We got the trailer version of this screenplay in the First Page Showdown. Now, it’s grown into an entire script. People lovvvvvved this first page. But can it survive the relentless deconstruction of every single word by the Scriptshadow audience?? You would’ve thought QB1 was an actual serial killer who was best friends with Sydney Sweeney from some of those comments. The Scriptshadow faithful does not hold back, that’s for sure.
A quick reminder about how this contest works. This week, the top four vote-getting scripts from the Mega-Showdown last weekend will get their own featured day. Yesterday was QB1. Today is The First Horseman. I will post the first five pages of every script on their day. I want you to read those pages because, come Friday, we’re having the second half of the showdown where you will vote for your favorite of the four finalists.
To be clear, THERE IS NO VOTING TODAY. This is strictly about reading The First Horseman’s first five pages. Also, if you like what you see in the pages, you can download the entire script. So, everybody give a big returning welcome to our first page lothario, Finn Morgan, and his script, The First Horseman!
Hey! I don’t hear you clapping!
