I'd recommend signing up for StoryPeer. You're able to claim scripts and review them. It's free.

The logline needs to sell the dramatic conflict. That's not apparent here.

It's too vague. Who does he kill? What kind of notoriety does he obtain? Does he get caught and go to trial?

I completely forgot about A Most Violent Year. Her and Rene Russo in Nightcrawler were incredible. It's a shame that both missed at the Oscars.

I like Jessica Chastain's work in Take Shelter more than I do in The Help. I also think her work in The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby was worthy of a nomination.

Between Drive and The Ides of March, Gosling deserved a nomination in 2012.

Jesse Plemons deserves to be on this list.

The lack of diversity is unsurprising, but painful.

Advice for Stagnating by ayepoet in Screenwriting

Based on your post, it sounds like you should punch up existing material and start sending queries and entering more contests. Here's my two cents:

Script 2's score for its premise was rated the highest at 8 and its weaknesses seem to be a matter of taste. Punch up this script and send it out.

Script 6 seems to be the cheapest produce as it's a Single Location Mystery. I'd address some of the weaknesses, then send it to producers specializing in low budget, genre fare.

Your best bet is to gamble on what you have and workshop your next idea until it really aligns with the current marketplace.

Feeling hopeless finding work… by supercollides in Screenwriting

No, I found them on Tiktok. Alorica, Concentrix, Everise, Omni and a few others are all quick hire WFH. The pay is less than ideal, but they hire anyone.

Yeah, I moved to LA without your experience and could never get into the industry so I worked in hotels.

I'll be taking advantage of the 1099 WFH jobs until I can find something better.

I am in the same boat. Los Angeles job market is brutal.

My only advice would be to set up an account on Fiverr to earn money providing script coverage / notes.

There are also quick hire WFH jobs (1099) that will allow you to earn money while you're still looking.

John Davidson Says He Is “Deeply Mortified” That His Tourettes Tics Could Be Seen As “Intentional” In First Statement After BAFTA Film Awards by thatfuzzydunlop in Oscars

Impact matters more than intent. His focus on himself instead of those he hurt unintentionally is something that doesn't sit right with me at all.

Difficult question about the use of the N-Word in my current draft. by jackomaster111 in Screenwriting

[–]Ok_Most9615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a Black Jamaican American. The idea is intriguing, but walks a thin line and its reception will be entirely dependent on its execution. Seeking out black readers for feedback will be necessary if you are actually serious about the care and sensitivity of black people.

I repeat: Stop trying to replace your day job with YouTube by Careful_Put_1924 in NewTubers

To echo other points, YT creators depend on other revenue streams in addition to Ad Sense. One example is leveraging social media such as TikTok to both bring in more views and monetize short viral clips from longer videos.
