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

As I am new to screenwriting, I consider all feedback carefully with the intent of improving my work. The initial feedback was very constructive. The Horror Underground Film & Screenplay Festival seemed like a good place to test whether or not I had the chops.
