Comments

Here are the comments from our panel of screenwriter professionals about this script.

A very quirky script with a nice witty twist at the end. A great showpiece for 2 actors looking to make something interesting and to get them seen.

Blind dates are a staple of short film, so it can be difficult to find a new take, yet this funny and poignant short script really nails it. BLIND DATE is a sweet story that’s memorable and has an important subtext: we all CAN find the right person who sees us for who we truly are.
