
Shining Moment: Jules interrogates a few goons, and dares the man to say "What" again!
Does He Make It Out Alive: After having an epiphany, Jules decides to retire and walk the Earth. His partner isn't so lucky though.
Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men
Why: He doesn't stop. Ever. Almost mechanical in his hunt for Moss (Josh Brolin), Anton, played oh so well by Javier Bardem, is extremely evil. Don't believe me? Flip a coin and call it...
Shining Moment: Infiltrating a hotel room, Anton easily disposes of all three enemies inside.
Does He Make It Out Alive: Busted up in a car accident, he sucks it up and walks away free.
