"Stranded in the mountains of Colorado, a fractured family on the mend must put aside their differences to survive the attacks of a creature unlike any on earth."
While the script entered into PAGE was 116 pages, the actual final draft is 105 pages -- That is the version I'm sending out, and will also be resubmitting to Page should I be lucky enough to advance into the finals on August 15th.
We'll see -- But regardless of how well it does or doesn't do in Page from here on out, there is enough buzz about it now and enough hands on it that I've got an option or two hovering about.
The thing that sets it apart, as I've been told, is you actually care for the people you're suppose to care about and hate the people you're suppose to hate, but as soon as the middle man comes in you throw all of those emotions out the window and start thinking about the group as a whole -- about how they're going to survive. Good guy, bad guy, whatever... They're not near as bad as what they're up against.
It truly is a damn good script. I love it more and more every time I read it or tweak it...
Baltis and Dreamscale should combine their scripts into one. Call it "Fade to Frostbite".
On a serious note I really don't wanna start a new thread but I've noticed diffences in the title page. Is there an industry standard these days or does it even matter?
Examples I've seen:

If memory serves, Fade to White, and it's been a few since I brushed up on it, was a slasher -- These two scripts couldn't be further apart if you slapped Romantic Comedy on one and Black Exploitation on the other.
While very few have read Frostbite outside of Adam Levenberg, who helped me tremendously early on with it, the Page Award people and now, more recently, a few producers -- I can assure you these scripts are nothing alike... Hell, even the location I used was made up. Frostbite is certainly Drama/Horror... Probably more Drama than horror, to be honest.

It was a joke. And a GOOD one at that. Both horror movies, both take place in Colorado. Any-who... moving right along.
