your opinion of slamdance?

film festivals aren't what they used to be anymore. In general just go to whatever ones you can get into, but they do not necessarily pick films that help the film industry, they pick films that help their festival cause it's business. Slamdance is no sundance, but get in where you fit in.

oh, and one last thing... readers I have talked to HATE too much description in the first 3 pages.
yes. yes.

the motto I have heard is

"lots of white on the page"

when readers see large chunks of description they skim, or worse, put the script down ... when I was suggesting sneaking in Novelstic detail I in no way meant to imply that one should right a lot.

The descriptions should be terse and punchy and succint, as you pointed out.
