Looking for Feedback on Act 1 of My First Screenplay

Hey everyone!

I’m working on my first screenplay, and I’d love to get some honest feedback on Act 1.

This is my first draft, so it’s definitely not perfect, and the screenplay isn’t complete yet. I’m currently working on Act 2, but I’d like to get some feedback on Act 1 before I continue too far.

You don’t need to give any technical screenwriting feedback. I’d mainly love to know what you think as a normal reader.

If you have some free time, I’d especially like to know:

1. Was the story easy to understand?
2. Did it feel boring at any point?
3. Which scene did you find most interesting?
4. Which character did you like or dislike?
5. Was anything confusing?
6. Did the dialogue feel natural?

There’s absolutely no pressure or rush. Only read it if you’re interested and have the time.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read it! 🙏
