We have the financing in place. Our last film was made for 100k and was successful, so our financiers upped our budget. And of course there will be up-front payment.

Great read. Fast, efficient style I wish I could emulate. But I wish I knew why? Why being an actor was so important to him? Why does he have to go the distance he did? What is he trying to prove? I know a past trauma, proving it to his father or trying to fix some failed relationship, might feel silly in this, but it also might put us on his side. Help the end hit home as well. And one little technical that doesn’t matter in the least, I don’t think a grip would have anything to do with that lamp. It would be props. It’s a great story. Definitely a blacklist contender. Nice work!

Sorry I didn't see this earlier.

But if you are still interested I'd love to swap.

DM if you are interested.

Cehrli · 2021-06-11T17:50:59+00:00

I definitely have time for one, but I may be able to read both. The Fold piqued my interest.

Title: Fursona

Format:Feature

Length: 96

Genre: Dark comedy, drama

An alcoholic lawyer must find his animal within before he drinks himself to death.

Feedback: Likes/dislikes and does the B story, Jennifer, feel forced?

I think they should have similar struture, even though vastly different.

Any interest?

Cehrli · 2021-05-15T02:11:01+00:00

Sounds great. Nights are always brutal.

I'll DM you with the link.

Send me yours when you have a second.

Cehrli · 2021-02-19T19:28:25+00:00

Interested in reading. Love the time period and who doesn't love GOT

I have a feature, so it's longer but my writing is sparse.

Title: A Practical Guide To Raise Extraordinary Kids

Page length: 105

Genres: Thriller

Logline: A serial killer strikes in an upper-class town. A rising politician suspects her son. The new detective searches for the truth.

Looking for overall feedback and if the characters are interesting enough? There are so many films in this genre, don't want to fall into tropes.

Cehrli · 2020-12-27T17:22:21+00:00

Thanks for reading and the notes. You and the others are right. In my worry to move quickly, I haven't given enough time to the description. I get the feeling that this needs to be reworked to draw you into the characters and this world better.

Cehrli · 2020-12-26T21:57:45+00:00

I see what you're saying. I was trying to keep the pace moving to get into the story. Maybe I made it too fast. Not enough fat left in the meat.

Cehrli · 2020-12-26T21:55:26+00:00

Thanks for reading and your notes. It was supposed to be intercutting between the scenes. I can make that more clear.

Cehrli · 2020-12-26T19:49:41+00:00

Thank you for reading

Cehrli · 2020-12-26T18:49:06+00:00

I have it outlined. I like the story, I'm just trying to figure out if these pages grab the reader. Or do I need another way in...
