    Checkmate - My script

    That's actually amazing, loved you're formatting. btw, when i spoke about tarantino's scripts , it wasn't as saying that i wanna emulate him. A lot of scripts i've read like the Godfather describe the scenes and characters with a lot of details. The writers in those scripts choose to write...

    Checkmate - My script

    Thanks man, do you think that it's that bad ? haha i mean i have no experience, english is not my first language and i was never a writing fan to tell you the truth, i use writing as means to get my point across, to put my ideas in paper and in motion, not because i actually love writing, if...

    How do you guys get in the zone?

    besides always tinkering with ideas on my mind and writing them on my cellphone till i get home, when i really want to write i just feel it and then i usually smoke some good head-high ganja (sweet tooth always helps) and the thing just seems to write itself. Amen, brother. May you never find...

    character need help on proper way to write about character played by several actors

    unfortunately unless im highly unaware , i think that portugal is a bit of a dead end in artistic terms, whether you're a musician, a director, an actor or whatever there's not much you can do here. shorts also get little to no support, some of them end up being broadcasted on tv but it's rare...

    character need help on proper way to write about character played by several actors

    Im not doing anything because it's cool, im writing it because it's my desire to do so, just like all the other scripts im also writing at the moment for different genres. I don't care if anyone wants to read them or think they're cool, although it's good to hear other people praise you're work...

    hello fellow movie lovers

    To tell you the truth im actually thinking about turning the script into a short movie myself, i've been wanting to do a short movie for a long time but never had the opportunity, i don't even own a camera so i can practice and all that along with the idea of actually directing and ordering...

    character need help on proper way to write about character played by several actors

    I forgot to add that this screenplay im writing is hopefully for me to direct/produce. Thank you for you're input (and everyone else's"). So in each scene i have to state that a particular character is "Mike" in disguise, i get it. Like i said before, i've been writing this script as an homage...

    character need help on proper way to write about character played by several actors

    Yes people will know that's another actor but i actually think it fits what im trying to do. If in the future i changed my mind, then im back on ebay buying crepe hair, make up and all that sh*t but until then i think this can work.

    character need help on proper way to write about character played by several actors

    yes i want the audience to know it's the same character. Well he doesn't steal appearances or turns into anyone, it's as if he is wearing masks and disguises BUT instead it's just another actor who plays that part get it ? So the "transformation" as to be off screen. So that audiences can...

    character need help on proper way to write about character played by several actors

    I have a script where a character has to disguise himself on several scenes but in a way to keep the budget low and after watching Robert Rodriguez Machete Kills a few days ago, i had the idea to use different actors for each "disguise". A while ago i thought of that very same idea but i...

    hello fellow movie lovers

    I would like to introduce myself, i didn't study anything related to movie making. Hell, i left school when i was 16, but now i'm 24 and for the past year i've been trying to learn more about script writing so i can put several of my ideas into paper. I finished a script sometime ago but now im...
