Hey guys,
I joined this forum a month ago to look for tips and advice when it comes to writing my own feature films. This forum has been better than most blogs and even some books, because a) your opinions are more current and up-to-date, and b) discussion promotes debate and consensus, whereas blogs and books often contradict one another. I'm approaching the end of my first script, which is for a psycho-thriller feature. It is relatively short for this type of film - at only 95 pages, but I'm hoping the quality is there to impress some people.
However, I have yet to do a treatment or synopsis. Can anyone give me pointers on how to perfect the perfect treatment (generic points, of course). What kind of format should they take, and how long should they be?
Also, does anyone know any reputable places / people who can review my script and offer feedback? Does this forum have a facility for people to critically review sreenplays - even if it means me having to pay a subscription?
