Hi guys, So I've managed to get the first draft of my treatment done. I would love it if anyone could let me know what they think of it (Even if you only read a section as I realise it's quite lengthy) All reviews and feedback appreciated...

That certainly seems to be the way it is. I have just finished the first draft of the treatment so I will make a thread where people can take a look and review it if they like.

Thanks for the advice, even as I write out the treatment I can see it becoming a supernatural thriller. However I think I can reel it back in to the realms of horror. I am not sure if I can get any named actors but I guess I will have to wait and see what the script ends up being like. Thanks...

Hi guys, Thanks for the feedback, I'm working on the treatment at the moment. I'll send it to anyone here who is interested in seeing it when it's done. Rayw - I have set it with fairly easy locations to get hold of, so they shouldn't be a problem. I would obviously love to have this a...

It's pretty hard to do something 100% original. I plan to make this something different with the way the shots are placed. This film is going to be about suspense and getting in to peoples heads rather than just making people jump. Fear shouldn't be about making people jump for a few seconds...

Hello, I've been watching a lot of horror films of late and I've been very disappointed with them all. It seems that they just make a rubbish film, get an excellent trailer made, then everyone goes to see and gets disappointed. I have had an idea for a horror film that I think could work...

It was nicely shot, only a couple of real problems I had with it. 1) The blood shooting on to the wall wasn't that great. It looked very low budget compared to the rest. 2) The sound effects of the cutting, again, sounded low budget compared to the rest. Nicely done though otherwise

Hello, I've got some short film scripts up for sale on my website (including a new short horror), I am also available for hire to write films (short or feature) I know there are a lot of great people on this website and I would love to work with some of you. If you have any questions feel...

Thank you once again for your insights. That post was very helpful (also explains why I was so confused about it all) I think that every now and then I like to use it, but there are times where it feels forced. I think I will just use what feel natural. Maybe even keep them out of it all...

Hi guys, So I have just one question in regards to script writing, capitalisation, when is it supposed to be used? I know that with the first appearance of a character it is used, I mean more along the lines of during the description of actions etc. e.g "The glass dropped to the floor...

Hi, I have a short horror film that I would be willing to let go for the right price: My Soul To Take: Mary is a struggling, middle aged mother who, in her time of need, turns to god for help. Things start to get miraculously better, but did god solve her problems or just make her blind to...

Thank you :) I actually didn't feel anywhere near as bad as I thought I would, it was quite easy, the guy I sold it to was very nice and easy to talk to. Even though I now have to let one of my favourite scripts go and spread it's wings, I'm happy with it. Thanks again for all the advice :)

Just an update, Beetroot has been sold now, so the rest will be up for sale on my website: www.spencerbarrettfilms.co.uk

An update for you all: I had the meeting and it went great, we're going to be getting the ball rolling on Monday. It looks like it's going to be a very exciting project and could end up going very far. I can't say what the project is yet as I'm not sure how they are going about promoting it...

Thanks for the advice guys :) I'll let you all know how it goes!

Hey guys, So I've got my first meeting coming up soon with a Producer that could potentially change my career in a massive way. I'm going to be writing a script for him and we're meeting to talk about where to start etc. I'm fairly sure that I've got all my bases covered, but that's what I...

Thanks for the replies guys. Directorik, I'm glad I've got your interest, at the moment I think I want to give away a few short film scripts, see how that goes and then addvance from there. If I post the loglines and approximate lengths then anyone that is interested can just message me about...

Collaboration could be good, what about if I gave scripts away and became a producer on the projects? That way I could keep tabs on the project and it's direction, or would that not be a good idea?

It's mainly that when I write something I see it in a very particular way, if I give it away then it may be done completely against what I was thinking, which in turn could end up looking bad for me. I want my scripts to live up to their full potential, anything else would be a real...

Hey guys, So I have written many scripts, some with the intention of making, some with the intention of selling. I know that realistically I won't make any of the ones I have now as I am focussed on other projects and have my plans all set. I would like to give the scripts away, but it's so...
