Short film script awaiting review. Mysterious events are taking place in a High School. |
| ******NOTE: I created this short film script for a state competition. This is my first short film, although I have done several YouTube videos of my own. This is not the final version, but any suggestions or reviews would be really helpful. I'm only 16 and not an expert. The spacing may be a little weird as well because I copied and pasted from a script creation program. Please give any advice or suggestions. ALSO, names that are not mentioned in lines are irrelevant. Yes, I know the "MileyMandy" reference is kind of stupid but their names will not be mentioned in the film. This is just for scripting purposes only. Thanks. Please enjoy..."Sub-Zero" TITLE CREDITS 1 Camera continues down empty school hallway.
