The Hunter short

You have a nice short but it feels a little bit like two stories stapled next to each other and don't quite feel conjoined. Its partially because the first scene goes on for 3 and a half pages. You need to trim that down 1 page. Fortunately all you really have to do is trim down some of the descriptions, I left some additional notes to help with that. So Michael doesn't really have an arc just yet in your short. He's depressed, then he's with friends and then he's fighting the Hunter. I'm not quite sure what his arc is supposed to be just yet, but if you have him start off a pacifist and then have him fight the hunter it might work better. So far your dialogue is a little too on the nose with the worry woods and hunter. I think you should just allude more to something being wrong with the place but not get into detail about what's wrong with it. Mentioning people vanishing, feeling like being watched, things like that work well because it leaves things up to the reader and audiences imagination. So if you trim down your descriptions some your 9 page script will probably end up a little over 6 pages and you'll have more room to play with the camping section of the story. An extra page and a half or so just of the forest section will add some more suspense and mood to what you already have. I don't think you're too far away from having a good solid draft though. Cleaning up the description, playing with the dialogue in a few areas.
