Writer interested in feedback on this work

Hi Simon

Well done, I like this - Concise, easy to read and follow. I enjoyed the story also.

I only have a couple of small bits to mention:

Your log line, kinda ruined the story for me - I know viewers, if produced, wouldn't read a log line - but as a reader, the moment he comes in and says "Mr president" It should be an "Oooo" moment, but I already read it in the log line.

He mentions that this is the second time he has presented a document, this time for more money, but she is still surprised that he want's to buy her silence - wouldn't that have come up the first time?

The ending - I am not saying change it, it's your story - but sometimes what we don't see is more powerful - Him walking away (remorseful/not remorseful) and hearing a gun shot, is another way to go

Oh and I also like that you chose the nursery as the location for the ending - well done

All the best

Matt

Simon,

Just read your script. Great job. It's very well written, and the dialogue is well written. I agree with the other commenter about the reveal that Michael was the president, but it was still a great read. I hope this gets produced.

P.S. I'm looking for some feedback on my script. It's in the sci-fi short section. It's called inescapable. Care to give it a read?

Simon,

I like what you come up with, and this is no different.

A 30 year old President? Really?

I agree with Matt regarding the ending. Black screen it, with a gunshot.

Nice work.

Daniel
