Tom Holland himself posted this review on his Facebook page. So cool!

31 screenplays. That's very impressive! It would probably take me 31 years to write that many.

John Cowdell

Well it's a great achievement. You should be very proud of yourself.

John Cowdell

I really like the loglines to your scripts. There's a couple I'm going to read for sure. Sounds right up my street.

John Cowdell

I always like to give credit where credit is due. I think it's important for screenwriters to support each other. I've posted my scripts on other sites but had no luck so hopefully that will change he...

John thank you. I wish you well with your endeavors. I'm in the same boat as you... just networking and writing. When Im done with Down Load of the Dead I will let you know. Stay in touch.

John Cowdell

Will do.

John Cowdell

Even though I love the horror genre and writing horrific stories, I'm interested in tackling as many different genres as I can. I don't ever want to be labelled as a one trick pony. I'm a fan of all genres and are influenced by the films I grew up watching, especially those that were produced in the 80s.

Hello, John!

Nardz Belen

Hi, John! With your experience as short films producer, I believe it's high time you went into full-length feature! You will find it more exciting - and who knows - more financially rewarding!

John Cowdell

Thanks for the warm welcome. I've been wanting to break into features for a long time but have had many personal set backs. I've got a couple of feature length scripts I've been working on for a while...

hey John, I love the logline, but when i started reading the script, I gave up 'cause something's wrong with the font you used, it's very difficult to read

John Cowdell

It's a normal courier font. Why was it difficult to read?

John Cowdell

I've uploaded a better version so hopefully you will be able to read it.
