FEEDBACK:

Hello Andrew,

Melbourne Live Indie Film Fest has added a note to your submission:

The screenplay successfully blends nerve-wracking   situations and dramatic moments with humour and comedy, creating a   well-balanced and engaging experience. The characters' coping mechanism of   finding humour in stressful situations endears them to the audience and adds a   human touch to their extra-terrestrial journey.

"Alien Traitor" explores the theme of   Religion as a protagonist, which adds complexity to the conflict and serves   as an impediment to the characters' mission. The exploration of religious and   political figures hindering progress adds depth to the narrative, making it   thought-provoking and relevant.

The screenplay's plot twist at the end involving   a time paradox is particularly noteworthy, leaving a lasting impact on the   reader and heightening the intrigue surrounding the characters' decisions and   their impact on destiny.

"Alien Traitor" is an enthralling and   well-crafted screenplay that excels in its genre. The imaginative   world-building, captivating plot, and nuanced character development create a compelling   cinematic experience. As the characters embark on their mission to save   humanity and confront the consequences of their decisions, the screenplay   keeps the readers at the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating how the   story will unfold.
