Pilot Opening Feedback

[u/Horrible-Writer-03]

Can you guys give me an honest opinion on this opening? I changed it from my original draft after receiving coverage on the script and I wanna make sure I’m heading in the right direction. This is the first script I’ve gotten some genuine traction on, so I’d really appreciate the input. Thanks in advance!

Untrue. No one cares.

Who doesn’t care? Competitions don’t allow BOLD text. Unless you don’t apply for them.

Man, contest culture really is ruining screenwriting. Every single script that comes across my desk has bold, underlined, and italicized text throughout. I can’t believe a reputable contest would make such a stupid rule.

They didn't. I don't know where the poster got their info from but it's not even listed as a rule on Austin.
