Best feedback source?

[nuvuefilms]

As a newbie screenwriter but experienced producer, what is the best way to get productive feedback on a draft... is there a company that is best in breed for coverage?

As an experienced producer, you should have a trusted circle of knowledgeble friends to rely on for feedback -- no???

As I've said recently, Bart (Exthollywoodday, a well known presence on the boards) has given me very helpful notes at a reasonable price.

There's a lot of pro and con to read about in this forum.

With respect to Jeff's position, I think of paying for notes as trading a little money for a lot of time. I tried writer's groups, and I tried blind-submitting. Neither gave me timely feedback, or consistently useful feedback.

Of course, NuVue... if in your travels as a producer you made friends with some good screenwriters, perhaps you have a better circle of talented friends to tap than the average person.

Re: Best feedback source?

thanks for the tips, in my experience-- it is great to have an anonymous source(s) look at the material, before you show it to your circle.

Re: Best feedback source?

You must mean sources who don't know you... personally when I look for a reading company the last thing I want is anonymity.

I like to know who my analyst is, where he/she has worked, etc.

Re: Best feedback source?

Thanks for the two great leads! I'll try Bart, since you all seem to have rave reviews.

Thanks for the plugs, Pardack. You're a good egg.

Re: Best feedback source? Could be Bart!

Bart= Lighting speed turnaround, honest succinct notes, follow up help with clarification, great instincts for character and plot. Moreover, not your typical coverage report-- a more writer-friendly-style service, geared towards helping with subsequent drafts. Recommend.
