Not sure if you'd want to have newbie on the site read it or if you'd rather keep it to just a few people, but my e-mail is cinemachado@gmail.com if you'd like me to take a look. I'll read it for free and you don't even have to read mine. Hehe

'Artist' is not a term you should use to refer to yourself. Let others, and your work, do it for you.
Thanks heaps, guys! I think I'll make some changes with the comments I'm getting for now After the new year, I'll be reading and reviewing to return the favor, though!
I'm gonna wrap it up tonight, I believe -- but what troubled me most about their coverage was they kept speaking in terms of ACT structure and not pace and development. The 3 act structure isn't really a gold rule standard anymore and it's almost as if, after reading the coverage, they held you to a 30 - 40 - 20 or a 30 - 60 - 20 standard. Just doesn't seem logical to do so, since most of the industry has moved away from it.
Anyways, I'll get back to ya with a PDF version of "opinions" soon.
I've read Rebecca's script and afterwards read the coverage notes. First of all, Rebecca is a very talented writer who really did a lot of things amazingly well for a new writer working on a first feature. Usually first time features are full of on the nose dialogue or long action descriptions. None of that here.
I'm not going to say more about the script here, I have given her my notes. But I do want to say this was an example where coverage notes were absolutely worth their weight in gold. I really have to hand it to that coverage reader. The notes really identified the strengths and weaknesses of this script, and in a way that will actually really help the writer with not only this script but the next one.

Rebekah,
Would you be interested in sharing your coverage notes on the thread? I'd like to see them and how you felt about them. First impressions with new script can go a long way to shaping future drafts.
No matter what it says, try to stay thrilled you've gotten this far. I've known so many that won't throw their work to the coverage wolves. So good on you for taking that step.
Regards, E.D.
LATEST NEWS CineVita Films is producing a short based on my new feature!
Hey guys! Thanks so much for all the feedback - it's so helpful!! I'm boarding my freakishly long flight in about 12 hours, and the rewrite will begin! In the meantime, I'll send it over to a couple other guys to get their thoughts and maybe by the end of all this, I'll have something of a little gem (well, maybe costume jewelry or something...).
