The world is full of so many different kinds of people all with different interests. I think there's a market for pretty much anything! I think you're good! LoL you gotta be you and write what comes naturally. The key/trick is finding the market that will love/enjoy your graphic content lol

Great question. For the documentary I produced/directed with my film partners, there was a scene that was questionable. We did get a few negative comments. If you can live with the comments, I say go for it. It's YOUR story - stay true to your vision!

Hi Kathryn Zizek I think this is a very mindful question, I used to be a sensitivity reader and wanting to know how you can make something risky being in good taste is super important especially when wanting to include your audience rather than alienate, a good source would be checking out our script coverage (https://www.stage32.com/scriptservices/coverage) in order to gauge feedback!

As a paid script reader for studios/networks/prod-cos for many years, "graphic/disturbing" is okay if it is integral to the story.

Depends...don't pitch to Hallmark :)

On a serious note no...and if it's horror, the gorier the better. Check out the latest successes it that field, although must say 70's and 80's were peak of the subject...those films were literally limitless.

Thanks Maurice!
