Hi,

I make notes per page as I read through and then do a general review after I've read the script, so please note that the Page-by-page notes are first impressions as if I'm reading/watching for the first times.

It's clear that you are a seasoned writer and it's a very 'clean' script as far as format and grammar and spelling goes. Forgive me for nitpicking :-)

Your descriptions and action are beautifully written, but your dialogue tend...
