Hey Mark, any update on whether the trend has been bucked?
I haven't heard anything so far but I don't think they've announced anything yet. My entry has just scored an 11 on the Black List* so I expect it will win.
*this is not true.
For more of my scripts, stories, produced movies and the ocassional blog, check out my new website. CLICK
Just been informed I haven't managed to qualify again, so I haven't managed to break the trend , I'm sorry to say.
The feature I entered qualified for Page, Austin , won Euroscript's 2021 screenplay competition and is in the top 7% of discoverable features on Coverfly, yet the score I received from Shore Scripts was quite low. I really don't know what I need to do to crack that particular nut, but I'll keep on trying!
