WHAT?! How many ppl you know make feature films at their 18? 17,18,21... It's still the same. Even 25. If you were 30+ to make your first feature, no one would care. Besides, it doesn't matter that you turn 18 or even 19. The hook is that you "wrapped your first feature at 17".

So, it's not just me, it's the reality :) I'm not mad yet :) Do you mean the last Robin Hood movie (2010), which was supposed to be about the Sheriff of Nottingham?

But it's not a sole writer that works on TV series screenplay. There is that guy that runs a group of writers. The work divides. I tried to develop an idea that someone else has brought - a setting of crime, drugs and corrupted cops and politicians... Within 3 hours I've developed nearly 12...

17 years old made a feature film. Many of your age (and even higher) may be jealous. I'm not an expert, but I think you SHOULD mention your age when marketing. It makes you stand out from many other filmmakers. Reading the name of this thread I was already intrigued and I've followed the link...

It came in a dream? :) ha-ha I remember I dreamed of lyrics for a song. When I woke up, I wanted to write them, but delayed it, until eventually forgot them. Never mind :) So I like the idea that people have nicknames instead of names. It reminds me of my school years playing MMORPG games like...

You may ask how is this connected to screenwriting, but read on and you'll see. I hear many times people saying, - "The golden age of movies passed long ago. Now it's the golden age of TV series". In Israel it has come to the point that there are more TV series than movies you can find. But...

You ppl got me wrong. I don't use Screenwriting software, because I know how to write in screenplay format well enough. It's not that difficult to follow the format in Word, without any additional software.

I can answer only half of those questions. What do you mean screenwriting editing program? You mean software, like CeltX? No, I don't use any of them. And I see no reasons to. Fair enough :)

Well, I always keep up with the 3 act structure. Are you talking about the one that is ready, or the one I'm writing now? If it's about the one that is ready, than it supposed to be a "spirit uplifting" story, like Rocky. If it's about the one that I'm writing, than it is similar to...

If that is so, then be it. But the fact remains, that financial problems DO make it more difficult. This is the obstacle. My question is how to overcome it. Not because it stops me to write, but because I'm afraid it can drop the quality of what I write. Anything related to creativity should be...

Both. I'm writing 2 scripts 1 - a short film script (10 min) to direct 2 - a feature length spec script to sell Plus, I already have a written spec script, but I want to rewrite it the way that it will turn into a comedy/dramedy (it doesn't work as drama). But that's for latest priority.

I'm not using drugs. Well, smoke weed sometimes. That's it. I know weed helps handle pressure and focus, but it's illegal and expensive. There is also Retalin, but it's not easy to get permission for it, because people do drugs with it too. I need a really high payed job for that Well, I do...

Well, I'm not a screenwriter, not getting paid for writing a script. I write in my free time. Sometimes, I feel like that constant pressure of the lack of money, everyday job, debts and etc - hurts my ability to write something. I guess, most of screenwriters come from high socio-economical...

Maybe I should just use Mr. Hakkan whenever Tomer speaks in disguise? Once Tomer escapes the prison, he saves Alona's husband and his daughter, and gets invited to Alona's house. He forgets the book there for purpose: He wants to hint Alona that he is alive. But due to a certain event, his...

She thinks Tomer is dead by suicide 15 years ago. Tomer uses a fictional identity now. Alona doesn't recognize him after so many years, and thinks he is someone else. Do you think I should hint about it in the scene?

As asked, here is the scene I wrote. I don't tell what is the story about, on purpose. I want to see if it hints on the story. EXT. NEAR TOMER’S CAR / ENTRANCE TO AZRIELI – NIGHT Tomer opens the car’s door. Alona approaches him with the “Count of Monte-Cristo” book. ALONA Mr...

Maybe. But isn't it the real way how the producers read the scripts? Do producers have time to read full scripts? Do producers read scripts? Or hire someone to do that?

Okay I'll post it after I translate it into English. And I won't tell what the story is about.

I think it depends. Depends on many things. If it's a comedy, it's ok to be unrealistic in a way. If it's a history drama, then keep it tight to the history. As people above said, if you come up with a good story, people will forgive if you derail from historical events. But if you feel you need...

Well, it looks like an opening scene. In this case it's obvious that it should reveal the story setting. Well, many wrote much bigger scenes. By bigger, I mean bigger descriptions within the scene, that explain what happened prior. And of course, they were told NOT to do that in the future...
