    Lost in translation - A letter of presentation by a non-native writer.

    Why not be the change you want to see? I'm sure there are a lot of other people in your same shoes, try reaching out to them. Social media has made it plenty easy for people with likeminded interests to connect and come together. See about starting an indie club around your location, maybe...

    Thanks for the detailed response. I'll apply the advice :) Glad to know you enjoyed the story. I have another one, somewhat similar, which I want to get to asap since it's just harassing me on a daily basis.

    Short script finished. Need help with formatting.

    No, actually what I meant was that I'm writing the screenplays on my cellphone, usually while at work, although sometimes I write them while trying to put the little ones to sleep. I hardly have any time whatsoever to sit down, use my laptop and spend the time I wish I could :( I'll make sure...

    Short script finished. Need help with formatting.

    Thanks for the tips. I'll work on switching to the correct tenses. Not sure why I kept going back and forth on those. Regarding the two spaces after a period, I'm writing this on my cellphone, usually while at work, so I think I'm just completely missing them. Thanks for pointing those out...

    Short script finished. Need help with formatting.

    I did use CeltX. I just don't know enough to be certain that I did everything as it should be done. If you are willing to look it over, how would you like me to provide it?

    Short script finished. Need help with formatting.

    I finally finished a script - yayyy me! - but I'm sure the formatting is not completely correct. I've tried to learn as much as possible by reading forums like this one, reading other scripts and watching plenty of educational videos, but I know I'm just not good enough at it. So now what??? Is...

    Man I hate to say this but it's not funny. You're trying to find a solution, to a rather simple problem, the most complicated way possible. I mean, I'm glad you went out there and did it, but it's not comedy. Now, I understand that comedy, like any other artform, is in the eye of the...

    First of all, nice work overall. I watched the whole thing, which it's sometimes not the case. A few things I would like to point out- You have to think about time as another aspect of your film. When I say time, I literally mean seconds, minutes and such. *For example, when the hitman...

    Do these still exist?

    Hello Sonder, As others have stated, after you finish the writing then comes the fun part, making it. Others have given great advice so I can't really add much more to that aspect so my advice is to maybe start small, meaning a short movie. Try writing a short movie after you are done with...

    Wow, haven't been here in quite awhile. Glad I came back and found this ;) I can't really help you with the technical aspects of the writing, since I myself am a newbie when it comes to screenwriting but I can point out some things, story wise. *Not knowing that Sam was 40yo, I pictured her...

    Finding someone to shoot my script - Cleveland, Ohio.

    If the "has to be a local" is an issue and someone here is interested in getting a copy of the script, please let me know. I would rather work with a local but I want this project to take flight, so everyone is welcomed.
