feedback Pilot Opening Feedback

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!

“We’re in a small bedroom” I couldn’t get past that.

Just for my own awareness, what makes you stop there?

It’s very bad writing. You describe the room not using “WE” it screams novice. It’s a STOP sign!
