Hello guys,
I have fantastic news for all those dreaming to get realized their movie scripts one day:
I found 5 "pitch directly to hollywood executives"-websites on the web, who - although costly - provide a very straightforward service in order to contact film professionals and send them...
I´ve got good and bad news.
The bad: I saw myself forced to close the forum because of legal matters.
The good: I accidentally got mailed some German screenwriting forums, even google couldn´t provide me with:
Hackermovies
Amateurfilm
Slashcam
VFX
Drehbuch24
Viel Glück!
Hello,
since there are only few forums for artists of the written word in Germany, here some good news: the Ixtlan Forum has opened.
You can post your screenplays, short movies, movies, poems and songtexts there and discuss them with other members.
Ixtlan - Forum für Drehbuchautoren und...
Well actually not, since I´m programming my own one at this very moment:
Ixtlan Forum - Das Forum für Drehbuchautoren und Filmemacher
But respect, you did what felt years on google didn´t achieve, thx for the tips!
Well, I´m really looking forward to read the whole screenplay and I surely will shortly review it as soon as I find the time, but since were both Germans a totally different idea now strikes my mind.
Isn´t it kind of weird to be forced to write english language screenplays and then to discuss...
Here are the music tracks I wanted to use, but since the rights for them turn out to be very expensive, you sure want to use different ones. Nevertheless you can listen to them here:
If the originally intended shooting style interests you:
Opening credits : Tiergarten / Tangerine Dream

Hello guys,
here´s my screenplay for a surreal b/w short, about 5 pages of gloomy madness about what waits for anyone who gives up his soul from nine to five.
Therefore this script is free for all with absolutely no need to talk about money as long as you don´t forget to mention my name in the...
Here´s the dream cast that I envisioned for the script:
Martin : Christian Bale
Bernhard : Karl Urban
Susan : Gretchen Mol
Doc : Treat Williams
Vivy : Lena Headey
Javier : Vincent D´Onofrio
Raul ...
...well, let´s see what could be offered:
three cups of drama
two ounces of action
a tablespoon of thrill
and, last not but not least:
250 ml of sex, carefully dosed
Mix it with mainstream movie stars, a visually talented director and some able marketing guys and you´ve got the next...
Since there is absolutely no financial way for German movie producers to realise a big budget action thriller, the only possibility to see my script come to life is unfortunately nailed to the great US of A.
The term "spec script" rang a bell in my consciousneess, since it wasn´t obvious to me, what should have been obvious: the speculative nature of proposing a script to someone, whom you sell it to rather than directing it yourself.
Well offering only the advertisement of something written instead of the words itself isn´t usual here.
So do you recommend e-mails or real letters for queries?
Sending query letters without script excerpts sounds surprising to me, but ok, I get the point. Letters is all I´ve got, so this won´t be much of a challenge. This weird feeling of emptyness...
Well that´s outstanding, a complete rewrite from your artistic point of view all together with plush/let down-bars (lol).
So from your point of view directions like close shot, view from above, zoom etc. are not elements of a script. That´s really a surprise, since I read scripts containing...
