From Short Scripts to Feature Length

When I was a teenager I first attempted a feature length script. From memory it was a sci-fi comedy/parody that took a lot of sci-fi films and turned certain scenes from them into something funny. I can't remember how many pages I ended up typing but I want to say it was more than 40, however I never finished it. I don't even have it any more. And, I haven't attempted a feature length script since (I'm now in my early 30s). But I think I have found a short script of mine that I can turn into a feature length one, and now I want to make another attempt at a feature length but this time I want to go through with it.

Who else has experienced something similar, and what kind of script was it that you wrote for your first feature length one?

Hi.

The weirdest things in my life have happened around my attempt to write that first feature. The story is about a red Porsche being stolen and I immediately knew from which parking spot it'd be stolen in the city where I wasn't even from. I didn't know how to structure a movie, so I got to page 20 or something and realized that no matter what I do now the story will get boring. That intrigued me, so I decided to spend as much time it takes to figure out how the real writers do that.

One day I moved to this town and by coincidence the apartment I got was located on first floor, exactly where that car was stolen in my story. I obviously decided to finish the script in this apartment. The day I got the second draft ready it got even creepier. As I went out there stood a red Porsche parked in that exact spot. That was 1999. 2013 I finished the script in a way where I am fully satisfied. The best I've got.
 
It seems like you were meant to write that screenplay then Filman :)

I recently did a writing course. Not for screenwriting but for novel writing. One of the things I can carry over from that course is a way that I can approach my scriptwriting. The main reason I have stuck with writing short scripts all these years is because they didn't seem as daunting to me to write but now with this new approach I can flesh out my stories even more so they can be feature length.
 
My first feature was based on a short I made too. I did two short films based on Little Red Ridding Hood, but the twist was that the wolf was a cannibal named Wulf. For the feature version, I used the basic format of Friday the 13th, and established more the cannibals story and such. Worked out pretty well.
