I knew almost everything he said, but he did say a few things that I wasn’t aware of. Just little details on script formatting such as capitalization. He explained we should always capitalize:
- the name of all characters when they first appear in a scene,
- all special props, as well as the
- art direction.
In addition, we should never write any camera angle, characters’ tone or any other type of instructions. According to him, it shows that the writer is an amateur.
By now we all know that VO stands for “voice over,” but OS stands for “off-screen.” OS is the voice or sound that is part of the scene, such as someone yelling at the character on-screen or a EMS siren wailing in a crash site.
We read his screenplay “Nikki & Eli,” analyzed it and watched the movie afterwards. In a few scenes, I would have made other audio selections, but this is a personal choice. Overall, the movie was interesting and the end was somewhat unpredictable. 
Rob’s tip: if you are interested in film festivals, you should take a look at Without a Box.
