As some of you know, I decided to hire a script analysts to look over one of my favorite screenplays. I have gotten a lot of feedback from other people over the last two years along with some words of encouragement. However, it was time to seek the opinion of someone in the movie industry. I accidentally came upon a service called NoBullscript, and a gentleman by the name of Daniel Manus, as I was reading articles about screenwriting. His writing is blunt and straight to the point. Now, even though I don’t take criticism well, I’ve discovered that I hate it when people skipitty doo around the truth. So I took a chance and broke open my piggy bank and hired him. In addition to the four pages of notes I already received from Danny, I will have the opportunity to visit with him on the phone this coming Thursday. Danny already verified that I have talent and gave me a lot of things to think about from a production standpoint. I’m pretty sure I’ll be sending him one of my other screenplays to review.
On a personal note. The nightmare of my stolen documentary feature has a comical twist that I must share. Neither the studio owner or the douche bag thought they needed a writer and the last post on the web site was proof of that. They do, however, desperately need an editor! Oh yea, and a spell checker! And a grammar checker… LMAO.
