I apologize for replying to this thread after such a long while, but I just found an article, and I don't know what to think...:( http://www.greenlightmymovie.com/is-a-good-screenplay-good-enough/ (The "Go for Broke" part)

I still follow this thread..:) Thank you for your helpful replies here! Directorik, thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to me...

I've send the screenplay to you, one of the that I am especially fond of. It's my latest screenplay(so it might be different than my first attempt- I deleted that one, it was that bad), but I don't consider myself an expert, so...:) I am passionate about writing, so there is joy and passion I...

Woow! Thank you for your most generous offer! I am just a beginner, so I don't think I have a best screenplay:( Please let me know(private message) how to send it... Thank you again for this and for your helpful replies here!

I wrote a few(most) of my screenplays in the Sci-Fi genre...:( I rewrote them a few times but never got feed-back, so I don't think they're that good...

I read that, if you're a beginner screenplay, you shouldn't write sci-fi screenplays, because they might be too expensive to make and they will be rejected. What is the truth about this idea? If someone submits a first screenplay and it's very "large"(eg: contains scenes on different planets...

Could someone write a screenplay and send it to people, and(if it's good/interesting enough) they make it into a movie you see in theaters(or on a DVD), or is this idea so impossible/unlikely, that it's stupid to even ask such a thing?:( I know/imagine it's hard, but does it mean it can't happen...

On various sites, I've read two contradictory ideas about this... Which of the following ideas is true? 1)People are interested in buying(and making) screenplays, so if yours is interesting and of good quality, someone will buy it from you. Or 2)Nobody is interested in spec screenplays, but...

Hello, First of all, I'd like to congratuate you for writing this story and posting it here! It really shows you have perseverence and the will to do this... I think you should use a screenplay formatting program(Celtx is free) that will make sure it looks alright!:) Another thing I noticed is...

I've read that spec screenplays are used as writing samples. What does it mean for a screenwriter? What type of screenplays can be used/are accepted as writing samples?

I just found it by chance here and remembered your question: https://www.writersstore.com/500-ways-to-beat-the-hollywood-script-reader-jennifer-lerch/ (ps: I hope it isn't considered a spam...)...:))

Were there any movies made from screenplays written by persons without any previous movie industry experience(who never worked in the industry as writing comissioned screenplays or held other positions)? Just screenplays someone bought from people they never heard about before... Are there any...

I wrote a short story a few days ago on a website and today, I received the following comment: "Mindblowing". What does it mean? Does it mean the story was so badly written, that it was mind blowing, or on the contrary, that it was interesting?:)

@directorik: Thank you for your reply to this topic. Indeed, your words ring true and, although they may seem easy to understand, they actually have much depth and they are not to be taken lightly. Yes, I would really enjoy/have passion for writing this as a screenplay first, then spending more...

I just had this idea a few days ago and I'm not sure if it's ok or it's a bad idea...It's more of a horror/action story...Here is a link to it: http://www.talentville.com/snippetaccess/Q3Lqkm password is: "idea" (ps: I hope it's not considered a spam) I could really use some help, as I'm not...

Your ideas are interesting and maybe somewhat fun, but I think they'd have more of a local appeal(a Russian TV series) rather than international one, but who knows... I think you should write a pilot(the series first episode) and try to do something with it(eg: submit it to contests, send query...

In one of my screenplays, there is a scene where the main character must obtain an item from a cult leader's library(It's a Sci-Fi/Fantasy type of story...) and he already saved a few of the group members by using magical powers. However, there are a lot of them and they all stand between the...

I'm creating a character for one of my scripts who owns a (fictional) major movie studio and have a few questions about this...:) I'm sorry if some of them might sound stupid, but these are things I don't know too much about...:( So, here are the questions: 1) Would a movie studio head be able...

I've read on some websites that it shoud be placed to the left side of the page, but now, when reading an excerpt from a screenwriting book(a free preview on a website) it says you should place it on the right side. Which of these versions is correct?

These are questions that just came to me today, and, even if I may never be in this situation, it's good to know, and maybe others will benefit from the answers as well... 1. If you have a representative(manager, agent, entertainment lawyer, etc.) and they help you sell your script, do they...
