Having been absent for quite some time, it's great to be back again. A few old monikers I recognize and many new talents! I was hoping for some feedback on a screen adaptation of a novel I published a few years ago. Back story: A young woman in an abusive relationship suffers a severe injury...

This piece has been on the burner for two years in various forms. It's a collab, and I believe we're in the end game as far as revisions go (20+ major revisions). Any feedback would be appreciated. I'd consider a script swap if that would be of interest. I do prefer comments to be posted here...

Title: Love Undying Pages: 19 Logline: Five years after his wife's death, a man keeps an appointment with her. Made it to the quarters, and have a short window until semis. They're allowing revisions before the semi-final judges read. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated, if you've got...

LANGUAGE WARNING A little help (this sucks, this doesn't suck too much, etc.) with a small excerpt would be greatly appreciated. It's the last half of Act One of a spec TV Pilot script. A little backstory since you're joining part-way in. Gabriela (Gabby) Santiago (18), imbued with mysterious...

I haven't written too many fight scenes. I'm enclosing a 6-page excerpt, so if anyone could take a look and give me some critique, I'd be extremely grateful. Context: Bad guy Zachariah has murdered young girl Ida's (10 years old) father and kidnapped her. Escaping through a wilderness area, they...

I'd be really appreciative if anyone's willing to take a look at a short, 4-page opening teaser to a pilot for a series. Any feedback would be welcome, but I'd be especially interested to know if it does its job, i.e., teases enough for interest in watching what follows? Muchos gracias...

Would anyone be willing to do a script swap? I've got a tv pilot (approximately 50 pages) that I'd like some basic feedback on and I'd be happy to return the favor. "Gabriela Santiago and the Seven Cities of Gold" Dramedy with elements of magical realism. Logline: A young woman with strange...

Hola, my friends. I'm currently working on a rewrite of my script on the poet Federico Garcia Lorca at the director's request. This is an added scene. Background: Lorca's plays and poetry were heavily influenced by gypsy legends, music and dance from his native Andalucia in Spain. In this...

Very funny parody on vimeo: http://vimeo.com/m/111403592

So my feature script LORCA has generated a lot of interest. I was just contacted by a director who loves the script and wants to be attached. He has an amazing resume, and his music videos and TV ads are world-class. Problem is, I'm not sure what's involved in having a director "attached." I...

Showtime has announced the return of Twin Peaks as a limited series beginning in 2016! Even though it was a bit of a mess in some ways, it proved you didn't have to produce TV episodes so they could be watched in any order, and thus began the golden age of narrative series. Coffee and a...

I now know two filmmakers who've moved from L.A. to Miami. They swear it's a nearly untapped mecca for indie funding. Great weather. Beautiful locations. Lots of money and potential investors who haven't been either sucked dry or hit on 20 times a day, seven days a week, to fund a film...

So I had two scripts make it to the Semifinals of the Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting this year and I just heard from them that I'm NOT one of the 10 Finalists. Anybody here ever make it to the Finals? I know judging can be incredibly subjective, but I figured I had a fair chance...
