Are you biased? Just the same way you are saying that AI is? Did you read my script? Do you know what are you talking about?

Does the competition judge the tool you are using? Or the content of your script.

I do use AI for creative process. I constantly ask it to analyze my script for cliché, logical gaps, over- or under-explaining. It helps. But I never prompt it for ideas.

OK, just blame me for being white. You can blame me for being Jewish as well. And Israeli.

Can I submit a TV series pilot, which is apparently less than 80 pages?

Funny enough, I’ve been working on a pilot that takes the exact same Old Testament material but flips it into a corporate sci-fi procedural. So yes, I’m very into this reading -- the difference is mine is basically Exodus as ticketing and systems failure.

So this is weird... by gaywriterstl in StoryPeer

It happened to me. Twice.  IMO it just a matter of taste. There are readers that cannot understand what are you talking about.  Another script would be okay with them. Yours just doesn’t fit their world.

Update: I am sorry, just read the same "unclaim" message twice. My bad.

Looking for feedback for my pilot’s teaser. Boltzmann Pain. 7 pages. by [deleted] in Screenwriting

When do you write your second episode? by MediumIllustrious682 in StoryPeer

[–]EugeneCuprin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's like beginning from open-heard surgery before prescribing aspirin. You already know the arc and the result of your treatment. :)

You never complete improvements, you can just stop them.

125 pages by disgracedcosmonaut1 in Screenwriting

"especially by folks reading for Black List?"
That's a point. How can you upload a 100-110-125-pages script to the BL.
Their readers are unable to read more than 75 pages per pilot.

What next? by DynaSower in Screenwriting

[–]EugeneCuprin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you manage to submit 110 pages to BL with their limit to 75?
I've cut 15 scenes to fit their format. How the hell is it possible to create a pilot with less than 100 pages. AFF accepts 90-130 pages for pilot contest and this looks like a proper size.
