I'm also pretty excited to read these. It's going to be a hoot!

I haven't looked at mine since finishing it. I showed it to my filmmaker friend and...well, he doesn't want to shoot it. I think it made him nauseated.  But he's dead inside, so maybe I hit the nail on the head.

This is part of why my little red boat is securely tied to the dock. I think someone could do a good story with the concept. I am convinced that someone is not me.


Feature-length scripts:
Who Wants to Be a Princess? (Family)
Glass House (Horror anthology)

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

Additional scripts are listed here.

Two steps to writing a good screenplay:

2) Fix it

Quoted from Dreamscale
So...just let my girlfriend read what I had so far, and after 2 pages, she was obviously upset and tried to walk away.  After my best romantic niceness, I begged her to just finish, which she did.  I didn't have any roses or chocolate to giver her...

She's been really pissed ever since and said there's not 1 single funny anything in the script.

Well...I beg to differ.  This could be a rough OWC, and I am prepared for it.

ARGH!!!!!!


Your girlfriend's pissed?

What - lot of orphans?????

She was furious, actually.  I don't get why, but I don't get chicks, either.

It could be that too many characters kept saying, "You get me?" over and over.  I don't know.

I still have a scene to write and I'm scared to read what I have, as maybe the Jager made me think it was funny...cuz she sure didn't find it amusing.

Okay, first review here. Let’s see what we got. No title page. That’s a bad start. No FADE IN. An incomplete sentence right off the bat, and ending that with an ellipsis?  This needs to get better quickly if I’m gonna read on.

What’s with the ALL CAPS starting the next line.  Horrible grammar at work here, there’s no plot, and fewer characters.

Hate to say it bro, but I’m out.

My favorite Jeff review of one of my OWCs:
The good news...

Peeps seem to enjoy this for some reason.

The not so good news...

The bad news...

I'm out after the first passage.  I cannot stand this smarmy style.

Obviously a pisser, with zero effort to meet the actual challenge.

I will not waste anymore time on this garbage.

Grade...

D-


I am hoping to move up to a D+

Sorry, Dave.

You may give mine a similar review this time around...in fact, most probably will.
