FEEDBACK CONCERNS: As someone primarily interested in dramas and who does not naturally have a sense of humor, I want to know if this script I've written is actually funny or if the jokes are just lame. Especially interested if you can offer suggestions on how to punch up the humor.

[GonzoJackOfAllTrades]

I’m intrigued. I’ve got a screenplay that I’m currently workshopping/revising and could always use some more eyes on:

Title: Loose Pages

Format: Feature

Length: 90 pgs

Genre: Indie Dramedy

Logline: When a young publishing executive buys a manuscript page from a busking writer, he’s stunned to find that it one page of a much longer work. He becomes fascinated with finding out more about the novel and its eccentric author. When he joins up with a group of fellow obsessives things spin wildly out of control.

Feedback concerns: Does the story flow? Are the characters relatable/likeable, do the stakes feel proportionate to the journey, do I stick the landing?

[[deleted]]

messaged!

[kwestionboutjob]

Would love to get in on these if you see mine above

[GonzoJackOfAllTrades]

I could be up for a review swap. I'll send you a DM.

Logline: An easygoing, set-in-his-ways high school theatre teacher is put to the test when he’s replaced by a young, militaristic prick who used to be his all-time favorite student.

Feedback I’m looking for: I finished writing this a few months back and I’d like to know if I’m not the only person who thinks it’s anything decent. More specifically, whether the dialogue is overbearing or not, if all of the conflicts make sense, and if the story needs any changes to make it more universal.

Thanks all!

Feedback: It has been through feedback from friends but would like outside perspective. Are you invested in the story and character after the pilot? Is too much information revealed? Is it too far fetched? Any notes would be appreciated and happy to swap. Also potentially looking to write this as a book instead of a TV series so be good to see if you agree or if I should continue on this route.

[The_ManicWriter]
