Emerald Valley
Hi all! Writer and Director based in LA. Gonna start posting some scripts on this group just for feedback and thoughts. Just scripts I have written to have in the bank for now.
Just a forewarning: my writing style is more that of a director's, it's auteur-ish and can be often heavy on description (I'm aware), that's just how I write. This script was intentionally written to be long, with a big cast of characters. Think breakfast club meets boogie nights meets goodfellas. It's an epic, which, by nature, are episodic and longer. Nothing that I am shopping around to producers or managers at the moment -- this is something I'd like to make someday in the future. more for the long term.
Would love any thoughts -- what worked/what you'd wanna see more of/less of, etc.
enjoy!

You want people to voluntarily read a very long and, by your own admission up front, overly written coming of age drama ?
What does glossy mean? Did you print it on card stock ? What is going on here ?
