Quoted from Felipe
Anyone else just unable to read past page 5 on this week's script? Maybe I'm just tired.


I read this one a couple weeks ago.
It was against Clone Wife as a candidate for a read.

So, naturally I checked out the competition then.
And after ten pages...
I felt like my script had a pretty good chance of getting chosen.

Guess there's a dry spell of amateur submissions in the old inbox.

Regards,
E.D.

I thought the MMA script was clean, fast read. However, I stopped after 12 pages because it didn't offer much that was different to Rocky. It's kinda unfair to compare it to a classic, but when the story is set in Philly and the setup is very similar, then it's hard not to compare it to Rocky.

I don't think there is a dry spell. I think he gets hundreds every week and he just kind of selects some randomly. He doesn't really have time to look too closely at them is my guess. He's mentioned that in the past. That's why he suggests submitting every couple of weeks, because his inbox is flooded, and odds are against being opened in the first place. Luck of the draw. That's why some of the logs were really bad.

I didn't read this week's, but he did say it was a Nicholl's semifinalist I think. Something like that. It must have had some merit. Maybe it just doesn't start well. I don't know. Nicholls judges have to read the whole script, so it can survive a slow build.

From the mailing list:

Way To The Cage placed in the 2nd Round of the Austin Film Festival Competition 2012 (Top 10% out of 6,500).

Not quite Nicholls. But Austin's cool too.

Has anyone been having trouble accessing the site? Got on this a.m. but then it went down again. And what about emails from Carson? Now that he has this new format I'm not sure if he ditched the weekly 'what's coming up'?

Anyone?

According to him, he said he stopped sending scripts. You have to find them. But I haven't gotten an email from him. I just watch on the sidelines now.

The site went down for awhile yesterday, but now it's back up.  Got the email from him last Friday with the script links and the amateur offerings.  Tomorrow is something called "Crash Course" which is described as Animal House at MIT.  Haven't read it yet, though.

I haven't been hanging out on the site much since the Slaughter slaughter.
I did get one mailer, with a review of the #1 Black List 2012 script enclosed.

He pushed off the Amateur Friday review today.
Re-scheduled Crash Course to next Friday for some reason.
But there's quite an interesting article about story density and scene micro construction.

I dig looking at the small pieces like that, suits my puzzle brain!

Strange, haven't got any emails for the past few weeks. If anyone could forward this week's email with Kevin and Philip's script, it would be appreciated.

"from Kevin: thanks for support. I want to correct the info in Carson's post. This script was written a couple months ago so has not been a Nicholl's quarterfinalist. I mentioned to Carson that I was a quarterfinalist last year, but that was a different script. Got lost in translation. Thanks."

It's a real treat to see Philip AND Kevin on the amateur candidate list this week.
I've read Phil's script and gave him notes a little ways back.
So, it'll be interesting to see where he took that narrative from there!
And I'm super stoked read a brand new script from Kev

Almost a shame to have you guys go against each other.
Maybe we, as a site, should coordinate that a little better? LOL!

You guys were all so great about Clone Wife.
Let's dive in and show the same support this week for our comrades in screenwriting!

E.D.

Like mo, I don't seem to get the newsletters now. Humm.

Anyway great news to hear Kevin's in the mix. I felt bad that my post on the "lets talk about Kevin thred" was mistaken as negative about him, I meant just the opposite. A bit of late night humour not working out!!

Keep going bud, and fingers crossed for you.

As I haven't got the newsletter I don't know which Philip has also been selected.
