I was hesitant at first, I wrote that script just because I had a story I wanted to tell. I only shared it with two people and was never going to touch it again. A friend was persistent that it was a good story and should be submitted.

So, I looked for a festival that would accept a script for established I.P.. I thought getting feedback would be worth it at the very least so I took the risk and submitted it.

Friday – Val Cole

Visual Design & Editor: Kimberly Villarruel

Produced by Matthew Toffolo

Synopsis:

Following the events of Captain America: Civil War, Natasha Romanoff is on the run. Branded a fugitive for violating the Sokovia Accords, she must not only avoid the clutches of Secretary Ross, who’s hell-bent on her arrest, but also her greatest enemy: Ivan Petrovich, Natasha’s instructor from her days in the Red Room.

However, it’s not just Natasha who Ivan is after. He’s also looking for Ava Orlova, a young girl Natasha rescued from his clutches nearly 10 years ago on behalf of SHIELD. Forced to reunite, Natasha and Ava set off on a search for answers…answers dangerous enough to compromise them both.

Summary of where we are when the best scene occurs:

It’s the beginning of Act II. Natasha and Ava have just barely escaped a kidnapping attempt from Ivan’s mercenaries. Searching for an explanation as to why their old nemesis is after them, Natasha and Ava enlist the help of Tony Stark to determine the function of the OPUS Technology, a machine Ivan used to run experiments on Ava before Natasha rescued her

The scene takes place in upstate New York at the Avengers Compound (more specifically, in Tony’s lab). Everything is expensive, state-of-the-art, and high-tech.

The feedback I received was incredible. The guy reviewing seemed to really understand not only scripts but Doctor Who and good, well-rounded stories. The feedback really helped me to write a new draft.
