I once wrote a feature that got too long (190+ pages…) and decided it might be better as a TV show. Do I even need to focus on seperating each page count into an episode? Or just take the first 30-50 and define them into a good pilot without even thinking about the next ones because I basically know everything that happens.
Title: Under The Nose
Genres: Comedy, Crime, Action
Pages: 101
Format: Feature
Logline: When a cop is hit with the fact he wasted his service doing nothing, he takes on a mission to impersonate a feared gangster named “The Mustache”. He’s thrown into a crew of violent criminals - who are actually just as undercover, and just as confused as he is.

It’s my first draft, so any type of feedback would be nice :) but especially on if the action shootouts are visualized clearly.

Not an English native speaker, and was very confident in my English basically until I came across this subreddit. I find myself reading other scripts having to translate something every 2 pages, if not more. I don’t find myself struggling too much when writing myself, but that probably just means I’m using mid to surface level vocabulary. How much does it truly matter in the long run?
I’ve reached the claimax of my feature script. It’s a crime comedy and the end is basically an all out shootout with many confrontations, reveals, and jokes I have set up in my head, but I feel like for each moment in the claimax there are basically 10 different directions to go with each scene, because it’s such a large event, where I basically only have it’s beginning point, end point, and some random points, that some even contradict each other and I need to let go of. If you’ve ever gotten to a similar situation I’d like to hear how you solved it :)
