Hey, but voice hearing is inherently scary though, isn't it. It's like ghosts, it's some sort of deep seated, instinctive fear. Makes you want to run. I actually even researched it for a bit, thinking maybe it could be a feature, and there are many different types of voice hearing. There are...

yea, free ideas is free ideas. That's it. Once it's posted it's anybody's. Gone. Forever.

naaaah, I'm not in to blood. I'm more into the fear of blood. I thought it would be fun to just mess with their minds a bit. I dunno. It's just a free idea. I'm never going to write it.

oo oo oo, also I've often played with an idea for a short about someone who starts hearing voices. And the audience hears them as well. Like we share their psychotic experience. Uh, but that's all I've got on it.

Hey, a free ideas thread is a good idea. I've got one. A woman who has a senior security management position in an International Bank, syphons a number of corporate payrolls, to finance eco-terrorism. Someone who should stop her, doesn't, for some reason. Or blackmails her. And she tries to...

It isn't high concept. And I don't know if you can say any word, or combination of words sound amateur. I think if someone had turned up here wanting to call their film "aliens", a lot of people would have said it doesn't describe anything, and there are squillions of movies about aliens, what...

Alright, thanks. My motto is, you fight for it, you get it. And it's got a theme in it about the destruction of the planet being reflected in the destruction of innocence .... thing, and the word "daughter" is also innocent. Thanks for the little push, lol

Mind you, A LOT of people outside the internet, i.e. in "real" life, have voted for Sawmiller's Daughter. It's just the word "daughter" I don't like. It softens it. And I'm really really notoriously terrible at making up my mind over titles.

well, there's going to be paperwork drawn up, and I always think it's more formal if the script has a title. But I'm not crazy about any of them. The word "daughter" does insinuate drama. I like the word "Maiden". Devil's Maiden?

Pooorn !!! Eeeuw !! And there's definitely not a lot of blood. Oh well, thanks guys,

It's for a Gothic Horror either, Devil's Blood Demon Seed or Sawmiller's Daughter

I'm just not going to be able to unbrainwash you people. I feel I've arrived too late or something. And I can't hang around to witness the endless brutality. It's like they walk through a doorway, and have their heads chopped off. You won't learn screenwriting from .... the ..... internet !!

hmm, tricky question. It's a bit like sailing. You have to be mindful of the waves, feel what the wind is doing, hold the ropes, and steer, all that the same time.

I don't understand this 2.5 minute format. Who watches it? Where do you screen it? Anyway, I didn't mind it. It jump cuts. He's sitting on the couch, then it jumps to him in the kitchen, then it jumps to him on the toilet. That will be jarring. Just do it in real time, make him walk from one to...

3 or 4 minutes? jeez. cruel If it's only 3 or 4 minutes, then, maybe just the scene of him waking up and then having his eye replaced, and then him escaping. And that's it. I think that's all you'll fit into 3 or 4 minutes.

I don't think the London Film Academy is looking for students who can regurgitate formulaic structure. I think they're more interested in originality, and a creative approach. Something a bit inspired, rather than .... "old".

The formatting looked fine to me. A few things, I thought it was odd that he was doing his Russian Roulette thing in a saloon. That's not really the likely place for that. Maybe somewhere more private. And if he really wants to kill himself, wouldn't he just do it? Seems more like a device to...

bla bla bla bla I'm smiling and nodding and not hearing a word of that. (writing is writing)

lol, that's sweet. Uhm, except I am actually a deadly dragon. And I only mentioned the awards, and sales, to prove that you can get to where you're going without listening to ANYONE. In fact, they were the words that rang through my head for many years after seeing a documentary about Woody...

well, I said "my" stories never change, I never said "your" stories should never change. I was trying to demonstrate that there are many ways to approach writing. I know a very successful writer who writes without any outline at all, and only about half way through has figured out what his story...
