breakinglight11 | Shaping up the Tailor screenplay (Reply)

At Caucasian Chalk Circle in Chelsea, waiting for the run to start, and taking a minute to think about what I need to do this week. My teacher recommended a screenplay contest that is worth entering that has a submission due date of the 15th. I'd like to enter the Tailor screenplay, but it's not ready in its current state. According to the last feedback I got, the story is fairly solid but it needs some restructuring. My reader said my scenes need to be shorter but that there should be more of them; in screenwriting a two-hour script needs about one hundred and fifty and should be mostly no longer than four pages each. I'm not sure how to do this, though. I'm currently looking for a resource to help me edit things down, but haven't found one yet. If you know of any that specifically address this, feel free to send it my way. I need to get moving on this soon since the due date is so close. I'm sure my chances of winning this contest are slim, but it's worth a try, and at least it will motivate me to get my script in the best possible shape.
