Hi Boz Uriel: What comes to my mind is "Twelve Angry Men" in one room with Henry Fonda, holding out on a hung jury. Concept of one room was fantastic, argument was logical, lasted for more than ten minutes. Satire

I also agree with Shaw who stated: "I definitely think focusing on story is a good idea though and should be the basis on which the screenplays are judged." Satire

Hi Boz Uriel I have completed six screenplays, One very low budget, four mid budget anad one $100.000.000.00 plus. I haven't given up on production of a film, but for insurance have converted all to novels. So your advice above is sound. Satire

Hi Zensteve: It is easy to write screenplays, very hard to sell screenplays. Neither are a Science! Selling is who you know! Do they teach scientists, who you know? Ha! Satire

Hi Boz Uriel. Thanks for the compliment. I am not a member of WGA. I still await a signatory company to puchase one of my six completed screenplays. With that accomplished, I need to write a check for $2,500 to become a WGA Member. Currently there is an Animation Company in India requesting...

Ruggerio Leoncavallo, wrote Pagliacci. The first performance was in 1890. Today most experts ranked it as one of the top ten operas of all time. Philip Goulding, an expert, ranks it #8. Clowns typically can make you laugh. They are very funny. Your story so far in what I read is comedy...

To all you artists! To all you artists: Time to inject a little humor into this thread. Edgar Degas did a few self-portraits, one of which is the only Degas painting at the Getty Museum in LA. I have copies of most of them, he had a straight long Roman Nose and always appeared aloof. One...

Hi Donniker137 It pleases me to se so many people trying to offer you help. I really believe you are on to something worthwhile. If you have never seen the Opera Paliacci, rent it at a video store, it is very short and see for yourself the parallel of your script of the unhappy clown Temple...

I suggested you get rid of the bathroom scene entirely, it does nothing for the script except slow it down. It has been done too often before. Now that you explain a need to change the name, Templeton is okay, Pepito is ethnic and also okay and the last name shows little purpose. Ttry...

The comedy was better without the name change to Temple and this unnecessary fire scene which is not comedy and detracts from the story. Hopefully it is not another "American Pie" Sometimes a cut makes the story better. Satire

Hi Donniker137: It made me laugh. The slapstick style humor can be visualized just reading it. You seem to know a lot about clown's feelings and behavior. Did you once work for a carnival or circus? There is as much sadness as humor in your script. The clown wants out. An unhappy clown...

Matt Milne wrote, Love Theme Music for "Mt. Soledad Love Story". He not only offered his services at no charge but received rave reviews from those fortunate enough to read the script and and listen to his work. I highly recommend Matt to screenwriters, directors and producers needing a...

Fiction holds little interest for me as there is so much that is true in life that needs to be on film. So Historical Drama and Biography would be high on my list with comedy a close second as in Drama with a sense of humor. True stories also include Action, War, History, Love Stories, Murder...

Hi Alexpw: Great advice from FilmJumper. I should follow the same advice. Satire

Hi Treschic Film Studios and others interested. The trick is to find a great screenplay by an unknown writer! Then you can use the WGA small budget contract explained herein. Selling Your Screenplay When the Budget's Way-Low Theatrical screenwriters realize the lower a film's budget...
