Attention Screen-Writers

A title like that makes it sound like I have a unique and interesting opportunity. Well I could try and spin it that way, but it's not, it's me asking for a favour.


Here's the situation. My brother is normally the person I get constructive feedback from when I'm drafting a script. Problem is he's co-writing 'I Don't Bite' with me. That makes him just as useless at looking at the script objectively as I am. 


So here is the favour. I need a volunteer/volunteers to have a read of the script. Preferably from screenwriters. I'm not excluding anyone and I do value the opinion of the rest of you, but screenwriters know the kind of feedback I'm talking about. The sort about structure, ratio of dialogue to visuals, character and all that other stuff that goes beyond, "It's excellent/alright/a bit dull/bollocks". 


I know there are a couple of screenwriters who occasionally cast their eyes over this blog, so if you feel up to it please let me know and I'll furnish you with a copy of 'I Don't Bite' and I promise to return the favour should you require it. 


Don't forget Little Things is showing in the Dark Waters premier in Llangollen on the 19th of July, tickets available here and at Moviebar in Brighton on the 1st of August
