A lot of camera directions on the first page.
I would get rid of the CUT TO:'s. They're irrelevant.

Camera directions are fine. They're only bad when you don't know what you're doing. If a director wants to change things later then they can. I took a look at the writing in the first couple of pages and it seems very competent to me.

Don't be afraid of camera directions. We are screenwriters, after all.

I should add that it also doesn't matter if we don't use them.
