    Where do you hold your casting call?

    I haven't done any casting YET, but when I do I'll probably rent an office. There's a guy in San Diego that has nicely decorated offices, small studios, and conference rooms for $8-15/hour and he caters to the film community. I have his card somewhere, maybe he knows a similar person in LA if...

    INT. or EXT. in this circumstance?

    Yeah, but now I'm confused..Would you put INTERCUT: INT./EXT. in a spec script? - I thought for spec scripts we weren't supposed to try and dictate shots so much? Am I missing something here?:huh:

    Hard to evaluate, since I didn't understand a word - (except, a film by mu.....) Liked the mountain shot, the hugging shot, the guy on the ruin shot. Can you post a translation for the Supers? Cheers DreamLarge

    archived-videos The Waitlist (Short student film)

    Pretty good job. Liked the student actor a lot. He was real believable. The note on the door, on the other hand was 'less believable to me.' No modern day school would risk a lawsuit by posting something that confidential about an employee. I was also left wondering 'what crime' the...

    Killer at Large ... watch your back

    This guy has been getting around. There's nothing else on the local news here in San Diego right now - but he apparently tried to hijack a yacht last night here in SD. Watch your back everyone. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/LAPD-Manhunt-Revenge-Plot-Christopher-Dorner-190213571.html

    Casting

    You'll probably want to join a local film makers club or group. Try Meetup, Facebook Groups, Google+ groups. I joined the San Diego Film Consortium, and met about 100 eager actors (most willing to work for LO/NO) just to get resume builders. They left headshots on a table and I kept a few for...

    Would you read past this opening?

    So keep writing in screenplay format, using the basic (minimal) comprehension about formatting that I have - or write it like a novel to get the story out and THEN go back to screenplay format? AKA adapt my own work? Or just write script in Jungle Ball format?

    Feature Length Screenplay?

    Cool chart, where does that come from? As for the OP's question, does entering your screenplay into a competition restrict you from producing it later yourself? Which contest is it?

    Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your honest feedback. Good stuff! Later, I'll take another stab at Page 1 and post it here in this thread. Or if I'm struggling with how to fix something, I'll come back here and ask for more help. I've been reading The Scriptwriters Bible all day, and...

    OK - this is my first stab at trying to write my little story in Screenplay format. FADE IN: EXT. MARINA - DAY Clouds darken the sky. Thick ropes GROAN as they struggle to secure their charges to the docks. All the flags in the marina are erect and at attention, SNAPPING furiously to the...

    How long does it take you?

    For those of you who've completed screenplays, I'd love to hear how long it usually takes you (weeks, months, years, etc.) - and if possible, how many hours per day you end up writing on average (when you're in writing mode.) Also, when you finish the first draft - and you're ready to do a...
