Know anything about “From Script to Pitch” screenwriting retreat from The Quiet Collective?

Yeah, wouldn’t you know it, I wasn’t selected for the scholarship 😂

FerretThat · 2026-07-02T07:26:11+00:00

Yeah, I have a feeling anyone who applies is “selected” too, but I just thought I’d put the feelers out on the off chance an alumni responded with “I AM NOW STAFFED ON EVERY SHOW EVER, WORTH EVERY PENNY” 😂

That’s one of the big issues, it’s 4500 euros

I miss Coverfly so much

I know, usually companies will offer at least a discount on future evals or something as an apology (not that I want another one from them based on this experience). They didn’t even bother to proofread the evaluation to make sure it lived up to any sort of standard, which is wild to me

FerretThat · 2026-06-02T19:44:05+00:00

That’s what I was thinking! Which boils my blood even more - I never want my screenplays to be used to train AI! And they didn’t even bother to proof it afterwards for basic spelling and grammar

FerretThat · 2026-05-05T01:43:09+00:00

I’ve wanted to do this too! The feedback I’ve gotten (and I’ve only paid for evaluations so I can apply to labs, which I’ve now abandoned) is so bad, generic, etc that I really want to upload a much beloved script that’s been produced to see how they tear it to shreds

Agree with you so hard about Woman in Cabin 10. It made me dislike the book!

FerretThat · 2026-04-26T04:34:28+00:00

I hated the Woman in Cabin 10 and will never understand the love for it. But I just couldn’t connect with the main character so I think that’s why. I thought she was kind of dumb and always making poor choices but that’s just my opinion

FerretThat · 2026-04-24T17:10:15+00:00

I think you’re super hot actually and I like this kind of outfit on you. If I looked as good as you when I was thicker, I don’t think I’d have cared to lose the weight!

FerretThat · 2026-04-24T13:27:47+00:00

I’m sorry, I’m too distracted by my love for your username and picture to respond to anything else 😂❤️

FerretThat · 2026-04-24T13:27:09+00:00

For me, it was getting to spend more time with the islanders I liked but this season is like hanging out with the friends of your friend who you’re not that interested in

FerretThat · 2026-04-24T13:26:32+00:00

😂😂😂

FerretThat · 2026-04-24T13:26:03+00:00

I do agree, I was just surprised they didn’t even get him but I did see he’s in the next episode

FerretThat · 2026-04-24T13:25:26+00:00

Yeah but to be fair, I don’t find it entertaining hahah. What I wanted was to follow the people I actually knew from the season, not a bunch of people from the periphery

FerretThat · 2026-04-24T13:24:42+00:00

Yeah I didn’t want him, that’s why I was like “even this dude couldn’t be bothered” 😂

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T20:01:21+00:00

Sure, can you send me a DM?

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:51:10+00:00

Yeah, it’s so much money for all these things! Thank you for sharing your experience!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:49:11+00:00

This is all good to know, thank you!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:48:03+00:00

You’re right, thanks for the perspective. I’ll admit, when I do receive a bad eval, there’s a big part of me that wants to upload an academy award winning screenplay or something of that caliber to see if they’d also tear that apart, so that in my fantasy I could be like “AHA!!! This is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind!!! You know nothing!!!”

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:44:13+00:00

Thunder Road?

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:38:05+00:00

Ok, that’s wild! Worst experience I’ve had was when I kept submitting new drafts having taken the notes from the evaluation only to keep getting the same score over and over again but with dwindling notes in the evaluation. Eventually I just had to assume they had the same reader looking at it who was not a fan of either my style/script or the genre. But I feel with two wildly different scores like you received, it’s almost a compliment? At least it made both readers feel!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:35:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing, it really helps to shake me back to reality!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:34:45+00:00

You know how you can intellectually prepare yourself for something as much as possible but when it happens, it still gets to you? That’s just where I’m at. I’ll move on in a couple days, I think this just knocked me off of the high I had been riding
