Greetings. I'm writing, or more precisely, I've just started writing a script. I'm here for the first time and I don't know how to proceed. I want to post a few pages of my work and receive advice.
How do I do this?

Welcome to the community, Beridze Kakha. You could post your pages on your profile for members to read. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You could also add your pages to your profile here (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”): www.stage32.com/loglines
You could make a post with one page of your script in the Screenwriting Lounge for feedback.
Stage 32 has script feedback services once you've written the whole script (www.stage32.com/scriptservices).

Beridze Kakha just to add to Maurice's excellent advice, you can submit the first 10 pages for an executive to read thru Stage32 and get feedback. I believe it's $49. I did it recently on a script where I wasn't sure if the opening was working - and I found out it wasn't working! Hahaha! Sobering, but very helpful.

Hi Beridze Kakha . I read through the first few pages that you posted. First impressions were LOTS of parentheticals, I think most veteran spec script writers would say "Use them sparsely/rarely", and your first action line is pretty dense, i.e. could be broken up. Try and eliminate superfluous detail unless integral to the scene. Besides what the lovely people above have stated what I did (unfortunately after writing three scripts of course) was read scripts (of all kinds), blogs, articles, a screenwriting book, etc. The screenplay format is not rocket science, but there can be some key aspects of a script, like verbose action lines, that can scream out "Rookie!" to a potential reader.
