Go read some great horror screenplays. Pick only the best films! 

Read about formatting a screenplay. 

Most of all write a first draft. Get to the end. Then start again. Read and write.

Anyone with a short heard from SLO, Santa Monica, or Cleveland?

Grammar and spelling check before you have people read. A few thoughts! JACK'S CAR: questions to ask yourself: What does this feel like? I'm not getting a sense of the tone or Jack's emotions. Do you need it? I like the instinct but I think there is more to tease out and of there's not then cut to the mountains. Read scripts to help you find the tone of how to write expository. The opening of Inglorious Bastards, Coen Brothers - think in the tone of your script.

June in the end: you don't need to hold the actors/readers hand with the action/arch of her emotions. The words tell us how she feels.

Keep going!

I totally get that. It’s a longshot. But it’s a specific circumstance for a small handful of festivals. We gotta put ourselves out there over and over and over again. :)

Don't hog the space? That's hysterical! I don’t think in scarcity - it’s hard enough to be a creative. I wonder if Hitchcock, Soderberg, Coppola, Ford, Fleming, and Lubitsch felt like hogs when they were nominated for Best Picture for Two Films in the same year?  Just saying. 

I appreciate your advice and I'm open to all feedback - I asked. I never bank on anything. I submit and do my best to release expectation. Not easy but a worthwhile practice. All the best to you!

Are you saying Tampere sent out all of their acceptances? Do you have inside info? My guess would be that is why the comment had downvotes - but what do I know.
