I downloaded a lot of the Pro action scripts on here to see how they did it.

There's an awful lot of:

Bam! He smashes through the door!
Tatatatat gunfire sprays wildy!
The sort of stuff people really hate on here, but makes sense to me in these kind of scripts.


I noticed this too:

Collateral - great movie.

BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! Vincent FIRES
BLAM! A MUZZLE FLASH.
WHACK! Vincent swings

Quoted from Scar Tissue Films
I'd rather just score the scripts, if it's possible. Then leave feedback once it's over.


One good thing about this suggestion is that I've often found that if a script gets ripped bad upon the first review... it usually always effects the reads. I do not look at the reviews before I read the script but I assume the first review is HARD to miss...

By scoring the scripts and after the scoring is done then posting the feedback, it would eliminate that stuff affecting or swaying reads maybe.

Good idea Rick.

Dena, one stipulation is you have to include the props from the first three rounds in your script for round 4:

So make sure the bobblehead uses hand sanitizer before inserting the whistle and trading card in the pilots arse as he crashes the plane into the church next to the psychiatrist’s office above the sewer

Michael Mann apparently got detail heavy in his old age. Much more detailed than the "Chaos ensues" on the bank shootout for Heat...

Like usual, I'm pretty f_cking psyched to see what people think. And then it's just like Dustin said, reviewers pull the curtains back to reveal the shite.

Oh, but THIS time it's going to be different... yes... this time...

I just re-read what I wrote. Hoo boy. What was I thinking?  Poker playing pigs in church?  Vatican priest trading cards? Donald Trump as president? None of this makes sense. The idea of writing on opioids is pretty overrated.


Some of my scripts:

Bounty (TV Pilot) -- Top 1% of discoverable screenplays on Coverfly
I'll Be Seeing You (short) - OWC winner
The Gambler (short) - OWC winner
Skip (short) - filmed
Country Road 12 (short) - filmed
The Family Man (short) - filmed
The Journeyers (feature) - optioned

Dena, just write how you did in your drug mule story, plenty of action in that one.

At this stage I'm out of this one. I know hokey when I read it and I've not come up with anything that passes my personal ok-meter.  

Might get back in for the Sci-fi challenge.

I love the way you've organised this Sean. It means we can dip in and out and even if our scores drop we can still partake. It's not all about winning which is great.

Quick question...

Can my script feature next to a church but not necessarily in it?
