Hey Everyone! I know its a burden to ask for input on any written piece, but my brother and I have been working on this story for quite a while and was wondering if anyone might be interested in checking it out and giving their thoughts on it. If you can't or hate the first few pages, then I...

Thanks for the words of encouragement, guys! Gonna send it out! Wish me luck!

Hey guys, Just finished this short, which took a couple of months. Was wondering if you guys would be willing to give your honest feedback. Trying to send it to festivals, but I'm not sure if it's good enough. What do you guys think...

What makes a history movie so great is the same reason why any movie is great. It's gotta have a plot that's driven by conflict with some sort of point that moves within some sort of structure. It's gotta have characters that are understandable, and it's gotta have action and dialogue that's...

For me, screenplay writing is inextricably linked to my identity, so if my story sucks then it makes me feel like I suck. This is obviously not healthy for my mental state of mind, I know, but it certainly helps me churn stories out and remain resilant to failure because again, failing means...

Interesting. I like that idea of execution. I'll have to figure out a way to do that as it's a lot of information, so some condensing will be necessary.

Thanks for those notes. I definitely agree that after the montage and before the bath tub scene is too confusing and boring, so I think I'm just going to scale back on that. Thanks!

Thank you, and assuming we win this script competition, we'll definitely film and share!

This is kind of a difficult question to answer since we don't exactly know what the story is about, but if you want to keep it interesting just try to find a way to make the unexpected plausible and real, but in a way that aligns with what you're trying to say. I always like to sort of occilate...

Thanks man! I really appreciate the compliment!

I wrote this pretty quickly, but would greatly appreciate feedback. Thank you and hope you like the piece! FADE IN: INT. OFFICE WAITING ROOM - DAY A young and serious-looking man named STEVEN BANNEKER sits in a reception area, confidently waiting to be seen for an interview. *He holds a...

Seems like an interesting structure. Is this a movie where the whole time we're seeing two different interpretations of the same event or is this something where in the middle of the story, they're recalling this event and only for a brief moment before they move on?

Hmm, not quite understanding what you're trying to accomplish here. So, these two characters are recollecting the same past moment, but it's shown differently? If that's the case, I'd consider using a voice over sequence where the two characters explain what happened, kind of like on True...

The thing about scripts are that, yes, certain standards need to be adhered to, so that pre-production runs smoothly, but little nuancesthat don't affect pre-production like this are really up to the writer. As long as it's formatted properly and you're making it clear as day that your villain...

I would tell it in the way your audience is going to see the piece. If you don't want to reveal who the villain is, then quickly describe what they're using to hide their identity and use a character name that's non-descriptive like, "Shadowy figure" or "Masked Man". Then later on when you...

Hey thanks for taking the time to read it. Respectfully, I'm going to have to decline on collaborating as I'm working with my brother on this project, but I'd love to check out some of your work and if our styles align, I might be interested in doing some collaboration. Regarding your...

Sweet, man. Glad I could help. Best of luck!

Okay you got this, man. You just gotta come up with something that's plausibly awesome and thrilling, with tension and all that and only use two characters. So, how about this: Friend visits other friend whose in a wheel chair with mental impairments to confess that he's the reason why the...

Hey everyone! I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in giving their honest feedback on the first 22 pages of my Sci-fi drama/thriller feature? I sort of wrote it on a whim, even though I've been pondering on it for a while. Here's the link...

We just wrapped up a shoot using two airbnb houses. Our experience was pretty smooth. We did have to spend some time searching for the right places because not everyone was open to it. But, we had a site that showcased our work and we gave our full names and everything and made sure we were...
