Hey Joshua... That Black, Red and Blue thing really makes for a colorful script but I don't think that's what a potential producer is looking for when he reads it. Formatting really goes a long way when someone reads your script and I don't think this script is formatted properly.
I doubt anyone reviewing this script got past the first couple of pages. At least I didn't. It's obvious you put an effort into it but I'm afraid it missed the mark, IMO.
Read other scripts in here. Get a screenwriting book. With knowledge and desire, you will improve. Good luck.

Write on,

Peter

Hi there - I have to echo the above comments (with the variation that I know it's not formatted properly).

Formatting really is an important part of screen-writing, and you have to look into doing it properly.

I also had some concerns about the dialogue - you could do worse than to Google how to write better dialogue.

Also, the script is not a short. I did a quick experiment, correctly formatted one page, and the script went to 39 pages: It's 15,000 words long - that's more like a 100-120 page script when correctly formatted.

I think that if you are serious about this, you should take some key ideas from it and do a short, and then re-post.

Best o' luck.
