Director: What!?
Judge: I.I’m sorry. None your ideas would make a good middle school short film.
Director: You gotta give me a chance. You just gotta.
Judge: I said no. The CORE movie company won’t be helping you. The only way you can get our company to invest in your movies will be to win the middle school film festival.

I didn't read the entire thing, because everything was starting to be repetitive and redundant. I know these are the bloopers, but still. Did you try actually filming this?  I think it would be more interesting as a video, rather than just a script. I like your idea behind the writng though, the fact that the director is trying to create a really good film, but everything is sort of going all wrong for him. Nice start!
