Directors, producers...filmmakers.

I write all the time and I have plenty of scripts to get rid of, I'm willing to make a deal. Talk to me... at streitkreyz@yahoo.com

SKZ

i just love your confidence buddy. I have added you by the id

adeel_akhter45@yahoo.com



not now but may be later we might work together

Thanks dawg. I appreciate that.

I'm driven and I NEED a great writer. I, too, am passionate about succeeding
and don't want to be small-time any longer.

I'm looking for an excellent high school comedy. "American Graffiti", "Fast Times"
good. A script that will attract the top young talent of today, something that will
make them want to sign on based on the excellent writing, hysterical scenes and
iconic characters.

I'm looking for then next big idea in horror. Something that will change the direction
of the genre the way "Night of the Living Dead" did in the late 60's - the way
"Halloween" and "Texas Chainsaw" did in the 1970's - the way "A Nightmare on Elm
Street" and "Friday the 13th" did in the 80's and the way "Saw" did more recently.

Welcome to the club. ;)

Do you have any writing samples showcasing your brilliance?

VPturner has asked a great question. we will love to read something from your treasure.

Well fellas, you can email me at streitkreyz@yahoo.com so I can get your email address to send you something.

Thank you

Before I send you an email do you have any finished script that meet my criteria?

Directorik, I do not have anything complete that meets your criteria. Having said that, I believe the skill of a writer should supercede genres. I know you would expect nothing less than the best, and that is what I would present, and that is why I suggested a fresh new idea, to write what the fillmmaker wants to make. My execution as a writer is sharp, of course you don't know that, so, I would suggest that you read one of my scripts. It's copyrighted and a certain agent is looking at it now. It is a different category than what you cited, but it will give you an idea about my skill.

I have a concept in mind that is different and that could bring something new to the big screen. You may have to be really bold to take it on.

lydeanphoenix, that is why my friends call me Streit-Krey-Z. Lay it on me brother. Also, give a budget bracket, 'cause writing is best from a directorial pov.

I believe the skill of a writer should supercede genres.

So do I.

But right now I am looking for specific scripts because I have distributors
looking for specific genres.

Which script of yours shows your writing at its best? What catagory
does it fall into?

Directorik....It's Action. A huge part of Horror is action, timing and suspense. Again, the reason I posted this ad is because writing what I want is not the point and it doesn't profit me nor the filmmaker. I don't know what distributors are looking for, otherwise I would've had that ready, filmmakers are likely to know better because they are directly linked with distributors.

I'm trying to establish what the market demands and respond to that. Just like a filmmaker, if they make a nice movie but it's not what the market is looking for, then it will sit on the shelf.
I'm not the kinda guy that wishes and hopes, I implement, I initiate. I hope less and act more. With this posting, I'm trying to initiate that process of supply and demand, instead of suppling what's not in demand.

SKZ.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm still open for bidness, anybody serious?.....

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm still open for bidness, anybody serious?.....

Which script of yours shows your writing at its best? What catagory
does it fall into?

Directorik...
The title is "Stealing Twice"
It is in the Action genre.
It's Jet Li's "War" meets Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill". Perfect for the big screen with the right cast.

With your "brilliant" writing skills, and this guy's fantastic composing skills [http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=14341], and me as a director, we can go pretty far :)

anthonyronnie...

Let's do this. I'm assuming that you're serious, 'cause I am. Let's set up something. When and how?

SKZ

Can somebody really, really serious respond. Not someone who is contemplating the "idea" of being serious.

Thank you
SKZ

SKZ,

I am really, really serious. I'm not contemplating the "idea" of
being serious, I'm actively looking for an excellent script.
Unfortunately I'm currently developing a project from an excellent
action script by writer Daniel Benton so your "War" meets "Kill
Bill" script isn't what I can use.

But it doesn't mean I'm not really, really serious. I'm sorry you
think I'm just fooling around. I apologize for taking up your
time and highjacking your thread.

-rik

Directorik...

Ma man, I'm not implying that you in particular are not really serious, I'm stating that anybody who projects an interest should accurately point their position. If somebody is doing something else in the meantime, like you are, or what I have is not what they are looking for, they should point that out, like ad2478 said, "not now, maybe later we can work together", instead of for example...
saying, "We can go far", or "What do you have?" and then not respond whether that is what they want or not. Or, "I have a great idea to write about", then I say, "lay it on me", then they don't respond....

That is what I mean. If anybody initiates an interest, conclude your case, not by wishing or hoping or implication, but by CONTENT (not idea) OF INTEREST, WHERE, WHEN, WHAT AND HOW. I pressume that is clear, with all due respect.

SKZ
p.s. Enjoy the project dawg, I'd like to see the finish product, and I intend to do colaborate with you when I have something that catches your interest, 'cause I think you really enjoy and are focused on making it big. I've already started writing a sci-fi action for the big screen.

well SKZ......... the thing is that the way you have posted your first post it had created some serious suspense.we wanted to see your work. and we are not denying that we would love to work with you. but the thing is that over here there are 2 groups. majority are new comers which are seeking knowledge at the momment and second group is of professionals. now young comers cannot staright away start a production. on the other hand the seniors and pros are already involved somewhere(ofcourse they are in the field so they have tight and busy schedule) so they cant start a new projects straight away. we asked for the sample of work because if anyone of us may have aplan in future he can directly contact you.

you will have to understand that the way you posted the thread everybody was interested to see your work plus asking your sample of work means that we are interested. because if we were not interested why would we have spend time on reading your script?? majority people here are from US and we all know US people are too busy with toght schedule. And if they are indie people then they are more busy then even speal berg. The reason is that speal berg has safe income resources so he doesnt have to worry about work but indie people have less and unstable income resources so they try to get booked for much mor longer period. so if they are asking for sample it means they are interested in your work but making a new project specially for indie people isnt so easy that we get a script today and start tomorrow. only BIG pro houses or studios have this potential.

ad2478
Ma man, I am quite aware of everything you just pointed out. I don't think though that you understood me. I was stating that a good example of responding to an ad, like you said, "I would like to see your work, but I'm busy with something else right now", is precise and appreciated.
A bad way though is to say, "I have skill, I like your skill, we could make a good team". What is it? a compliment? a proposal? a wish? a dream? I don't know what this person is implying, it's vague. That is what I mean by a bad response.
If someone wants to see my work, and yet they aren't ready to do anything. It's cool with me. I'll send you my work, just say exactly that. I do understand that people have different schedules. That is why I am concise. I'm also an editor, so being straight to the point is a virtue.
Thanks my friend, enjoy your holy month.

Hello All

I am a new member of this forums , and didnt have time to cruse around , hope i am posting this in the right place .

If i have an idea for a movie that i think its gona work :D .
where do i go ?

I already spoke to a ScreenWriter and he told me to get it writen somewhere , either as a script or a story to be converted to a script later ,
i am no writer . not a good one at least ,

so any ideas how to get my idea to life ! :)

Thanks

lydeanphoenix

Is that question directed at Directorik or me?

As the old saying goes, ideas are a dime a dozen. It's the execution of that idea the sells (or could). And you can't copyright an idea, either. If you were to write it down on paper (or type it up instead of verbalizing it) how many pages would it fill? If you fill 1 out of 120 pages, does that mean you are only entitled to 0.833% of anything that comes of it? I'm sure you understand the problem. The majority of work involved in screenwriting (or any writing, really) is not coming up with ideas. It's coming up with a completed work in which someone would want to invest time and money to make into a film. And hopefully that film would find an audience to recoup that investment.

If you told your idea to five different writers, you'd end up with five very different films in execution.

So, what you need to do is find a collaborator who is willing to help you flesh out that idea. I'm sure there are many writing partnerships in which one is a writer and another just a sounding board and brainstorming department (that's how I wrote my first script, giving an associate "Story By" credit to my collaborator). Get as much of that idea as possible executed on paper so you have enough to copyright. Otherwise, the idea isn't worth much, unfortunately.

Which script of yours shows your writing at its best? What catagory
does it fall into?

All my writing is superb ma man...I've been writing some that's why I've been away Mr. directorik.

Anyway filmmakers, I have more scripts, drama, action and horror, including a blockbuster, that i'm concluding the editing process on, it's in the tradition of Independence Day and Godzilla. Next I will embark on a romance feel-type...it's that season...what can I say...

Let's not waste time ladies and gentlemen, let's conversate...

I'm looking for a filmmaker to partner with, a bidnes venture. No hijackers, no fooling around...only serious minds, driven to succeed. You don't have to be the best filmmaker yet. believe me you'd get there if we partnered, otherwise you'd feel awful for ruining a perfect script...haha. holla...

Let's not waste time ladies and gentlemen, let's conversate...

I’m with ya, SKZ. I don’t want to waste time which is why three
months ago I asked you which script shows your writing at its best.
I didn’t ask if all your writing is surburb - I assume it is.
What I’m interested in, is what script YOU feel shows your
talent and skills at their best.

My question still stands.

directorik...
Each script is different, with a life of it's own, it's like picking between milk and dark chocolate. They're all delicious.
Why don't we do this...if you're honestly serious, not just killing time with a lot of questions, no offense ma man...give me an email address, I'll close my eyes, pick a script and email it to you. Then you can tell me what you think, maybe I can alleviate your apprehension...
holla

No thanks, SKZ. That's not the way I want to read a script. Using your
analogy: I'm not interested in milk chocolate, I want dark. I don't want
a writer who cannot show me (a producer) what I want, but will just
randomly choose a script for me to read - a script I may not even be
able to produce.

As I've said before, I'm very serious and actively looking for scripts to
produce. This is the second time you've suggested I'm not what I say
I am.

Fair enough. For the second (and final) time, I will apologize to you for
stepping in. It won't happen again.

Mr. directorik
ma man, I'm a simple and logical man, my comprehension of persons is exceptional...

that being said, the implicit logic here is that you want me to give you my "best script". My best in what genre? what price range? what budget?

it's like coming to a lot and say, "i want the best car." do you want an expensive porsche or lower priced jaguar? you consider the look, engine size and your pocket.

I don't want to send you a $500 g's budget when you want to work with $100 g's, or send you a horror when you want a romance. you see my stall?

give me your email and describe your "dark chocolate" script, because if you don't describe it, i might as well close my eyes and pick any. best case...you can afford it and produce it and be on the charts. worst case...you don't like it, you find one that you like somewhere, right?

so, you want hersheys kisses...haha or hersheys symphony. do you want a jaguar that you can afford to make a down payment on and insurance and subsequent payments, or do you want a porsche that you can make a down payment on, but then you can't make subsequent payments and insurance, then it's finally repo'ed?

I apologize for my cut-to-the-chase, straight shot form, no disrespek brother. I hope we can still interract. it is civil after all...formulae may be different, but they can give the same answer.

VPTurner

thanks for the update playa.

three months ago, directorik posted that quoted response to my add... so then...

I relayed that at the time I had "action" not horror. so he mentioned that he preferred horror, he had an action he was currently working on. I suggested to write a fresh"horror" for him sighting that, though i enjoy writing action, horror would be no hill, after all, horror has action, he didn't respond to my suggestion.

He proceeded to ask me what my best script was and what genre it was, i stated "I have an action", which at the time an agent was checking out, which was my latest work. directorik persisted on the same question, "what script shows your best work? what category is it?" again i repeated my previous response, i even gave the title. The first 21 posts in this thread are just that.

So....

teaming up means...you ask me for a specific type of script, if I have it, i give it to you. if i don't, i ask you to give me a few days to write it, you say, "i give you two weeks", I say, "thank you, that's plenty time". In the meantime, you enjoy reading one of my finished scripts, different genre, but that's okay, you're just tasting the goods, right?

I write, I give you a finished product. you either like it or throw it at my face...nah, I'm playing...haha.

Anyway, that's what it is. I supply you with the best scripted ideas of any genre or budget. if i don't have it ask me to write it. you're happy, you make me happy....So, let's simplify things gentlemen. I like you guys, let's do this...i hope this was implicit.

kindly
SKZ

Well, then, why don't you pitch him a horror story idea or a teen antics flick? If he likes it, write a draft. If not, pitch another. Keep pitching until you find a winner, then write that one.

Meantime, a writing sample showing your work at its best (even if it's a love story) would give him an idea of your voice, style, level of experience, etc. Most spec scripts never sell, but they do open the doors to writing scripts that do. If you build enough of a reputation where you can actually take that pitch and turn it into a workable draft, then you can go to a pitch session and walk away with a check to go write the draft. Until then, you write the draft on spec. And if they don't like it, you have something else in your bucket to show other potential buyers. If they like enough of it, this is where you show you can take direction. Listen to the comments. Some producers may already have attachments looking for the right story. If you can tailor it to their attachments based on feedback after the draft, congratulations. You've just taken a major step towards becoming a produced screenwriter.

VPTurner

Thanks for the insight...fortunately or unfortunately, that is what I've been trying to initiate. I had wanted to send him that script that I sent to you...by-the-way, I hope you enjoyed it, let me know...but my request to do that was never reciprocated. In the meantime I would draft him something that I think he would like.

Even though this avenue sounds more like "hollywood style", I'm willing to go with it because, in this forum, unlike hollywood, there's a better chance of production of specs, even if it's a smaller scale. In hollywood you have to make friends, and then pitch, which now, i'm about a step and half to accomplishing after two years. I'm about to pitch a sci-fi blockbuster.

In any case, here, you pitch and then make friends, avoiding the politics. which at times you can't avoid.

so, I'm willing to send that one I sent you, and in two days present him a quick, low budget, but interesting draft.

well, thanks again for the input dawg.

You have to make friends in the independent world, too. ;) Hollywood style or not, you want to avoid anything that screams "amateur". Many independents also have a foot in the Hollywood system and as such they expect the same level of professionalism with whom they choose to do business.

One other tidbit, when sending scripts it's best to send them in PDF format so they are universally readable without the need to download converters.

And you're welcome. Peace out.

VPTurner

I intend to make friends ma man, I do. The quality of the friendship is what I value most, and that comes from somebody appreciating my work for its quality and professionalism, the reverse applies too, but not me kissing ass to make friends, who will then produce my scripts.

With the format...ma bad dawg...haha. I must have quickly clicked a different format to send, I always send pdf. I just save in multiple different formats for back ups. I can still send you a pdf if you still prefer.

On the flip, ma doppler is picking a vibe like you want me to really succeed...ain't nothing wrong with that...if I'm not trippin, then good looking bra, holla if I can assist you in anyway.

I can't believe you guys are still listening to SKZ. Obviously he has nothing and if he possessed material of the quality he says he does he would not still be beseeching an online forum for business deals. Not to mention the fact this great writer expresses himself as is he were a teenager. Anyone that is talented and serious about a business venture will be out in the real world meeting people face to face. I would stop wasting your time and take a minute to think and act logically. Those are my thoughts from stumbling upon this discussion.

Well...I'm going to wait to reply to this so that if there's any other pyschics like you who wish to vent out can do so...In the meantime, I'll go have some gin and juice. But, while I do that, consider taking on a new nickname..."IDIOT".

A teenager? huh. I haven't been one in so many years. I guess being a black man and using a friendly tone prequalifies one to be a teenager. Maybe I should try and present myself as a "sophisticated literate" and use big words, but then I'd be a nineteen year old freshman trying to impress my college professor. And, your implication that indie isn't the real world is true, but that's because of clowns and morons like you who make it a joke and a mockery by picking on anybody you know absolutely nothing about. In the "real world", I'm currently editing a script that my agent is going to be pitching in 53 days from today while you amuse yourself by speculating from responses from other incoherent stoners like yourself who divert from the subject and use the word "logic" illogically.

By doing so, you entertain spineless, vagrant comedy-seekers like EvsFX08 who will laugh at their own inadequate privates while they publicly claim otherwise. So, quit stumbling onto threads and do something with your life, start by fixing your grammar. Oh...and that kid, MacV, he's just trying to convince himself that he's not a wigga, a wannabe for that matter. At home, he hangs with his friends saying "dude" all the time and then goes to school and tries to be "proper", acting like he hangs with Scorsese and drinks wine with prince Charles.

Kids, this forum is not a circus, don't make it one.

Now...Can I get a serious filmmaker please.

Ok ,ok I get it everyone, SKZ is actually a genius. We've been asking to see his script, but he's been posting it all along in this Thread. The above quote is obviously dialogue from one of his "great" scripts, no one on this forum would be so brazenly disrespectful, right? So, in doing so, let me critique this "script" of his.

SKZ- To make it a little bit more entertaining and theatrical, you should have added a couple more derogatory adjectives when insulting me, for instance, you should have added .....balding, middle-aged, disgruntled, cuckolded, spineless, vagrant comedy-seekers..... now, see how I added a few more words to provide more of an impact and a better visual of a pathetic little suburban white man being accosted by a Thug? Now that's a good script right there.
And as for the insult to MacV, well, at least he's actually produced a decent film and welcomed critiques from us all, where is a sample of your work for us to critique?
You know, if you listened to those on this forum who have actually been in the film business such as VPTurner and Directorik and take their advice, you might be surprised at how successful you may become. My business took a drastic turn for the better after listening and asking questions to those who know a lot more than I do. If you put as much effort into a script as you do with your teenaged insults, disrespectful rhetoric, and empty promises of samples, I believe you may actually attract a serious filmmaker someday, not today, but someday. Keep working on it though, you'll get there. Unfortunately, this Thread has lost all value, time to move on. But, thank you again for the entertainment that you provided us-"ma' man". Peace out.

EvsFX08

Those who requested scripts from me, I have sent them samples. I will not mention them so I can avoid dragging them into this. And, I am aware of the success of the mentioned individuals. In any case, you win. This thread is ended.

If any filmmakers wish to do business or request a script, email me at streitkreyz@yahoo.com. I do appreciate those of you who have.
