I
had a quick butchers' at Trigger Street Labs,
an online screenwriting resource. The site offers an opportunity to
upload your screenplay to be read and critiqued by other site
members. It also allows filmmakers to upload finished short films by
embedding their Youtube videos onto the site. There was a third
subheading on the opening page for short stories.
It
sounded like just the webpage I was looking for, but alas- each
uploaded screenplay must be no less than 90 pages. At roughly 45,
mine is way too short. Also, uploaded scripts must be converted to
.pdf. Admittedly, I've no idea how to do that.
Regardless,
I was looking for feedback on the structure, the synopsis, so I could
redraft that stage. I wanted to tighten the plot before hammering
into another draft of the script. But Trigger Street Labs doesn't
seem to offer feedback for that stage. It's a very strange site- the
page is designed with large symbols for each section of the site, but
these symbols don't represent links to other pages.
To
the site's credit, the scripts and ideas portrayed in them look good.
There are a few original ideas knocking about here. I'd need more
time to sit and read the full scripts though- giving screenwriting
feedback takes more dedication than reviewing a short story or poem
does. I've received feedback on my synopsis elsewhere, so after I've
rewritten that stage and then rewritten the script itself, I might
throw it up on Trigger Street Labs.
Have
you dabbled in this site? What were your thoughts?
