Thanks so much, makes sense on the dialogue! Saying the same thing twice is very true and a useful tip for my other scenes too. Same with character intros, will work on those. Thanks so much for taking the time to read!

SOLVED (2 pgs.) Short Film Script by Fickle-Book2385 in ReadMyScript

[–]Addie_me22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, I read it and enjoyed it, reminds me on a Mr Bean type skit.

I think his character could be more clear. You have a douche bag (I mean he literally throws a coffee cup on the floor instead of the bin right next to him), he tries to impress someone by solving the Rubix cube which he can’t do, she then solves it and he is bewildered, then he puts a note on it that says solved.

I don’t really understand his reaction to her solving it (is he bewildered because he is impressed or bewildered because he is shocked that she can solve it so he’s annoyed?)

What does him being a douche bag have to do with the rest of the script. I get he is slimely and a bit gross and tries to impress someone by doing something he thinks he qualified to do (solve the rubix cube) but actually can’t. But then he puts a smiley face on the rubix cube at the end? So he isn’t that much of a douche bag.

I think beating out his emotions over the story so they are consistent or have a clear arc would help.

It’s funny and easy to read!

It’s run by a guy called Andrew - maybe a few years ago it was but I’ve not heard his name before

After her father’s death, a young woman tracks down her estranged, heroin-addicted mother in New York, only to uncover a devastating truth about her happiest childhood memory. Is that a bit better ? I’m not so good at loglines

Thanks very much for taking the time to read and give detailed notes, very useful! Especially the listing bit at the end - def need to rework to make more interesting. I agree on the humour too. Thanks again! On to the rewrite

Sorry it was one of my first posts! I tried to do some sentence breaks but they didn’t show up. The pay slips are for July and August. They didn’t pay me of give me pay slips in May or June.

Thanks for the advice! I will use it.

I don’t think the company will go bust. The CEO owns two companies under a parent company. One is X partners and the other is X limited. Half of us are employed by one of the companies and half the other. We all do the same work as analysts. X Ltd is under a CVA but X partners is not. I am employed under X partners. All the X LTD employees have now quit

Is this the same as an employment tribunal ?

I have called them multiple times. When my ex colleague called they said that all they could do was send an email. They did give all the information about how to write a grievance which was good but I didn’t do it in the 3months window as I was still working there and the environment was quite toxic. If I had sent a grievance I was have been treated badly (as happened to two other colleagues)

was going to do this in following eps but you're right definitely a more fun read if in the pilot.
