This is great! I for one have always been writing scripts as a hobby. Film-making business has always been a closed circle, even in foreign and indie markets. An additional channel into the circle for people outside of Hollywood couldn't hurt.

That's what I thought too. I stumbled across this yesterday, while searching for a market for my script.
The deal sounds great, I'm too busy to market my script properly, but I can just upload it to them, get feedback, exposure, possibly win some money, and maybe make $200,000 if they buy it.
Worst case scenario is I leave in 18 months with just my script again -- but I figure that's the expected case for self promotion anyway.
Agree. Even though I haven't tried to publish anything in print media format, but I suspect that, at worst case scenario, this is no different from a writer submitting his work and getting turned down with some comments.
