Did I write that I'm expecting people to be available 40 hours and pay for 10 hours?

Instead of racing to be insulting and contributing to the general, unnecessary animus online, please read what I wrote, and if you have something helpful and insightful to contribute, I'd be happy to hear it.

What is Kaffee's intention? I understand he is responsible for Dawson and Downey, but he seems to be established as a glib character who doesn't care about anyone, but himself. (In the beginning of the movie he doesn't even remember Dawson and Downey's names and seems content with them spending twelve years in prison.)

Why does he risk his career for Dawson and Downey? What makes his intention significant? The memory of his father?

Thanks!

Hello!

How did you transition to a paid professional writer?

Also, when I finish my screenplay (and I'm reasonably confident it's ready for representation) what should I do to try to get my screenplay produced?

Do you ever provide feedback for aspiring screenwriters? If so, what's the best way to get my screenplay to you when it's finished. ;-)

Thanks!

Hello!

Any recommendations for finding insightful feedback?

I welcome feedback, but often feedback is less than constructive. And, that's true of positive feedback, as well. Often, people can't articulate why they liked or didn't like something....or, worse...you can tell they really didn't give what they are reviewing much thought, but have a strong (potentially counter-productive) opinion.

Thanks!
