So, I'm in a screenwriting class, and I'm going to be adapting the short story "The Sculptor's Funeral" by Willa Cather.

I'm wondering if these forums would be good for feedback, or if I should go to a screenwriters forum. I don't think so, but I wanted to check before posting a thread for my "pitch".

Thanks!

I'd go to a screenwriters forum.

If you can find one!

You could ask if anyone would be willing to look at and give feedback on your script without you posting any of it on the forum.

I just don't think script format works very well with the 13-line limit, but you can certainly ask for volunteers.

It was more like a "pitch" that summarizes the plot points, but I'll check out the link. Thanks guys!

Just as we can do queries and summaries here, I would think we could do pitches and treatments. We could certainly discuss ideas and their execution without risking electronic rights.
