Hello. My apologies in advance if this is a party foul but do we review screenplays at indietalk? I have completed the 4th draft of a 16 page (short) narrative screenplay which could seriously use the eyes and feedback of a veteran or five. I committed the cardinal sin of showing it to friends and family, and although they have the best of intentions, they tend to not know what they are talking about or what to look for, or sometimes just plain blow smoke up one's...
This is my second script (my first one was so bad, even I started smelling it's stink before I was done - it was a feature meant for sale), which I intend to produce, direct and edit. I've read about the ettiquette of script reviews and how costly they can get, but all of my money has gone into equipment and training (books, DVDs, seminars, etc.). So right now I have nothing to spare for a professional review. I though since we review and critique other stuff on here that this request would not be too much out of turn. So if we review scripts here too, I used Movie Magic 6 to write it but can submit it in a variety of other formats (text file, pdf) that best meet my reviewer(s) needs.
Thank you for your time and help.
