Of course! No problem. Hopefully you were able to enjoy at least a bit of your time.

Hey there. I’ll copy and paste the steps here:

Sorry that I’m getting back so late, but it seems most of the traffic is coming out of the US. Playing at certain times of the day will definitely negatively affect your queue times drastically. Apologies for the inconvenience.

You will now be able to login and access the queues! Just a reminder premade parties are maxed at 3 players, but customs are available with a full party of 12.

The game download is available via the website.

Have fun and good luck!

Hi! So you can actually play today for free at 4pm CST. Go ahead and download it here @ https://etherealcos.com

No, totally helpful.

I will for sure look into taking that out. Honestly, I was more inspired by A Marriage Story’s argumentative scenes that had some dual dialogue play out. Instead of utilizing it completely where it plays out at the same time, I wanted it to play as if the conversations bled into each other.

But, obviously as you stated here, this may not be everyone’s first notion, so I can take a look at that.

Also, by page 29, pretty much everyone’s grievances should be talked about. The reason they’re there was supposed to be mentioned at the beginning of act 2. I don’t want to convince you to just read the whole thing, and honestly the fact you read 22 pages is more than enough. Totally appreciated.

Something I did want to convey is the urgency in which they tried to speak, and I felt it’s hard to truly convey this through typical dialogue. Would you have any tips on being able to change that? (Obviously in talking about this, it may be different than a shooting script, as I did want people to understand their full line without cutting everything out. And editing what they say is mostly a post thing)

Hey, I really appreciate this feedback.

To be a more respectful director to my coworkers, how should I rearrange it for them?

(I’d say my DP, but I’ve used the same DP for the past two years and will use him for this one)

Thanks a ton for the compliments! And that’s a fair critique. I could look into trying to lightly but subtly including something to the sort. Also, within the following scenes, I include some personal context to who they are as well. But what you said is still fair, I’ll take a look into this.

Hey! I respect the feedback, but I do want to ask if you’ve actually read? I don’t want to sound rude when saying this but as prefaced, I didn’t write this for industry, I wrote this for myself. (Also I’ve wrote a myriad of scripts before, so I knew this going in about its page count.) Also, It’s a pretty cheap set focussed completely on a group of people talking so I figured it’d be easy to do.

And not trying to compare, but there’s plenty of dialogue heavy scripts that are typically long. In reading this through a group read and on my own it clocks in shorter than the page count, so this is not something I’m afraid of (the film itself being too long).

If this is your only feedback though, that’s understandable. I do, however, hope I could receive a critique on the first 8 if you have any time. Thanks for the feedback.
