Quoted from khamanna Leegion, I think you should just send them what you got. They'll tell you if they want a rewrite and give you some feedback.

They'll take one glance and say "Yeah, no", lol.  

I'm 50 pages through at the moment, so by the end of tonight, that'll be in the 70s.  By Sunday it should be finished, so the 25th January will become the 20th.

5 days in advance might help sway them to a "yes, we'll film it".  

Allow yourself an extra day or two, just to run through and make sure everything is how you want it. You'll be surprised the things you'll see... and when you have time, it's always good to use it.

Well done... just had similar news for one of my own scripts, so finger's crossed for both of us.

The script is officially with them now.  91 pages should work, and it's the perfect length for an action thriller.

On another note, a Literary Agency is interested in taking my novel on...

What's happening?  Why am I getting closer all of a sudden?  This is wacky.  People on another site said my writing sucks, then this happens...

Either A) I am Good at this or B) Someone made a mistake.  Probably B.  

Congratulations!!!

All it takes really, is for a producer/director/actor to like what you write. Not readers.  

That's right. All that matters is what the people with the money say. Lol. =)

Once you know how to format and write a script, then opinions from other people are merely opinions. Other writers are the hardest people to please... partly because they didn't write it.

Well... I made a mistake.  Sent the wrong version in, lol.

I corrected it by sending the latest version.  This happens when you have 2 files labeled "Deep", so I changed it to "That Which Cuts Deep".

Feel like a right plank.

Good Luck to you!

I lose track of what script is what too all the time. I'm also stupid. Last year I wrote a script titled $2M Cash. I wasn't crazy about the script so I never went back for a rewrite, but I liked the title so I wrote another one titled $2M Cash!!!  That one I'm currently rewriting. Guess how many drafts I have now on my laptop named $2M Cash???  Now I always save my scripts with the title and date so I won't ever have to wonder which one I need.  

Thanks AB,

Yeah, happens a lot.  My computer used to tell me.  Guess it gave up.

Anyway, hopefully I'll have some news in the coming weeks.

Just my opinion, but if you're going to be writing for producers, directors, etc. in the future, or you want to be paid to write for these people, you ought to invest in yourself first and purchase a quality screenwriting program like Final Draft or Movie Magic Screenwriter.  Those two programs are industry standard and you'll just be so much better off for using one of those.  I have both, just so if I'm partnering with someone who has one platform versus the other, I'm good.  You can get Final Draft for $169 up until January 31st, or if you somehow have academic connections, you can get it for $99.

Either of those programs will import your word document (you'll have to do a little cleanup on it).

I'm working with a director for my feature film that starts filming in July (that's why I've been absent from these boards lately), and he was adamant about everything being in Final Draft so all changes could be tracked (which Final Draft easily does for you).  I've also just partnered up with another writer on another feature project, and we're able to easily swap files back and forth because we're both on Final Draft.

Good luck, though, on this project!

Hawkeye,

I've got Celtx now.  Wish I could afford something like Final Draft, MMS or Trelby, but I'm stumped for cash at the minute, so I'll run with "free" for the time being.

Just pushed another script forward.  A short has been sold.  The feature I'm pushing now is a low-budget drama/thriller based on the murder of a young girl, which follows a troubled detective.  I.E in the vein of Broadchurch, with a darker tone.

Still haven't heard back from New Trick's yet.  Guessing it takes a while?

Good Luck

Fade In is good at importing PDF, the software actually converts it automatically, with some errors though.
