Interview with Screenwriter Andrew Dean Pearson (THE DEPTHS BELOW)

sci-fi/fantasy/horror

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Having funds to pay for feedback

10. Apart from writing, what else are you passionate about?

acting.

11. You entered your screenplay via FilmFreeway. What has been your experiences working with the submission platform site?

They’ve been great but I feel like they host some contests that feel like scams.

12. What influenced you to enter the festival? What were your feelings on the initial feedback you received?

I thought it’d be a good festival since my script fit the genre and I enjoyed the feedback. It felt good.
