A new partnership with Circalit
We’re delighted to be embarking on a relationship with Circalit, a new social networking site for writers that’s making waves in the screenwriting community. A revolutionary free web service, Circalit offers writers the opportunity to post their screenplays on line in order to get peer review. Ultimately as the site grows this will develop and increasingly become a showcase for writers who want to get their work in front of industry professionals. Here at The Script Factory, we’re always on the hunt for ways for writers to get constructive feedback on their work and have the chance to become part of a network of fellow writers, agents and producers, so we’re pleased to be backing this new project. With that in mind, we’ll be giving a Script Factory Feedback Report to the top rated script on the Circalit site each month.

As a result of some string-pulling from distributor’s Optimum, The Script Factory was delighted to stage a preview of the film late last summer together with on-stage conversation with Bigelow and Boal. As the film's awards collection threatens to burst at the seams, you can read extracts of our illuminating conversation here.
