Wow that is ridiculous.

What's the plot of Vantage point? Spoil it for me because I'll likely never see it.

As Directorik stated, what's important is to write. It takes a long time to develop all the skill sets needed to pull a screenplay off. Most of us aren't willing to, or are unable to put in the necessary practice time. Four or five hours every morning and you'll see some good results in a year...

RASHOMON IT UP BROSEF

I usually do it as follows. INT. SOMEWHERE - DAY Josh answers the phone. JOSH Wuddup TRESSA (V.O.) Hey homeslice, lemme borrow your legos please. I doubt a reader would be confused as to what's going on. If for instance someone talking on the phone also does voice over narration I would do...

This seems intensely complicated. Do you have a script I could read? Ccolebrooked@gmail.com I'd love to give feedback.

Wow thanks for the link mang. Reading it right now.

Moonkinder follows mankind into the space age, where galactic conflicts get in the way of one moon man's dream of starting a family on Earth. I like this one because it happens to me all the time.

Good advice VP. I create characters along the same lines. Making them best suited for interaction with the storyline, then fleshing out their human qualities in ways that give me room to play throughout the story.

Action for sure.

With its colorful man-made plants, this place speaks vaguely of a Willy Wonka tourist attraction. Assuming I don't go farther than that. Is this something I need permission to write in a script?

Now that's awesome. You can have moments where making a call is the only choice they have to overcome an obstacle. They gotta call characters we met in the beginning that they parted paths with. The hot girl has to stand on a tower and dial them, ringing ringing (Voicemails etc, until the last...

Something else that is western: Blowing through mountains with dynamite to make way for trains. Anything explosive to do with mountains and Immigrant workers could work, really.

Everyone go home, we're done here.

At the moment I'm running with a premature birth under the 3rd act stress leading up to the climax. It might work. I'll have to see how many months I can shave off. Directorik however, is right. I think people will just get it if I use a few timecuts. Thanks to everyone who has posted to keep...

Had plenty of doubts myself. Just stopped worrying about being good enough to make money. That's many years away. Replace your doubt with a knowing patience that you need time to grow. Also, Get your first few scripts written and out of the way. You'll write much better stuff down the road, so...

The post apocalyptic setting usually precludes cell phones. Been a while since I've seen a post-apoc pure horror.

Well the pregnancy is important to the story for a lot of reasons, it's just a cumbersome amount of time to deal with. I think I'll go with the idea that she's already pregnant, or for some reason the pregnancy is shortened. I already penned an epic premature birth during the third act breakdown...

Cellphone video had me cracking up big time. It brings me back to the first ever horror I wrote, when I had the characters lose cellphone reception in a soundstage. "This damn tin roof is jamming my signal!"

Hey forum, I wanna talk about pregnancies in screenplays. I've been editing one of my works and I found that a pregnancy would fill a lot of holes, and generally would give me a lot to play off of, but something is amiss. It seems that with pregnancy there is an issue of time. 9 months has to...
