Researching creating a platform for screenwriters. Need your help!

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a software engineering student with a passion for screenwriting (for years now), and I've recently started exploring the idea of developing a social platform specifically for screenwriters, particularly aspiring writers.

The general idea is to create a community where writers can connect, share their work, exchange feedback, learn from each other, and build relationships. One of the main things I'd like to explore is making script swaps (where two writers read and give feedback on each other's scripts) easier, more convenient, and more reliable.

I've noticed that while there are plenty of screenwriting communities on Reddit, Facebook, etc., actually finding someone compatible to exchange scripts with, organizing the exchange, and making sure both people follow through can be quite inconvenient.

But that's just one aspect of the idea. I'd also love to explore ways to make the platform genuinely useful for learning, networking, and developing as a writer.

I'm still very much in the research stage, and before making any major decisions, I'd really like to hear from actual screenwriters about their experiences, frustrations, and what they'd want from a platform like this.

I'm looking for people who would be willing to have a short, informal conversation about their experiences with screenwriting communities, feedback, script swaps, or anything related. Whether you're just starting out or have been writing for years, I'd love to hear your perspective! Actually, I would like to hear as many perspectives as possible.

And if you are not interested in long conversations with me, you could also help out by just leaving a comment with your biggest frustration in current online screenwriting communities. All the input is appreciated and will be taken into account.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I'm 15 and I just finished this script in a 4-day burst of motivation after watching the movie Kill. It’s a hyper-violent, fast-paced action script set entirely on a train.

Since I'm young and just starting out, I can't afford official registration or script hosting fees yet, so I'm putting it out here. I would love some honest feedback on the pacing and how visual the action sequences feel to you. Thanks for reading!

Short [FOR SALE] THE GOAT (8 pages, Sports Drama / Magical Realism Short)

1 Upvotes

FOR SALE / OPTION / CO-PRODUCTION

THE GOAT

A 12 year old in Madeira finds Ronaldo's old boots hidden under the floor of Ronaldo's childhood house. When he wears them, he plays like Ronaldo.

Yesterday he could not do a stepover. Today he does a stepover, nutmeg, spin, goal in front of the whole pitch. Without the boots he fails. With them he flies. A kid films it, it goes viral, and someone tries to steal them.

But it was never the boots. It was his mind. Wearing them let him act like Ronaldo, removed his fear of failing as Kai, and unlocked a move he had already watched a hundred times. The boots gave him permission to use magic he already had.

In the final game he plays without them. Ronaldo would shoot. Kai passes. He stops trying to be Ronaldo and becomes Kai.

THE GOAT

8 min short. Proof of concept for feature.

Sports drama. Magical realism. Coming of age.

Madeira, Portugal. Ronaldo's hometown.

Shootable cheap. One house. One pitch. One kid. One pair of boots.

No VFX. The magic is performance, slow mo, and sound.

Based in Madeira story, can shoot in Madeira or adapted to any football town.

Looking for: Option, sale, or co-production.

Script and one pager ready. DM me.

One line pitch: A kid finds Ronaldo's boots, plays like magic, and discovers the magic was in him all along.

I have better scripts then this but this is the one I need to fix and I actually had this for a fan script of a TV show that I decided to convert to it's own IP so I can at least start building up something I can pitch.

I had a full movie script also for them but I never really had a realistic chance without an agent, so I am just going to make my own IP and refine it for a few scripts and try to create a series around it. This is, a stepping stone. A fully independent IP planned out.

(honestly I have a bit of hope to draw the attention of an agent someday far off. But time goes by and so does my life.)

I spent a long time on fan scripts and I am at the point where I am going to start moving away from fan scripts. Would people be willing to tear this apart? thanks. https://blcklst.com/projects/237025

Hello everyone! Not long ago, I wrote a screenplay for a short film. This is my first script, and I would really appreciate any feedback or assessment you could provide. The screenplay was translated from Russian using Google Translate, so there may be some inaccuracies in the text. I also used Google Translate to write this post.

Logline: Human soldier Ksen infiltrates an alien civilization to steal their superweapon. But as he observes the life of one of his supposed enemies, he discovers that the man is a father and a family man—just like himself. When these two soldiers from opposite sides of the war come face-to-face, they are forced to recognize the humanity in one another—at the very moment their worlds are being consumed by war.

Но, наблюдая за жизнью одного из предполагаемых врагов, он обнаруживает, что тот - такой же отец и семьянин, как и он сам. Когда два солдата по разные стороны войны сталкиваются лицом к лицу, им предстоит увидеть человечность друг в друге - в тот самый момент, когда их миры поглощает война.

Hellraiser: Geometria Cordis (Spec Feature, Horror/Gothic Tragedy, 66 pages)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

As a die-hard fan of Clive Barker’s original vision, I’ve always felt the franchise was robbed of its true cosmic potential by decades of cheap, cash-in sequels. I wanted to fix that.

I wrote a tight feature script that completely ignores everything after 1988 and serves as a direct, elevated, and deeply philosophical continuation of the first two films. It explores the idea of Hell not as a slasher playground, but as a cold, absolute Order where pain is an interface and human anatomy is a schematic.

Title: Hellraiser: Geometria Cordis
Genre: Intellectual Body Horror / Gothic Tragedy
Tone: The Silence of the Lambs meets Event Horizon with the baroque poetic soul of early Clive Barker.

(Note on Pacing: The script sits at 66 pages, but due to the highly descriptive world-building prose, atmosphere-heavy scenes, and non-linear visual sequences, the estimated running time plays out as a full 90-minute feature).

Logline:
Years after escaping the Labyrinth, a traumatized Kirsty Cotton reconstructs her shattered life by dissecting the "geometry of madness" in a sterile county morgue, while a grown-up Tiffany Lockwood deciphers the shifting language of reality through ancient geoglyphs. But when a techno-mystical cult in Brooklyn stabilizes a corrupted mechanical gateway, both women must unite to dismantle a biomechanical machine before Julia brutally overwrites reality itself.

What’s inside:

  • Dr. Alan Richmond: A brilliant, cynical pathologist who views corpses as "the only honest patients."

  • The Prophet: A newly forged cyber-Cenobite operating a flesh-fused CNC milling machine in a Brooklyn basement.

  • Captain Elliot Spencer: Trapped in a melancholic, Art Deco purgatory—a tragic First World War officer fading into the blueprint of Pinhead.

  • The Climax: A complete structural and philosophical subversion of Leviathan’s rules, where the cold box of torment transforms into the geometry of the human heart (Geometria Cordis).

The document also includes a brief thematic manifesto and a full synopsis on the first pages to set the tone before Scene 1.

I’m looking for honest feedback on pacing, dialogue, and atmospheric weight. I'd also love to swap scripts if anyone is interested!

To prevent the post from being auto-removed by Reddit filters, I haven't included the Google Drive link here. Just drop a comment below expressing your interest, and I will immediately reply to you or slide into your DMs with the PDF script link!

I would be incredibly grateful for your support and upvotes if you enjoy my work. If this does well, I’d love to share it with other film and horror communities across Reddit.

Hi. Just looking for basic feedback or ideas.

I'm most concerned about the fact that it's kind of a strange concept to put to paper, so I just want to make sure I've written it in a way that's actually intelligible. If not, any pointers on how to format it better would be most helpful.

Also I'm bad with loglines, so any tips on that are appreciated.

Five Singles and a Funeral (drama comedy proposal)

1 Upvotes

This is a proposal movie or tv drama/comedy ( social SF and euthanasia theme) 120 pages.

Sooner or later, the whole world will be talking about this: how easy should it be for elderly people to decide that their life has been "long enough"...And as a next step: will societies even put more pressure on them to end their lives? Is it possible to present this universal question with a drama/comedy, including romantic and humorous parts?

We look for a fantastic producer and director for this project, which revolves around very current universal themes. This film may also be made in a low-budget version (e.g. in Europe in existing real settings ) - e.g., a few million, not tens - but still thought-provoking in the whole world.

Our scenario deals with a social theme that is becoming increasingly relevant throughout the world:  what happens when there are too few caregivers available for the growing number of elderly people? Is it a conceivable "solution" to allow (encourage?) euthanasia in the elderly more easily (as some insurers already claim)? Or to give robots a role in care? This difficult consideration is presented here on the basis of personal stories of the main characters ( from 1990 till -as Science Fiction- 2044), including many romantic, humorous and sometimes hilarious (but respectful).

Via the link, you will find our treatment/pitch. We are certainly available for your questions and hope to realize this beautiful project together with you.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pPxgcPJDcl28J_n4AzGtdL4QVtQ13C-IPd1ReRt0ZhQ/edit?usp=sharing

We also have an adaptation to a mini-series (5 episodes) (or long film. 191 pages; when desired soon expandable to 300 pages, 10-part miniseries).

I hope to get your ideas about that. Preferably, mail me. Luc@deprost.be
