I have. What do you want to know?

is worth spending $ on? did you get good feedback?

I'd say it's worth it simply due to all the industry pros who use it. Black list is always cited as the best way to expose your work to people in the business along with the Nicholls. If you get an 8 or above you get included on the weekly newsletter that goes out the members.

The feedback was helpful but too brief for what they charge. A couple pages would be nice instead of a couple paragraphs. The positive tone of the feedback also didn't reflect my overall score and it didn't really go into great detail about the areas where I didn't get high marks. But then again you're judged by the same standards used on spec scripts submitted to major studios. Last I checked the average score on BL was 5.1 or something. It's tough.

Question when using multiple locations in a shot:

Do you label it "Bathroom/Main room/Kitchen" or "Bathroom - main room - kitchen"?

Yeah but in the context of famous actors its not much
