@christopherharmon Hey Chris! I just emailed you a link to my feedback in case OBS doesn't forward the link. If you don't get it, just let me know. Thanks!

I know I'm in the minority, but I never work on the logline until after the script is complete because even though I start working on the script thinking it’s going to be one thing – it always, ALWAY...

Hey all, You might want to check out Screencraft's Horror screenplay contest. The early bird deadline is April 30th. Good luck!
