I cant navigate there for some reason. So was it chosen or it needs more votes? If it needs votes then please help me to understand how to vote there as O read it and liked it a lot
I hate the forum there and seem unable to follow the discussions there. Who wants to scroll through 500 comments? I only read his articles and even then, only if the subject interests me.
Also, Shawn Davis' feature was picked up by Carson and got noticed and produced shortly after that.
I think that project fell through. However, Carson did help getting it into some really big hands, and I believe an A-list actor (can't mention him by name) read the script even. So, even if nothing came of it, it opened doors for Shawn and Carson definitely did help with that.
Oh, I didn't know that fell through. But I did see that Shawn was given a feature project shortly after that, and that was indeed the success he had with this one. Carson liked it I remember.
Could someone direct me to Carson's review please. I can't find it, no matter how well I look really. Would be interesting to see it as I read the Red Light.
I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good. I enjoy writing the same. Looking to team with anyone!
I read Carson's review, and although I am not a fan of his, if what he's saying is correct, I have to agree with him. Many times, as I often say, it's the little things right up front that doom a script in terms of character's actions, and even character descriptions being too cutesy or the like.
I have not read this script, however - is it available somewhere here?
I have read and participated on the site because it meets my number one criteria - it's free. I see things that I agree with and things that I don't both from Carson and other posters - but have I learned things and been exposed to different perspectives on writing.
Unlike this site, the posts are haphazard and can be all over the map. You'll start something that focuses on the review of a particular script and will all of a sudden be looking at on a dozen posts on "did you like the new Star Trek?".
I have sent scripts there for review with no luck. I do believe that a positive review could bring some favorable exposure. Conversely, a negative review could do just the opposite so one is taking their chances.

This x1000.
After my win was largely ignored and the review was posted with a negative reaction, I've never felt so out of my league in my entire life. I feel like I'm literally picking apart the (mostly negative) comments that actually pertain to my script just find something positive and keep my head above water. Because, let's face it, when you're already down and the hits keep on coming, you can't help but feel bad. Oh well, it's definitely giving me thicker skin, so I can at least be grateful for that.
I haven't been in the firing line like you, Chris, but I will say I know from experience any negative critism often trumps the positive and it's hard to see the wood from the trees.
So I'll post this summing up of Carson's review again in case it got lost in amongst the other stuff:
...the premise began to win me over as the script went on. I thought it was clever to make the ghost woman an investigator who was in the middle of trying to find a missing child. It brought another level of mystery to the teenagers’ investigation. ... I could see this being a direct-to-digital horror title. Why not? It has a great title. It’s an easy-to-understand concept.
