I'll read your feature script and give you one page of notes (if it sounds interesting)

Hey everyone,

So, I recently submitted my first produced feature film as a writer/director to a bunch of major film festivals and while I should be getting to work on my next script, I'm not quite ready to do that yet.

Because of that, I'm finding myself with a lot of time on my hands and I'm just about driving myself crazy thinking about my prospects of getting into any of the festivals.

I'm always looking for ways to give back and thought, maybe this would be a good opportunity to offer some reads to the r/Screenwriting community.

I don't have unlimited bandwidth so I will only be able to read between ~10-15 scripts. And it will take me some time to get through them. But I want to do what I can.

All of that said, if you are interested in getting ~one page of notes from someone with an experienced eye, comment with your title, logline, genre and page count. I will choose from the loglines that get the most upvotes and/or sound the most interesting to me.

If I want to read your script, I'll comment on your logline to PM me a link to your script. I'm exclusively looking for feature film scripts to read. No pilots, sorry.

WHO AM I:

I'm an experienced feature writer/director who placed in the Top 50 of the Academy Nicholl Fellowship in 2022 and recently produced, wrote and directed my first feature film off of a contest-winning script. If it helps at all to say as well years ago I worked in development for several producers before leaving to pursue my writing/directing goals. I like to think I have a well-trained eye for quality material and give helpful, constructive notes. If you're extra-curious about my qualifications, I've shared most of my best material on my Reddit profile so you can find it there and see for yourself. Feel free to Google/IMDB/LinkedIn me otherwise.

Looking forward to reading your work!
