Miguel:

There is an error in all of your scene headers. You're missing a space. e.g., this:


Quoted Text
EXT. PORTLAND STREETS- DAY


Should be:

EXT. PORTLAND STREETS - DAY

Try to decrease the use of is and ares in your writing - it'll make it more efficient. e.g.,


Quoted Text
The clouds are grey, the streets are slicked with rain, not a
soul is nearby.


Can simple be:

Grey clouds. Empty streets slicked with rain.


Quoted Text
KATHERINE YOUNGSTONE (20s) is a girl with deep scars, both
physical and psychological. She's constantly drenched in a
self imposed silence and mystery.


Most of this is unfilmable - you need to provide the above info through action or dialogue rather than telling us.

Watch out for the "ing" words. e.g.,


Quoted Text
Katherine's eyes are dripping with her black make-up, she's
looking out into the world, she takes a long drag of her
cigarette and walks off the building.


Better as:

Mascara streaks from Katherine's eyes as she looks out into the world...

Overall - rather than:

Dave is typing comments.....

write

Dave types comments

All of the above issues are throughout.

Best of luck
