I am ready to exchange outlines. Whoever completes their outline next, please message me with your email address. Thank you!

Just FYI, today I completed the first (very) rough draft of the screenplay based on the outline I posted. When we finally exchange outlines, I would be happy to share the script with you if you're interested. The script is thin right now at 74 pages, but I'm working on a new scene and beefing up some others. I'm still aiming for 90 pages, maybe just a little less.

The screenplay is now 84 pages. It might end up just a page or two longer with subsequent drafts, but it has a complete story arc now and I don’t want to pad it just for the sake of hitting that “perfect” 90 page mark. There are a lot of slow burn moments in the script as the characters turn desperate and paranoid, so it probably times out at 90 minutes just as it is.

After multiple drafts, the screenplay is now 86 pages. Feedback on it would be appreciated, but I’m considering it just about complete. Please let me know if you’re interested in reading and review it.
Thank you.
