New short film!

Hello everybody, I have just finished writing a short film and need your feedback!
Enjoy!

EXT. house
Helicopters and tank surround the house. A Special Forces team exits a van. Team leader Howard is the first out, followed by a small woman.
Howard
Give it to me laura.
LAURA
Sir it seems to be some kind of bio-waste spill or possibly a chemical attack of some kind. Frankly, sir, we have no idea what it is; neighbors have reported "unearthly" smells, and everyone who comes in the vicinity of it has apparently succumbed.
Howard
The residents?
LaURA
Presumed dead sir.
Howard
What the story on backup?
Laura
S.W.A.T. has surrounded the building and the national guard will be here in 10 minutes.
Howard
Alright, radio for an advanced hazmat team and get emergency services down here right away.
Howard takes out his radio.
Howard
Team 3, do have a visual on the target yet?
Team 3
Approaching the target now sir.
INT. HOUSE
Team 3 approaches the door, weapons drawn.
TEAM 3
Clear.....approaching door.....opening door now.....we have civilians on the floor.....
Howard
Team 3 we are loosing your visual, do you copy?

TEAM 3
Room seems to be clear.....wait, what is that? Oh no oh no!
Howard

TEAM 3

EXT. HOUSE
Howard
Team 3, do you copy? Come in team 3. I say again we are loosing your feed!
(static)
Son of a biscuit. Alright, Jamison, Harper, on me. Laura, find me another entry point. Control, standby with tactical teams 2& 4.
LAURA
There's an entrance to the basement from the south.
Howard
Alright lets move!
Team 1 moves to the hatch.
Howard
Jamison, take point.
JAMISON moves infront of the door while HARPER grabs the handle. HOWARD counts down from three with his fingers. HARPER pulls the door open and JAMISON moves slowly down the stairs followed by HOWARD and HARPER. JAMISON moves into the room while checking corners. They proceed into the next room.
HOWARD
Laura, we are moving towards the stairs.
LAURA
Be aware, control has called in the Army.
HOWARD
Roger that.
The team moves to the stairs.
HOWARD
Hold here.
HOWARD moves to the breaker and pulls out a pair of wire cutters.
HOWARD
Be advised, I am cutting the power now.
HOWARD cuts the wires. The house begins to shake violently as dust and debris fall from the ceiling. Suddenly a large beam falls on JAMISON.
HOWARD
Is everyone alright?
Harper
I'm alright, but Jamison's hurt pretty bad.
HOWARD
Alright, get him out of here.
LAURA
What's happening in there?
HOWARD
I don't know. Harper is bringing Jamison out now; he needs medical attention.
LAURA
I'll have it standing by.
HOWARD moves up the stairs and into the kitchen. He walks over a body.
HOWARD
Be advised there are multiple bodys. Egh, the smell!
HOWARD moves into the hallway.
HOWARD
I've reached the source....the smell is excruciating....it's burning my eyes, my throat.
LAURA
Be advised, the army has arrived and are ready with explosives.
HOWARD
No, no I can make it. Almost there.
HOWARD slowly moves through the door.
HOWARD
I...I think I see it. Yes, I see it! It...It's awful! No it appears to be some kind of green..... No. No it's on me! No no no! AAAggghhh!
LAURA
Howard. Come in Howard.
HOWARD
 BLOW IT!
We see the house explode.
EXT. HOUSE
Laura picks up a camera and views the footage. We hear screams in the background. Laura gasps as we see the source.

THE END

Pre-production Almost Finished!

Midnight Movies and Philippians 4:8 Productions have announced the casting of a lead actor for the 2015 movie, "A Candle for Christmas". In a surprise turn of events, it was announced that director Aaron Measer would be filling the role of "Timothy".  "This is not an ideal situation to say the least," says Measer, "but I believe that if the Lord wants this movie to be created, it will happen." Aaron went on to say that, though he would prefer to only direct, he and his producers believe that it is in the best interest of the film, that he would take on this role.

Pre-production is almost finished, and principle photography is scheduled to begin in early January, 2015.
