I know a good many people post treatments and scripts there for critique. You might bite off more than you can chew, though...there are quite a few guys that will tell you exactly what they think. It might be a good idea to build out your concept to the treatment level first though. From my understanding, a treatment is copyrightable as a work, while a concept alone, a simple idea, cannot be copyrighted. Not that I think any of the CF crowd would deliberately pirate someone's concept, just it also helps you organize your ideas before throwing them out for discussion.<br/><br/>In Christ,<br/>John Calvin<br/>Young Christian Filmmaker Joining Christian Filmmakers.org might be a good idea.
