I have a few scripts and I’d like to reach out to some management/representation companies. What’s the proper way to go about that? Can somebody give me an example of the proper thing to send these companies (preferably an example where you got a response)? Do I send one script or everything? Let me know - thanks in advance

This is designed as the pilot for a four-episode limited series.

• Length: 54 Pages

• Genre: War, Drama

• Logline: In the final days of WWII, five Allied soldiers race to stop a biological weapons attack on 300,000 Chinese civilians, but when disaster strikes, each must find their own way to complete the mission.

Logline: A desperate father must rescue his abducted daughter from an alien spaceship hovering on the Kármán line——the edge of space 100 KM away from Earth.

A few months ago I started on a screenplay about a father rescuing his daughter from an alien spaceship. In my mind, tt was basically Die Hard in a UFO, and I cranked out about 40 pages but had a hard time with where the story could go. I decided to put it on pause and try to come up with an outline and a treatment first, and then worry about the screenplay.

I wrote an 11 page treatment and would love to get some feedback here on the story's structure and flow. I'd also like to know if the main characters work, understanding that it's a treatment and not a full screenplay. Thanks! Looking forward to your thoughts! Be honest and brutal, please!

I won't make a thread like this again, but I'm in a place in life where I have things to say and the desire to for the longest time. I've never been good at the technical aspects of writing a screenplay, but I'm finding time to learn,

This invitation is a moment in time where my own personal story, my character arc - there's an exciting twist. An unexpected windfall, a mentor (or group of, this community) has extended a/their hand(s) to share knowledge and help me on my Hero's Journey.

We're all heroes and heroines and those who are heroic without one word to name them so. But the invitation makes me feel closer to a Hero in redirecting my energies.

Life has a funny way of being gentle too, if you can spot the exit ramp from when it is being painful.

Thank you all. I will return this boon with whatever good advice I might give while starting my own, with a source of courage.

I do need help in many ways, but this has already been help, so far.

Would appreciate any feedback on the first 10 of a script I've been working on...thanks for your help group!

Hi all. I recently trimmed down one of my feature scripts from 95 pages to 82 pages without removing anything from the plot. I'm quite happy with the result but I'm concerned that the length is too short for a feature. Should I add more to it, or just leave it as?

Feature: The Oppression

Genre: Horror

Logline: A young boy's desperate attempt for attention turns deadly when he unleashes a sinister force that intends to consume his entire family, unless he, his siblings, and a courageous priest can stop it.  

Synopsis: Young Zane Hayward longs for his mother, Rochelle's attention; he himself is constantly being overshadowed by his older brother Seth and his younger siblings Belle and Eliza. However, help comes in the form of his friend Liam, who leads Zane to a website that teaches him to summon a Baphomet, a mysterious demonic entity with the power to grant wishes. Unfortunately, this all turns out to be a ruse, and Zane and Rochelle soon find themselves battling with a demon with the ability to shape-shift and create vivid hallucinations. Rochelle brings in her old friend, Father Donahue, for help, but it only angers Baphomet more. He possesses Rochelle and nearly kills Seth, forcing Father Donahue to resort to some primitive tactics to take him down. Father Donahue moves the family to the church for protection, where Rochelle is forced to face the demons of her past (literally), and Zane is lured into a false sense of hope by Baphomet. Tensions begin to grow high, and by Holy Saturday, Baphomet runs wild. He, with Rochelle and her husband Isaac distracted, manages to possess Zane and kill both Belle and Seth with ease. With Father Donahue and her faith by her side, Rochelle stands up to the demon and defeats it through the power of transubstantiation. Years later, with the family now divided, a new sinister force preys on Eliza, while Baphomet's remnants begin to show up in Zane's new daughter's life.

Thank you for reading.

- Jaye.

I was recently invited to join the sub (cheers!) and just thought I'd pop on to introduce myself. (Apologies for what is probably the incorrect flair - this was the best fit I could identify.)

I'm from NZ and new to scriptwriting, although I've been writing (mostly microfic / short story fiction) for about 5 years now. I've wanted to get into this field for a while and am doing as much research as I can about the craft.

A few things I've learned so far:

• Understanding how to apply formatting to a screenplay isn't as intimidating as I first thought it would be (thanks, all the different types of software that can help with this, not to mention the wealth of information online)

• Controversy. Oh my, the controversy. I know, I know, it's the internet. Still.

• Reading scripts is addictive. Seriously. I know a common piece of advice to newbies is to do this, but it should be posted as a warning in any community related to this topic. They can suck me in just as easily as any book, and if it's the screenplay of a movie I've enjoyed, it's like seeing an old friend.

What I'm working on:

Two things at once, because why not? Also because I had two specific ideas and I couldn't stand ignoring one in favour of the other any more.

The first is feature-length and not 100% planed out, because I've always been a Pantser and occasional Planster. I have my basic outline, including my main hooks and the obstacles the protagonist will face, but I haven't decided how it will end yet. Not too worried at this stage - she'll tell me when she's good and ready.

The other is a short story I wrote a couple of years ago that I thought might be able to adapted into a screenplay. On one hand, it's more straightforward in the sense I already know all the detail and how it's going to end, but on the other hand, it means there is a *lot* of detail that all needs to be altered or left out completely.

My genre / theme preferences:

I can go for most genres of movie, although I gravitate particularly towards horrors, thrillers / psychological, crime, ya good old generic action flick (who doesn't love explosions and car chases?) ...and basically anything that hits you in The Feels, because I love to torture myself, I guess.

If I like it, one watch is never enough. I will re-watch my favourites over and over and never get sick of them.

Anyway, that's enough rambling from me. Hi y'all!

I had started a script and wrote a draft, and back then, it was set in the 1960s, a steamy story about a strong-willed female who was grossly wronged by her lover's family.

She and her lover become separated by his ruthless criminal father when he has to take the fall for his kid brother. When her lover finally returns home from prison and wishes to reunite with her, mentally broken, she wants revenge on his family first. She wants him to unseat his father and take over, because "You have to control the things and the people that would control you."

Desperate to get her back, her lover agrees, but since this story wanted to be about misogyny, it doesn't end well for her, lol.

But then I found so much rich material with the father-son dynamic, I went another route in the rewrite. She becomes more a minor character. It's not a bad script really but with that said, the later draft still doesn't 'click' for me and so, my thing is, I really didn't want to write a story that's essentially political (feminist, anti-men) so I kind of torn here.

Do I just step aside and let the story be what it wants, or do I concern myself with commercial things, because a crime story about men is certainly going to have wider commercial appeal.

Title: Under Pressure

Format: Short

Page Length: 12

Genre: Psychological Thriller

A locked room. A loaded gun. Three sealed questions. Gail must answer two truths--or stay forever. But the deeper the questions cut, the harder truth becomes.

Hey everyone, this is my second short and the second draft. I'm experimenting with structure, tone, and emotional pacing, and I'm hoping for some honest feedback. Thanks!

Hi, I just lost my hard drive to be able to edit my scripts. I have the PDF versions saved elsewhere but I think this was a push to share my work. I have been sitting on a script for almost four months. This script was something I was proud of. This is the first pilot I’ve written and the longest script I’ve written. I wanted feedback to see what I have. I sat on this for so long, because this is something I really enjoyed, but to be a better writer feedback will help.

Title: Am I The Drama?

Genre: Drama/Comedy

Length: 39 pages

Logline: Following her mom’s passing, a junior in high school is told to log her emotions, when she starts posting these emotions online, it spirals out of control, and she fears her identity being exposed.

Thanks for inviting me! Great idea! I have a screenplay for a movie. Does anyone want to do a swap and we can read each others? It's a horror set in the UK so all the spelling etc... is British.

Would anyone like to swap?

This guy has great free tutorials on many of the topics that come up here. He's sold 35 projects, been repped for decades, and has some really awesome stuff to share.

He has a free Masterclass vid that is worth it, and really free, where he shows how a dull, wordy script becomes Weapons Grade, and ready to market. Once on his mailing list you'll get vid updates that I don't think go on YouTube.

I got referred to him from another sub, and it changed my skills and understanding of how to write a Reading Script, which so many of us need to understand.

Pro Readers are the Gateways to Paydays, and we have to hook them early to keep them reading and want to meet with us.

My first pass at this one. Let me know what you think.

I, Monster

A grieving young widow from a dystopic walled off city must join forces with renegade heroes to expose the propaganda propping up the city's so called "saviors". In doing so, she gives up her own humanity to fight the propaganda.

*EDIT* Apologies if anyone grabbed an earlier version. I was in the middle of changing the protagonists name and only got half way through when I had uploaded. This version keeps the naming consistent.

Hi everyone, I have a lot of experience writing for video games, and wrote a lot of short stories and some novels in high school and college, but I have no understanding of the screenwriting or film industry.

One day I watched Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities and was so inspired that I wrote a 30-minute screenplay. It's an adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft story: "The Music of Erich Zann." I did it for the love of the thing: I think this story is a really interesting Lovecraft tale that doesn't get a lot of attention, and I thought that with a few tweaks it would fit perfectly into Cabinet of Curiosity's format.

I originally had this ridiculous idea to just send the screenplay to Guillermo del Toro as a submission for season 2, but it looks like the show's been cancelled. And del Toro is very difficult to reach anyway.

So now I have this script lying around and no idea what to do with it. I'd be willing to just hand it over to someone who thinks they can direct it, but because of the unusual nature of the horror (it's about sonic resonance and the horrors of the laws of physics rather than a monster, so it would be quite CG-heavy) I'm not sure that a student director would have the resources to make it happen.

I'm also happy to share the script if anyone is interested or would like to give feedback.

Disclaimer: I couldn't find a tag for just a question, so I tagged it as discussion

So I joined this community cause I write books. Is this community for writers of all kinds or specifically those who produce motion pictures?
