Screenwriting : New shorts added to my profile page by Anthony Cawood

The technology wants to see her fail? For real? Is that sci fi? :-)

Yep it's Sci-fi, I like near future tales with 'awkward' technology.

Why are all of your protags female? Are you sexist?? ;)

They were all male in last few, balancing it up :-)

You have a really enjoyable screenwriting style, though some of your genres are just not my cup of tea. I left comments on your page. I went back to some of your older stuff, and I really liked "Graft"! What a great ending!

@Ardua - many thanks for taking a look at my shorts, really appreciate you taking the time and having a look at even those that weren't to your normal genre tastes (mine do tend to run a little black). Graft - thanks, glad it worked so well for you, a lot of people have given it good feedback, unfortunately not the cheapest one to film ;-) Anthony

You know, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "The X-Files" both had some pretty cheap special effects when they launched!

So a lot of your scripts play out pretty gruesome, Anthony? Okay, I'm going to have to read them all! Tomorrow though. Most of my script are the same. Well, not really the ones that I posted on here. But I can relate.

@Jean-Pierre, out of the three mentioned, 3 are dark, and two of them have their gruesome moments... the other is a Love story (L Equation), nothing gruesome there ;-)

@Alle - wasn't really asking for a logline review, but thanks anyway. Glitch - yes the techology, dont agree re extreme measures, her measures are extreme and I like the term. L Equation, you are being obtuse 'change the face of humanity' is a perfectly reasonable phrase, unrelated to faces... would you level the same at 'wipe off the face of the earth'? Disruption, there's no HE in the logline, her life starts to unravel is a little vague, perhaps, but hopefully en enticement to read the short script though. You don't become god through the achievement of salvation. Not in my universe anyway. Stuffed - hmm, i was trying to vary from a more normal 'under the stress', but anyone who has suffered cheating may consider it a weight - may re-look at. Mission to even the score... well people often experience growth after undertaking missions, but if its the even the score piece, no you may be correct, but who says my character, hell bent on revenge, has to grow? Anyway enough on loglines, don't think there's any producers looking here,, but my short scripts themselves are up to read though. Alle, have you put anymore of yours up yet?

For what it's worth mate I read the one with the bird under the bed. I really like it. Just like some of the birds on here, off their heads, and need a good bunk up.

Thanks Tony, does your opinion change if I reveal I'm a West Ham fan? ;-)

Biggest load of shit I've ever read

LOL

Haha wtf I thought you being a LEEDS fan was bad enough, where did it all go wrong?

Tony - From Leeds but support Hammers, my Dad was mortified when I chose my own team at 9 years old, was the 70s and all Leeds did was kick the cr*p out of opponents...

@Damien - thanks for taking a read and glad you liked.

Pmsl that's when it was a mans game, and you chose to support a soft southern team. No wonder your dad was mortified. Lol do you get to go much?

@Tony - Try and get to two or three a season down there, and the occasional away game up here. @Damien, no not read the screenplay but have seen the film, great, my Dad hates it though and the name Clough ;-)

@Damian Anfield! Poor girl. What sort of dad does that to hes child. Haha, better than chelsea tho. Lol

Anthony: Rather liked "Bump in the Night" sir. Well done!

Hahahahaha blimey I bet your wife was relived it was a girl.

@Anthony I can't seem to find where your shorts are now

@Tony - https://www.stage32.com/profile/179396/scripts_screenplays @Phillip - many thanks, film maker in South Africa has optioned that one. @Chris - many thanks, glad you liked my current fave.

@CJ - thanks for the support, I didn't want to humble-brag and say that, but yes... I don't have any issues (normally) with my loglines garnering reads and getting the shorts sold/optioned. @Alle - I hadn't meant to engage in a debate, I ws merely explaining my thoughts on your feedback. Remember, I didn't actually ask for views on my loglines in the first place. I think you are bringing too much of your own experience and slightly odd views to the party here, you comment re 'face of the earth' is nothing more then intentionally obtuse! And sorry I meant real producers, not someone vanity producing their own scripts. I did ask for views on the scripts themselves, so thanks to all that read that bit of my post and have commented on the scripts. I really appreciate the reads and support.

Anthony: Alle has left her mark on this thread; and I believe in the long run, it's been more fun because of it.

@Phillip - well things always get lively! @John - I think that's a compliment ;-)

Thanks to all who read my scripts, left feedback and sent me messages... much appreciated.
