Hey Larry, checked out your chat prog, looks cool altho obviously its not active right now :) Also had a look at your website quickly and looked at your Spinning Cat, still no sound at work tho :( Wanted to see the Unknown Planet but damn browser wouldnt load it. Anyway, nice work :D Al

I agree with the fact comedies cant touch on issues in society, sometimes it's better to look at something serious from a lighter point of view. Just because it's funny doesn't mean it can't have anything more important to say about life itself :D

Just remember that just because a story doesnt appear on screen doesnt mean it's never been done before. Sure you can come up with original ideas but theyll still borrow certain elements. Memento is a good example because it's one that defies general script rules of sticking to correct...

Every story has been done before, if a story is new it's generally a mix of several film genres and several stories just done in a slightly different way. There are in fact only 8 different story types (ill list them if you really want!). I can understand the feeling of seeing something you're...

Hey Larry didnt realise you were on here too

Try Rules of Attraction - I know they have one part which is split screen showing two characters and how they wake up and how different their lives are. It'll work as long as you don't have too many characters Sometimes we do have to cut, its a sad tale but we gotta do whats gotta be done :)...

I know now in England they've started doing micro-shorts or rather super shorts which are either 2mins or less than a minute - hardly see the point myself as ads run even longer than that :) I'd say 10-20 is your best bet but 30 would be fine. I think anything above that and you're pushing it a...

Bill, that's some good advice and it is true that scripts should be exciting and like you say they are the film at that point in time. The problem I find with produced scripts is that these scripts have been tweaked, director notes added, things changed - also the style many people write in is...

First ive heard of it too, not sure if its that good and its pricy (around $300). You'll probably notice the same post on indieclub and screenplay and a few have commented there. Just thought it might interest someone out there as id never heard of it and its not much use to me for just writing.

Hi everyone, I'm a writer myself but thought this might interest someone, wasn't sure exactly with forum section would be best. Has anyone heard of this program? http://www.frameforge3d.com It's basically a computer generated virtual film studio where you can import scripts from programs like...

Cheers OK thanks that's what I wanted to hear. Glad I don't have to worry bout that anymore :) I swear I've seen one competition where they've said only send scripts that haven't been submitted before.

Thanks Hi thanks for the feedback. When I meant multiple submissions I meant the same script, just different competitions. I'm just wondering if it's possible to send your script to as many different comps as possible and if it wins in several comps whether this would pose as a complication...

Hi, I'm not sure if this has been asked before so if it has can someone kindly refer me to the topic. Anyway, I understand some screenwriting competitions state they only want scripts that have never been submitted and some don't care either way. When submitting to various different competitions...

I agree with everything on this page. Although, it is an old topic it is a pesistent topic among those new to the industry. I myself thought about these things when I first started and worried about to. At the end of the day, it all depends on what you do, generally most creative work from...

Links I found that mandy website quite useful at least for seeing what is out there. Can anyone else maybe recommend some links where they post jobs - pref ones with UK ones too. Is there a links page to this site where anyone can put up their fav links for writing/directing/producing etc...

Case, what exactly were you working with the lad from Carlton with? To be honest I'd rather stay in the office with this lovely A/C :) For a writer, this heat just melts your brain and then I've got no hope of getting anything done :) Take it easy

Simple movie titles are norm the best - just look at Aliens and Jaws :)

I know we do mate but I wouldve thought if u were gonna post something for me you would either have sent a PM or put it on my post Anyway it'll be a while before I have anything to show you

I think it's cool apart from the confusion that the room is perfectly neat but u say she cant understand the mess?? i guess it's abrupt coz u just want it to go on :) hehe I think the description is ok and you can show a small amount of internal conflicts and thoughts, but most of that is kept...
