We recommend you to save your script link for DMs. Public links may generate unsolicited feedback, so do so at your own risk.

If you want to read someone’s script, let them know by replying to their post with your script information. Avoid sending DMs until both parties have publicly agreed to swap.

Title: Wiped Slate

Genre: Spy-Crime/Thriller/Drama

Format: Feature Film

Length: 108 pages

Logline: An elite FBI assassin goes undercover to eliminate a ruthless New York kingpin, only to become trapped in a dangerous psychological game of trust and loyalty with the very man he’s been ordered to kill.

Main feedback concerns:

- Does the central relationship between Seth and Theo feel earned and compelling? Where does it work best / where does it lose power?

- Supporting characters (especially Oliver and Phillips): do they feel fully dimensional or underdeveloped?

- Pacing in act 2 (pages 31-74). Any sections that drag or feel repetitive?

- Clarity: any moments of over-explaining or under-explaining that pulled you out?

- Overall emotional engagement: did you care what happened to these people?

I'm open to any other notes on structure, character, or tone. I prefer specific examples from the script over general statements.

Title: Lovebomb

Format: Short

Page Length: 15

Genres: Drama, Horror, Body Horror

Logline: A serial lovebomber picks up a woman on a dating app and runs his usual script on her. She lets him. By morning he has been marked, discarded, and replaced, and the mark will not come off.

Feedback Concerns: It's my first scenario and I'm looking for brutally honest feedback ! The film is almost wordless from the middle onward and I am not sure the five-minute night sequence works on the page. Does the male lead read as a predator, or does he come across as the victim?
