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.

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.
