Question Is there some way you could review my idea? I've just completed my 3rd act, it's my first draft. Before I go to far I'd like to know if I'm "blow'in smoke up my own butt" or not. Could you help?
I really regret being the bearer of bad tidings, but the odds of a first draft screenplay getting optioned and produced are very, very slim -- equivalent to winning the lottery. I could tell from reading your first ten pages, whether you have promise or not, but I can't predict your chances of success. A lot of factors come into play, including elements like your persistence, your ability to promote yourself, where you live (L.A. increases your odds significantly), etc. etc.
