I'm going to be honest.
You're a great writer. You make some pretty good descriptions.

Unfortunately, at least IMO, this script reads more like a novel.
All your descriptions are long and drawn out.

Even your logline is insanely long.


Screenplay writing should be more condensed. Short. Vivid. Paint your pictures with as few words as possible.

Anyway, look forward to seeing you here on the boards.

A torn barbed fence, stained from the intensity of heat
and neglect, sits on a leaned posture. The fence dances
against the sterile wind, bouncing back between beats.

This wouldn't make a good novel.

Can a wind be sterile? Not too sure if I get that? This is just playing with words.
