If this is suppose to be a SUPER - you need to label it as such and embed it in a scene. If you embed it in the scene that follows, then you don't need to repeat that it is summer.
Quoted Text
EXTERIOR FOREST - NIGHT
It is the crack of dawn. The view is of the early morning light of a summer day breaking over treetops in the northern Rocky Mountains. The scene is absolutely still until we hear the sound of heavy footfalls, labored breathing, brush crunching underfoot. The tips of a great many elk antlers break the plane of growing light that is the horizon. A man, barely discernible as such in the faint light, labors under a tremendous stack of elk antlers, walking directly into the camera with the accompanying increase in volume of the sounds of a man working very hard, plowing through brush.
The scene headings are in the wrong format. e.g., should be EXT. not EXTERIOR and if you are in the Rocky's - put it in the heading.
e.g.,
EXT. ROCKY MOUNTAIN FOREST - NIGHT
You have three opening action blocks in excess of 10 lines. The above is the first. They all are too long. Partly because they are written in novel rather than script fashion and contain descriptions that are not needed or could be included in the scene heading. Charles - this will keep folks from getting past the first page.
Take a look at some scripts to get a feel for how description is handled.
