Means: "Whatever is meant to happen to you, will happen to you"!
Hello all,
I just wanted to pass on that I recently joined Stage 32 at the advice of a friend. I had written a dramatic screenplay some 20 years ago, put it away while working in the factual space, then with some encouragement brought it back to life with a few more drafts. I felt good about the work, but not qualified to judge it. Therefore, I selected Victoria Davis to read my first 10 pages. Her credentials as a script editor and development executive appeared to demonstrate the right sensibilities for the story. And if the beginning of the script was terrible, no point getting notes on 120 pages. ;)
I could not be more pleased! Not only did Victoria read the whole script, but she gave insightful observations, raised thoughtful questions, and gave detailed suggestions that can only improve the next draft(s). She was also kind enough to ask for a meeting to blue-sky possible resolutions to her notes, which we recently did. I now feel confident to take them on before shopping the property.
I just wanted to publicly acknowledge Victoria's work and let you know that regardless of the outcome of my script, I have had a helluva Stage 32 experience. You could do no wrong if Victoria is available.
Slainté,
Steven

Welcome to the community, Steven R Mitchell. Glad you were able to get great insight and suggestions from Victoria to help your script!
"And if the beginning of the script was terrible, no point getting notes on 120 pages." You're right. Gotta have the right foundation. I'll keep Victoria in mind for a 10-page review. Thanks.

Thanks for the welcoming Maurice. For the record: I'm not suggesting avoiding the full script consultation. I wasn't confident enough having never entered into a platform like this. I may approach things differently next time.

You're welcome, Steven R Mitchell. Oh yeah, I understand ("I'm not suggesting avoiding the full script consultation"). The 10-page reviews and the full reviews on Stage 32 are great. The best service I bought on here was the Feature Script Read/30-minute Talk with Executive (www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting/Stage-32-Feature-Script-Read-30-min...).
