Samuel - opened this. Just from the first 1/3rd page I'd recommend that you do some clean-up.


Quoted Text
INT.EVANS' HOUSE MORNING
HOWARD'S ROOM


Should be:

INT. EVAN'S HOUSE - BEDROOM - MORNING


Quoted Text
HOWARD EVANS wakes up in the morning from the bed.


Don't need in the morning - it's in the header already. Give us an age an a description - this is your main character. e.g., something like:

HOWARD EVANS (30), stirs awake. He has a thick build, balding hair.

Whatever - let's us see him as you do.


Quoted Text
He fixes his bed; Take a bath, and dress up.


You can't do this - that's two or three different scenes. You could not reference them at all and just show him in the next scene showered and dressed - but you can't do it the way you did.

Also - should be dresses.


Quoted Text
MARIA EVANS(HOWARD EVANS' mother) calls him for breakfast.


Delete Howard's Mother - it's an unfilmable. Just have him refer to him as Mom later.


Quoted Text
HOWARD EVANS (V.O)
This is my daily life. As you can
see,I love my family,My
mom,Maria,My dad,Brian,who
unfortunately died a few years
ago.Fun fact,when my father is the
most wealthiest man in the
ciry.Still,there's mom to support
me.But I want to be something
else,something different.


Riddled with typos and grammar errors. Almost every line.

Hope this helps. Best of luck.
