If you were a producer and read this Logline.... would you request the script? Please advise. It's been a struggle. Thank you. After her only child was abducted and found murdered, a distraught single parent discovers that the child she buried was not her own.

Expand commentSylvia got hurt by the original salvo of comments... I was not aware of that at all. Sylvia, my apologies if I overstepped the line in suggesting what I did. I meant no offence. Janet. Bob, I hope you are right in what you say... would prefer to think she was quite happy with the input. I do wish she herself had said something if she had been hurt by it all.

Expand commentIt is really good for a writer to get constructive criticism from those who have sold scripts, and those who have written several but haven't sold yet. I feel we need to stick up for each other here, as much as we can. From everything I have heard and read, this is a very competitive business . No critique is complete without positive and negative elements. Thanks.

Expand commentI can appreciate what you are saying re: competitive. Guess I am on a different page, anxiously thinking about all the scripts of any kind, that may compete with each other for a script reader's attention . But someday, some of the writers here may be in competition for the same producer's attention.

Expand commentMary – As a writer and small time producer, I approach each filmmaking project as a complex interactive mix of many participants and each is as valuable as the others. To my way of thinking, filmmaking is a collaborative process - not a competitive process. There is no room on my sets for counterproductive competitive manners. If you bring a personal subterfuge to one of my sets – you'll be invited to just go somewhere else (take your ego with you.) We are a team – all for one and one for all.

Expand commentDoug, thanks for your comment. I do appreciate that making a movie should be a team approach, otherwise, nothing really good could get done. I think there is a misunderstanding of what I was tying to express here. What I was addressing was what screenwriters would have to deal with before their work is even being considered by a producer. All my prior work in the medical field has been team oriented. One cant save a life on a code by one's self. I just don't like to see less than kind remarks on here about a screenwriter (scroll up) who is honestly asking for feedback from peers. I come from many years in a work ethic where people must be supportive to each other, in order to go home at night and be able to sleep. Thanks for reading this.
