It's fun to be 100% on this side of contests for the first time in 6 years. I am in some good company. I know at least a few of the writers on the list. And as of yesterday, they were still adding to it. I finished in the top 6 last year, but crossing my fingers for a payday this year. ;-)
Interestingly, some young producers are taking my script out to A-list talent. They made me several changes to tone down the edginess to get past actresses' agents. And then the real shocker is that they put my script into the official Warner Bros FD format that the studios use and my 106 page tightly-written script ballooned up to 114. The irony is it's because the tweak in margins created like 450 widows because I had polished the script to fit between the margins. So I am 400 words away from having a tight script again. ;-) Check out the margins on your FD to make sure your script is the length you think it is.
Peace,
Jim
