Q4 maybe it’s not so easy but if there was a way for the forum and the website to be one and the same it would be easier to navigate. Sometimes you must log in twice.

Q1(Other) - Open Writing Assignments

Q3/Q4 - Peer Feedback Portal/Script Swap

The competitions are great for discovering screenwriting, but I’d like to see in the future development programmes, as Sundance and TIFF do. Where new or unsigned screenwriters are mentored, the script written during the programme is optioned, and the writers who complete the programme are given a development and first look deal.

I.E. “This writer has successfully completed our mentoring programmme, we have optioned the script written and we have signed them to a three-year exclusivity and development deal for any future deals. They’re currently meeting with our producers about future works and will announce their next work”. Or something.

For Q4 a minor gripe, I would love a homepage with all the titles and loglines and a way to see if I’ve voted for them or not yet. The page keeps moving every time you revisit it so it’s difficult to track progress.

Thanks for the feedback guys. This will all be relayed to the web development side. Any further comments are welcome and will be taken into consideration!
