    Mirror Man

    Interesting, considering your age. Might want to have a look at this other film with similarity, though: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080464/

    I've been made aware of my Miranda rights, so I'll exercise the first one.

    I truly need your help

    "get a job" yeah no kidding. but that kid is just askin a question. Plenty of people find ways to circumvent or beat the system. Takes tenacity. And outside-the-box-thinking. Lots of grants out there for creative people. You gotta do the diggin. While nobodies ever just "given" me a...

    GLITCH and cover-up?

    My mistake. I didnt realize my post was relocated. I thought it was deleted. But Im still having the re-edit problem. It happened like the 4th time I tried to re-edit the same post. (Yes Im somewhat of a perfectionist)

    This site has a problem - GLITCH

    I'm trying to re-edit my post on DEGREE VS. KNOWLEDGE. But when I try, the version that Im trying to edit is an older version than whats actually posted. Im tempted to just remove my post. I cant edit it and its not complete. Not the end of the world, but I thought I should mention this...

    Degree vs Knowledge

    I know Im a little late here. The topic has probably died down. But heres my 2 cents anyway. I think the question is too vague. All we know about MAN A is that he has a degree? All we know about MAN B is that he has knowledge and experience? Doesnt take a rocket scientist to choose MAN...

    plot Plot Twists

    Becaue you havnt given specifics, neither can I. No that I want to write your script for you. -foreshadow the twist so you dont cheat the audience. give several subtle clues or hints without actully making it predictable - not easy at all(million ways to do this, but it is a balancing act)...

    Stupid Question

    ...good suggestions. Combintion of artist and scientist. I dare say the science of it is more important. At least when beginning. Some may disagree. I wouldnt concern myself with stlye at all until a solid understanding of the science. For example, many of the DPs heroics arent so much...

    Here is a scene from Donniker Productions, "DONT LOSE&q

    Just a tad of constr. crit. One of the things that may help is to specify the cabbies nationality. By just saying "foreigner" I think may be too vague. There are times when I do appreciate the writer allowing me to use my own imagination and fill in the blanks. But in this case, for me at...

    Here is a scene from Donniker Productions, "DONT LOSE&q

    Hey man. Do what you want. No need to explain yourself, certainly not to me. I lke the scene. and yeah - sometime budget dictates story when there AINT NO BUDGET.

    Fuck Gus Van Sant

    "approaches" ...and like I said "just off the top of my head." However, as I come up with original material, you wont find me posting it here - I'll be writng it as script, which is what I've been doing.

    Dramas and comedies?

    What's the point in analyzing the percentage of indie film genre's? Are you statisticans? Make whatever you want - let everyone else do what they want. And move on... :D

    Fuck Gus Van Sant

    I'm not so sure I can accept every story has been done before. While it may be naive to think otherwise, it's at least open-minded. Off the top of my head, some recent films of innovative themes and/or approaches... Pi Timecode Memento Russian Ark Gigli (never before had such a catastrophe...

    Fuck Gus Van Sant

    Interesting. I believe the Coumbine shooters were kids with low self-esteem who lashed out for no good reason, seeking pitty and attenion, blaming other people for their pathetic problems.

    Here is a scene from Donniker Productions, "DONT LOSE&q

    The matter of the "visuals" telling the story isnt about the "shots" in a script. I never ever write "close-up of..." or "we pull back to reveal..". That's something else that as a screenwriter I never even consider, unless ofcourse I will also direct. But advancing the plot through the...

    Here is a scene from Donniker Productions, "DONT LOSE&q

    I certainly agree that dialogue is not the priorty in a script. At least for me anyway. But I found the scene to be funny. Not groundbreakingly hilarious or witty, but there's some humor there. A "radio show". I don't know. It's kinda quick to dismiss it as such. We don't know the entire...

    ROOM SERVICE short

    I'm willing to give the actor the benefit of the doubt to come up with their own way to act surprised. Sure there are plenty of aspiring actor's who need the director and/or writer to hold their hand for them. But the competent ones, the ones who get cast, call back after call back, usually...
