There were two reasons I had re-submitted my script of Dig Down to the Santa Barbara Screenplay Competition to get feedback on the feedback I’d already gotten. The first was that I was familiar not only with their scoring system, but also the level of notes that I would get to give context to their judgment. I would be able to see where they were coming from with their scoring, and I would be able to compare this to the score I’d previously gotten the first time I entered their contest.
The second reason I chose them was because the deadline for their upcoming competition was fast approaching. This meant I wouldn’t have to wait long to get their critique.
Below is how the second draft I submitted fared:
Scores:
Concept/Originality (8)
Structure (8)
Plot (8)
Pacing (8)
Characters (7)
Dialogue (6)
Tone (8)
Conflict (8)
Emotional Response/Investment (6)
Marketplace Potential (8)
There were notes that went along with these scores, which I will share the contents of the feedback next time.
