Pros: I love the structure of your script. I Didn’t find one error in the structure. I also love your delivery and how you each highlighted their differences in their personalities and seriousness/ humor that the characters portray. They are fighting for their lives for Christ sak...
Here are my thoughts on your short:

1. Concept - I really liked the idea of a crew being stuck inside of an alien like creature that have fallen under from its gas. I also enjoyed you adding trypophobia into this to add more to the horror.

2. Story - The story, while not the most original, was still very well written out. It was clean, intriguing, and knew where it was going.

3. Structure - The formatting and structuring is incredibly cl...
