Page Counts of the Scripts I've Sold

Scripts and Page counts of some of my movies so you can get an idea—

This was the draft that sold/optioned.

Teardrop (horror) - 92 pages

The Housewives of the North Pole (Christmas Comedy) - 102 pages

My One Christmas Wish aka Craigslist Christmas - 103

Mouth to Mouth - which is under option, is 105 pages and is a teen comedy.

Noticing a pattern?

Nothing in the 120 page range. Nope! I’ve found the sweet spot is mid-to-high 90s, up to about 104 or 105. I never had luck with the 110 paged scripts and have reduced them all.
