I received a First Ten Pages Review from Thomas Pemberton (Development Executive, Mind's Eye Entertainment) via Stage 32, which gave me several key insights into my feature screenplay's set up. I chose Thomas because of his preference for Thrillers, Suspense, Action & Sci-Fi (my screenplay combines these genres) and his experience with international co-productions (I'm an Australian). __Having just completed a rewrite of my Thriller, Shadow Men, I wanted to know if I had established the mystery in a compelling way, and the feedback confirmed what I was hoping, but also suggested several ways to improve it by holding back on a certain reveal. A scorecard also ranked the First Scene, Set Up of Character(s), Set Up of World, Clarity of Tone, Originality of Concept, and Strength of Voice. __I recommend this inexpensive service as a way to not only test your first ten pages, but also help you decide which executive to go with when you're ready for development notes, consulting or mentoring services. I look forward to sending the completed draft to Thomas for the Feature Script Read and Talk, soon.
