It's good to get feedback but don't take it all to heart or change everything on someones say so. Make the film, you won't win an Oscar but if you can get it made you are doing a lot better than most. I would love to make one of my shorts into a film but that won't be happening any time soon...

There were no text messages, the delivery man heard her speak

I agree with directorik, adapt one of your novels. You should definitely write what you are good at so stick with the same genre. Also as mlesemann says, write some shorts to give you a feel for screenwriting. Get some screenwriting software like Celtx, this will format your scripts correctly...

When did that happen?

You've changed her name but not here; "NATASMAI cradles JAMES’ hand, giving a crooked smile." I would keep Natasmai as her name for the reason I gave above. Also why would she spend months with James, surely she would have killed him by now. I think it would be better to have James take her...

I know what you mean with the name but Natasmai sounds foreign so would explain her strange dialect.

I just realised who Natasmai is but still doen't explain why she wants to kill James. I think this is quite a good idea but it just doesn't work as it is. Maybe make it a bit longer and let us know why she wants to take his life. You don't need to reveal that until the end but at least it would...

I don't think you should have subtitles. I also think James should find out she is speaking backwards by accident. Haven't thought how, maybe a fault with his phone. I think the delivery driver just telling him is... well it just ruins it for me.

Well that's burst my bubble :lol:

Yeah but it's OK, they said if I send them £1,000 they can send me my $100,000,000 winnings so that's all good.

I'd rather not say as they might find out I'm doubting them, I wouldn't want to upset them lol I just wondered if this sort of things happen. I'm new to all this. They seem reputable and the judges seem to have written for some good shows. Oh well I'll just wait and see what happens.

Do you mean who is running it?

I've just entered a script writing contest and was informed today that I've made the semi finals. Is this any good or do they tell everyone they are in the semi final to make them feel good? Do they do this so that you are tempted to submit more scripts and therefore spend more money. Yes I...

I often think about the way I speak and trying to write it is not easy. I like the sign above and I reckon that's spot on.

Yeah I was going to add about "Something" like "Summit," "Sumfink," Sumink," or "Something". I was talking about strong accents like the trainspotting example, I still say it's not crucial though. I'm in the UK and my "Something" examples are used all the time where I am. Obviously if my...
