Hello, dear Colleagues and Friends:
I am Robert “Bob” Smith. I am ready to exchange outlines and supportive feedback.
My project is “Angels in Gangland” an adaptation of my award winning stage play of the same title. Genre: Gangster Comedy.
Concept: A slain mobster cannot get into the world to come because of his life of crime, his only hope is to return to gangland and persuade his killer to do as he should have done, namely, quit the mob, flip, and enter the Witness Protection Program. THINK: “The Sopranos” meets “It’s a Wonderful Life” with a Jewish twist.
I look forward to partnering.
All the Best,
Bob

Question about the outline. I’m working on my outline for the second round of exchanges… are we supposed to have the beginning/middle/ending in the outline or leave it out? The description after each slug line states what’s in these so it seems redundant.

-
Hi!
Catching up here. My outlines will be ready for feedback in five days. If you could benefit from having the same deadline, let’s exchange then! valeriya.ordinartseva@gmail.com
Concept 1
Horror Thriller
Following her therapist’s advice, a woman asks her “monster-under-the-bed” to come out into the light where she can deal with it… but the monster has other ideas.
Concept 2
Sci-Fi Thriller
Robots became too human and people start a dehumanization program to get rid of them. Can a girl brought up by a robot prove that she isn’t one before she and her robot get killed?
-
Hi Valeriya,
I really like your horror thriller concept! Are you adding humor to it? Can easily be a horror-comedy, but might be better to market it as a horror-thriller, as labeling something a horror-comedy seems harder to sell. Anyway, the setup lends itself to funny moments. Would love to read your outline when ready.
Sincerely,
Farrin
