fcc filmscouting Looks good but I would have him wake up 24hr later with the hole apartment empty, they came in with a moving van and took everything,left him on the floor waking up cold !
March 20, 2010Michelle Cutler A nice set-up but that's all it is at this stage. The synopsis covers the first 15 minutes of a movie... and then what happens? I'd like to know, but you need to know first.
March 12, 2010Good idea though!
Cody Snyder ' We've designed the pitch submission process to focus on ideas at an early stage - with the scene sample serving as more of a demonstration of your writing abilities rather than a sample from a screenplay. We want to remove the burden of having to write an entire feature-length script in order to submit to this program - hopefully you'll come up with great ideas and quickly put a scene together without investing too much time and energy. If it's a great idea, we'll have more than enough time and resources to continue to develop the concept.'
March 13, 2010That's directly from Lionsgate.
I take it you didn't know about this before you gave me a 2 star rating?
I appreciate your comments, but I did exactly what they wanted.
Good luck Michelle!

Don Saparina This could totally work, if given the proper treatment and cast. I hope Adam gets his stuff back. ;)
March 12, 2010Best of luck, Cody.

The Good Luck Guy! GOOD LUCK!
March 8, 2010William Stephens GOOD LUCK, it's almost over! :-)
March 8, 2010Josh McKenzie While I'd have to agree that the sample was missing the necessary amount of comedy that one might expect, I felt that the last page was the best. That and the addition of the info I got from the log-line and synopsis, I can see where the comedic moments will definitely come into play. If it goes where I think it will go, then I believe you are on to something.
March 7, 2010Best of luck in the contest, Cody! :-)
Rebecca Wallace I really like the concept. It will make a wonderful peice. the overall humor of the story is hard to see but has potential for the funny one liners and things like that. Very good work =)
March 5, 2010Robert Dobbins Well, since I've made some people cry, and I'm a bad-guy on this site already, I guess I'll show everyone my kind side and throw someone a bone. Congratulations Cody, you are today's lucky winner of the "Once-a-day, pick a pitch to give a good review to" award. *confetti, ribbons and glitter sprinkle down upon Cody, as he smiles while laughing profusely*.
March 5, 2010Tune in everyday folks to see who the next winner will be. Remember, it could be you. *wink*
Mei-ling Mee Mee likes. I really like the brothers. Cops were kind of stupid, but i think you wanted them to be. :)
March 4, 2010Good work and good luck Cody.
Jack Johnson Cody, I think this is a very funny piece. The concept and the writing are strong, and this sample possesses a certain readability that I very much appreciate.
March 3, 2010Despite the stock nature of officers #1 and #2, you have written characters that live up to, or exceed our expectations for these character types. I like Adam, but am worried about his neurosis, as I don't want his obsession over his computer, work, etc. to keep him from being a compelling, sympathetic character. I want to be on Adam's team, not worry whether or not he's going to go all Travis Bickle us.
Another minor point.....there's something about the blocking/progression of events in this scene that throws me. Why after we leave Adam's apartment do we find ourselves back in his apartment with the officers? I think it's funny, and works in terms of comedic timing (and it's a cute tag on the scene), but I just can't understand why after leaving their apartment they would march right back in. This is such a nit-picky point it's pretty irrelevant. The overall writing is so funny that such issues are really just kinda meh........... Great job
