UK-based film company RISE are hosting a screenwriting contest for full-length features. Entrants do not have to be British, but writers must have the right to work in the UK. Deadline 26 September

I'm busy converting a radio play to a film feature for this. The radio play was a great story (if I do say so myself!) but I think that there was too much plot for 45 minutes. The 90 minutes and the added option of visuals are giving the script much more breathing space. This is my first attempt at a full-length feature :rolleyes:

Hey fevsmith, we have a critique forum in the screenwriters section. But you have to join. There you can post stuff for other's who belong to the forum to critique (if you want). Just post a note in the support forum that you want to join the screenwriter's workshop and Rebecca will get you in. We do it that way so no "roving" eyes will latch onto our stuff and steal it. . .

Thanks Dr Rita, I'll wait until I have a full draft then post. I'm a few weeks off that still. Won't be able to post my animation though as I'm contractually bound.

Might I suggest you post 10-15 pages at at time? That way you will get more reads out of it. Otherwise it will be way too long for one post.
