    Only one actress, any ideas?

    Use some trick photography and have her play multiple roles. Or, maybe cast yourself in it.

    Any decent free screen righting software for vista?

    I guess it's unanimous. Celtx is the way to go. Ever since I switched from Word, I've never looked back.

    What happens to college undergrads in Film after they graduate??

    o_O No way! I know schools in America are wicked expensive, but now Australia seems to be where it's at. Right now I'm looking at schools in Canada. Anyone hear anything about Queens University?

    Mixed Genres in One Script

    They're called dramadies. Pretty cool genre where you don't have to be too funny or too serious either. The only movie that comes to mind like this is "Jersey Girl" by Kevin Smith. It's by and by a drama, but there is some good comedy in it as well. A solid film despite what some Smith fans...

    What you do to get ideas?

    I get inspiration from a variety of different things. For my feature screenplay "Stranger" it was a combination of me thinking of the loneliness of driving for hours on along stretch of road, and a quote my old man told me when I first started driving: "You are the one in control when your...

    Interested in Screenwriting

    Interested in Screenwriting

    Naw, you don't have to move to America do be a good screenwriter. Just keep writing scripts, produce them, and try and get into the film circuit. From what I hear, Europe has a pretty good one anyway. Also, go and read other screenplays to try and get the format down and learn the basics like...

    3rd Actz!

    It all depends on your first and second acts. Try and find a natural way to end your story that follows the introduction of the plot and characters in the first act and the tension building in the second. Make sure that the beginning of third act carries on the tension you built from the second...

    Advice on scripts for franchises

    Good luck, buddy. I'm in the same boat as you. Working on a live action adaptation feature of an animated show. I'm hoping to do it in the future though after a few original features under my belt. I suggest you go down that road and make an original feature or two first. Look at Bryan Singer...

    This has actually been really helpful for me. I am planning on shooting a feature where the majority of the film takes place in a moving vehicle. This will help me with the pre-production. Thanks
