December 1st Scene Winner Testimonials:
I’d never seen a contest that took only the first moment of a screenplay. The first moments can make or break a script in any competition, but I like that WILDsound looks at the opening on its own. Positive feedback on an unfinished piece can truly motivate a writer to push through to the end.
– LOVELESS by Chris Courtney Martin
Everyone always says the first 10 pages will make or break you. I really liked the idea of a contest that would give feedback on the first part so you can decide if you’re heading in the right direction before you’ve finished an entire script. I was surprised at how thorough and insightful the feedback was. It really helped me to decide what changes I would need to make moving forward.
– GIVE ME A REASON by Theresa Drew
I think the feedback is excellent and I tried to accommodate the suggestions without taking anything away from what I originally submitted to receive the win. I really like the encouragement and the willingness by the reader to share where I can make it even better. Y’all rock.
