TERROR IN A TEXAS TOWN.
See what happens when you bring a harpoon to a gunfight.
This film pops up out of my memory hole every once in a while. I'm entranced.
excited to get back to work this morning only for my internet to be out 😂 I guess I have no choice but to not be distracted by all the things the internet has to offer #scriptsky
Our Script to Screen winners got an extra mentor session with 1st AD Grayson Alamango Shapiro. With credits including OBSESSION and FALL 2: DEADPOINT, Grayson shared practical insight on prep, HODs, actors, schedules and making the most of limited resources. #scriptsky #scriptsky+ #screenwriting
Reminds me also #scriptsky that I'm up for script swapping at the moment if you're looking for notes, as I'd like so more eyes on...
Just finished a 42-page feedback report on a screenwriter's feature screenplay. How's that for thorough?

Okay #scriptsky I’m looking for some scripts to read (and can give some brief notes if you’d like).
The rules: should have a solid draft (ie something you’d happily send to a contest, no early drafts please), horror, sci-fi, fantasy preferred.
Dm me! First 5 responses get a guaranteed read.
One of these days I'll remember tags...
I feel like there's a horror somewhere in those toenails...

Just to show that pride had no place in this party, I'll throw up a page from my very first script, written back around 1989. FILM AT ELEVEN is what happens if USED CARS had a stupid child with BROADCAST NEWS.
It's ragged as all hell, yet I still love it.
YOU, ME, AND THEN NOTHING (Apocalyptic Dramedy): As Earth barrels toward a world-ending black hole, two estranged siblings return to their childhood home to unpack a lifetime of regrets, trauma, and what it means to forgive when a future no longer exists.
Every few years I throw this back out there. It is timeless.
Shameless Self Promotion time once again, my pretties. Another #FirstPageFriday (or #FunPageFriday if that's how you roll) -- another chance to dazzle the species with some little sample of your brilliance. And always: remember this is intended for human efforts, so no AI.
Of course, the bigger question is, "How does anyone know if their script is excellent or not?"
Easy. Pay for decent script coverage or read tons of screenplays.
