He really needs to learn the difference between the audience knowing a character and caring about them. Just started reading the script and I now know Paslow is a renowned costume maker who's recently lost his touch, but all of this is out right dumped onto the reader in the first 30 seconds by having the characters say it instead of showing it. There's a part where he says the other kids are starting to notice, and I would expect a cutaway to maybe a funny gag or at least an example of kids catching on to him, but nope. We get nothing.
