    I really appreciated my feedback. It was very apparent that the reviewers thoroughly read my script. The advice given was relevant. I now feel I have a script in presentable form. I will definitely enter this contest again.

    Optimus is a well organized and professional done competition. It's unique because it combines both a showcase for your script in the competition and provides an in depth evaluation of your script. It was a very good experience. I'm very honored my screenplay, Feral Mountains placed in the Top 20 Writers. Keep up the great work!

    I’m thrilled that my screenplay, TERRA SILICA, has won 1st place in the Optimus Feedback Screenplay Competition. The feedback I received was fantastic: detailed, insightful, elevating, and inspirational. Even the smallest comments on transitions were sharp and spot-on. I’m grateful to the Optimus team for this generous acknowledgement, and I can’t overstate how vital their guidance was in getting me here. Thank you so much for all the time and care you dedicate to supporting writers!

    This has been a great film festival experience for me. The feedback I got was excellent and really helped me to improve my crime thriller screenplay, Overwhelming Darkness. So much so, that I ended up placing as a Finalist in the competition. The communication from the competition organisers has been great and I would highly recommend entering as the fee is extremely reasonable, as everyone gets nine pages of helpful and constructive notes on their script. Brilliant!
