UPDATE! I wrote out the opening statements, I think I'm missing some of the procedural stuff but let me know what you guys think. I'm writing from the prosecution point of view, and they don't have all of the evidence yet as someone will come forward with additional information. Yes, this is...

This was written from a writing prompt where the story had to be based around a phobia, and no more than 12 pages, so I chose Athazagoraphobia, or the fear of being forgotten. I didn't get too heavy handed with the concept, but I wanted to get some opinions whether or not I rushed the plot...

haha alright, got it.

Not sure if typing in typical comedic "Asian voice" of if you made two typos.

How long have you been dating?

I know this podcast as well, and I mostly like it. Ten Minute Podcast is just random, so don't let this episode sway you from the hundreds more.

Have you listened to them when they did Ten Minute Podcast? There are about 300 or so episodes with the two of them plus Chris D'elia, and they're 10 minutes long. This episode shares a similar tone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLE5KBLZcMQ&t=112s

Sorry. To "ham it up" - To deliberately exaggerate one's emotions or movements, or to overact or act badly.

Thanks for that. So you read what I linked? You got the "hamness" of it all, right?

Haha. I like that idea. See, I like the absurd, or the cringe-factor in certain styles of comedy. Look at Tim and Eric, or even The Eric Andre Show - both on Adult Swim. It's that sort of random, cringe-inducing comedy that I love. Now I can write it, sure, I got a bunch of weird ass ideas that...

I know what I like in terms of comedy, and that's usually dark humor like Anthony Jeselnik and the like. When it comes to movies I appreciate Very Bad Things and American Psycho for it's funny elements. Funny dialogue, fine, but it's the "putting them into funny situations while conveying a...

There's a bit of a self-consciousness vibe going on as I'm somewhat intimidated by the people involved. I just kinda happened into this. I'm a fan of Bryan and Will from Mad TV, then when they did a podcast together, and now individually. Through Reddit, I talked to Bryan's co-host for his...

True, and I think I'll just go ahead and do that and wait for comments. Well, I need to do an outline or a beat sheet at the very least.

I know there's that old saying "write your dream then let the accountant hack away at it." Maybe it isn't a saying exactly, but you get what I'm saying. Maybe I should say fuck it and write them where I want them, and let them figure it out.

I agree. The unfortunate limitations I have are length of the shorts and budget. These are to be crowd funded AFTER I provide a beat sheet. I can lay out how this will go down via dialogue, no a problem, but it's the locations I'm worried about. I have to be budget and time conscious. I want to...

Here's a long-winded explanation on what exactly I'm doing. Alright, here it goes...try to stay with me. I'll start by saying the idea behind this isn't mine, I'm merely tasked with the screenwriting. The theme is culture, and how the vast majority of us are ignorant to what exactly that...

Writing comedy is subjective enough, but what about when you're tasked to write comedy into a topic which has no comedic element? Do you rely on a "funny" situation while the characters speak in a serious tone? Or what about make fun of the topic and deliver it in a satirical way? These...

I'll critique in exchange for a critique on one of mine. I posted a few here. http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=63916

The first logline sounds exactly like 10 Cloverfield Lane. That said, the third one works for me and leaves room for ambiguity without hinting to it.
