Hey everyone,

I just finished reading The Hollars - Austin Bennet suggested the read on SS Facebook page and I decided to give it a look.

Just need to say it's a great screenplay and a very easy read. You read it and immediately want to write something like that - it's this good.

There's a SS Facebook group?

I'm joining....

Can someone please post a link to the SS facebook page. For the life of me I can't find it.

Thanks

In the meantime the script can be found here:

Scroll down the page.

Oh, man, thanks LC! I was meaning to post the link to the script and got so excited when posting that forgot.

Well, at least I can do some good - here's the FB SS page:

Interesting/different style. I read 30 pages.

Character descriptions were almost novel-like. If a newbie had posted for feedback - there would be several suggested changes made by peeps.

Several unfilmables.

Very little action in long sets of dialogue (i.e., the dialogue is bam-bam). Limited physical actions of the characters is described.

Scene descriptions are terse  - limited.

Overall, the writer spends must of the descriptive space on character (and in a novel like fashion) and almost no space on scene descriptions. Dialogue is left to stand on it's one with little interruption from what the characters may be physically doing during that dialogue. For the most part - all of this works.  I think that I saw (or at least imagined) everything the write wanted me too.

Hey, Dave, true that. As I started reading it I remember thinking all that stuff about the little description and being not very happy with it at the beginning. Then I caught myself thinking "where did all the previous thoughts go?".

What's interesting is - the writer doesn't care about big twists and turns and the story still works very well.

Quoted from khamanna Hey, Dave, true that. As I started reading it I remember thinking all that stuff about the little description and being not very happy with it at the beginning.

Yep - just goes to show you that what works in terms of turning the pages  is what really matters.

I love to read a script that has a unique feel to it. I like it when people break the rules as long as they have the writing balls to back it up.

Thanks for putting the link up Khamanna.

I had made a FB account with my writing nom de plume (lol) just to sign up.
