Well, that’s it! We spent a couple more hours beefing up some scenes, fixing some final typos, and tweaking the formatting in Final Draft to bring us in at a perfect 100 pages.
As always, we’ll continually refine the text… we’d like to keep looking closely at the dialogue and left margin, to assure we’ve got just the right verb here, just the perfect turn of phrase there… but it’s braces on a pretty smile… tiny incremental adjustments.
So we can officially release the logline and synopsis… we’ve given the script its own page here, and we’ve created a Facebook page for it as well.
Thanks to our readers for all the great feedback and encouragement. Now we’re off to find some good horror screenplay competitions, get it in front of a few good people in Hollywood, and find a producer who wants a fun, classic horror story with a unique twist — The Descent meets The Birds.
Total man hours: 115 (chip) + 105 (sean) = 220

Total calendar time (since we couldn’t get together as often or for as long as we’d have liked): 11 weeks
