And by the way, has anyone watched something like this! I know there should be one. Please let me know, I would love to see it.

While in a bus, this idea just zoomed in and I thought over it. Being a low budget indie, I decided i should let it go, but not just like that - For anyone with more gut. Here we go; Our star is a retired CEO who has given up his career. He was CEO for a couple of companies where his success...

I have seen it in a great many scripts. They usually capitalize Very important actions in a scene. And it is not reserved to well established writers. And i do it quite often too. It could be a small action like a character slipping a ring into their pocket. But if it is the one thing that turns...

Your idea is great. When I set my eyes on it in the first line it had me thinkinh - WHY? But let me be honest about what i think! Zensteve is right. The script starts right in the action and ends somewhere within the action. They have told us the reason for looting these graves - Which is...

In film, rules have been broken everywhere, from lighting to editing and Screenwriting is no exception. But first, you have to master the rules so you can tell when to break them. In my own view, most successful stories are plotted against the 3-act structure if scrutinized. The writers will...

Outlines for scripts work like key frames in animation. You write out your scenes in an outline(I rarely exceed four lines). Some scenes will be combined into one outline (For example all the scenes of your character driving back home with nothing remarkable happening within could be - Deri...

(Sorry its rather long). Everything you put down on script is a product of your imagination. Although inspired by real world events, events in a script are manipulated by the writer to the interest of your story. This may lead to a non-linear, and unnatural flow of events in such a way that may...

I would write too but i would be just a reproduction of Brian's. That is enough to tell your Director just exactly what to tape.

I get too lazy with a pen and paper. Not to mention how much I have to spend buying those small wands one after losing another. Given ideas keep popping into my mind quite often, I have found my sound recorder app on my phone very helpful. Sometimes I record a whole 2 minute's dialogue from a...

You are then adopting your own story. And the way to go about this is to forget you ever wrote it. Treat it as a new idea. Let your 20 pg script be a reference to the script you want to develope. Like it was staff you noted down just to prepare yourself. If you want to expand it your 20 pg...

Making it through an agent is the last thing I would opt for in hollywood. Those guys are hypocrites who think they can tell your whole script by looking at the cover page. I got involved with an agent once but regret it to this day. He wasted four months of my good time instead of being...

Winning a contest is the best way to penetrate the industry. You don't walk away with cash - You walk into the industry with cash. Here are a few re known contests. - The Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting is the Industry's leading contest for screenwriters I guess. It is administered by the...

Am speechless. I have been working on a script three months now and figure out I have at least another two months before I consider calling it a first draft. I have a couple of ideas but cant jump into them cause to me, that would be a distraction. I would really like to look at your work...

Thanks everyone for the encouragement and advice.

-Of course if he is keeping that evidence which is some sort of document. We as the audience shall be waiting to find out how important that document is to him. We start to imagine there is info he too needs real bad from that document. Info he needs for something. *Or may be - being in...

Thanks

Its a feature film. Aproximately 120 mins.

How I would shoot it on a low budget.

I am working on a screenplay that am sure I will produce and direct myself. Its about a guy who has been having a blind date on the internet and the movie starts when he is going out to meet his date. However, his car breaks down and has to hitch hike. He finds himself being helped by a cute...
