I guess there is no problem with curved monitors! Thank you for the answers! 😀

No, I have no such problems, fortunately. I can sit for 16 hours writing without any discomfort in eyes or body or fingers. But I want to buy a curved monitor, so I try to find whether the flat is preferable for writing. Is there any problem with the straight lines or the pages, which will...

Come on! I'm the first person who'll get angry if someone tell it does.. I'm talking about the comfort of watching text and writing text on your monitor. Is curved monitors a problem for the eyes?

Hello! What monitor is better for screenwriting, many hours. Flat or curved monitor and what size?

Alan Watt doesn't make a living by writing screenplays and I want to be taking what the "teachers" and "gurus" say with a grain of salt. But I guess is a tremendous discussion because I've learned everything about transforming a story to a proper screenplay from them. Here you've hit a spot. I...

I have the same issue. I write in my language and then translate it. But don't try to save money by choosing a cheap translator! My fist translator, among many other mistakes, didn't know the difference between axis and axle...

I also think my story many months before start writing. I enjoy it. I actually finish the movie in my mind and then I just describe it on paper. I was stuck, but I unstuck mainly with that video and the revealing advise that the outline, the spine of a story is the hero's arc and not the plot...

I've struggled a lot about what to cut in a long screenplay, I've search everywhere, in books and videos, but there was something missing. The real problem was that all my scenes serve the plot. I could cut about 15 - 20 pages of inefficient writing, long descriptions and such things but then I...

Valuable advises! Thank you! 🤩

I don't have a budget in mind, I would like to sell it to the director for 0$, which is give it for free and let him use it as they want. I only want credits. I see it like giving them an idea for their next movie, if they find it interesting. I don't mind at all about the country and...

I've thought all these and this is why I don't really want to direct it. I have no experience at all. I can think all the scenes in my head and my ideal situation would be to be next to an experience director to tell them my suggestions and learn from them. The truth is I'm disappointed from the...

Hello, I have a 3 pages screenplay and i would like to make it a movie. I've never made any movie. Can I pay a small production company to borrow their camera and direct it? Or where can I send it so they will make it a good movie not an armature one?

What you say about the readers seems controversial and I can't really understand it. Do only some readers or the majority of the readers have such habits like passing the first 10 pages because the more they read the more they get paid? I've actually heard and read about that countless times.

It is one thing whether your script is boring and therefore your inciting incident won't save you and another thing how the pros work in the studios. If the readers who read 8 hours a day scripts, have the habit to turn to page 10-15 to check if you even have an inciting incident there, then...

Oh... I'm doing this... and I was worried whether I should cut my first inciting incident! 🤩

Is this what Hollywood wants? Is it ok to write a screenplay with the inciting incident at page 2 and send it to agents? Aren't studio readers turning the screenplays at around page 12 to check if there is the inciting incident?

That's my prosses. I've traced the number of excess pages around the turning points. My most excess pages are in midpoint, about 50 excess pages! I also have about 15 excess pages at the 75% point... I can evaluate the pacing, f.e. after midpoint it is too slow, but it seems to me that...

Hello, I've written a script 180 pages and now I have to cut it to about 110. Do you have any suggestions on what to cut. What plan to follow to spot the unnecessary? What is considered as unnecessary in a screenplay? Also any suggestions on the strategy to follow for rewrite?
