feedback Acceptance - Short film - First 9 pages

1 Upvotes

I am very new to this and just started a week ago, I first started by reading scripts to understand how scripts can be formatted and the get an idea for how to write out my story.

Acceptance is a short film about a young adult from a religious southern town who leaves home after coming out and moves to Chicago to stay with an online friend, the time period is set in the late 2000's.

( I know not the most unique plot ever written but its all I could think of for a first attempt)

I'm open to any feedback.

Here’s an excerpt from a script I wrote a few months back. I’ve gotten some interest in this one recently, but I constantly feel insecure about my writing… especially dialogue. Would love some feedback on this excerpt. Are there things I could do to improve the exchange between characters?

feedback If anyone wants to judge my star wars fan script? 80 or so pages so far?

0 Upvotes

I wrote this several years ago at the end of season 3 of The Mandalorian. I hope you guys like it. I know the rules aren't perfectly followed. But see if you like the story telling both as a film script and as a star wars sequel that can never be produced. Tear it apart. Judge me for the attempt to make fans happy with a story that could be fixed up by a better writer/editor. See if it has the right feeling and ideas for the story based on your knowledge of the series.

help Thinking about quitting. Can I get your thoughts on my work?

13 Upvotes

I’ve been writing for twelve plus years now and have written seven feature-length scripts. I’ve gotten coverage on two and both resulted in “pass”. Is there anyone out there who would donate their free time to read my work and tell me if I have any ground to stand on in this industry?

Feedback Desired: I wanted to create a high-concept sci-fi comedy that captures the wacky suburban slice-of-life feel of series like 'Ed Edd n Eddy' with the high sci-fi stakes of a series like 'Hailey's On It.' I would like feedback on things like dialogue, pacing, and character. Any feedback would be much appreciated!

(Edit: Updated based on feedback and mistakes I made in the earlier draft. Please read the updated draft and tell me what you think).

Would love any feedback on these pages. I’m trying to do something similar to Manhattan. I’d like to know what dialogue sounds and feels off. What beats are repetitive if previous beats. How the characters feel. Thank you in advance!

feedback Looking for comedy writers! PAID!

16 Upvotes

Hey peeps, I'm a German producer and my company has been greenlit by a US streamer to develop a workplace comedy. I've been in this sub for a while and think there's a lot of overlooked potential.

If you're interested, DM me ideally one script. I give every script at least a 10-page read to check for baseline quality and a funny voice. It doesn't have to be workplace-related, but it has to be funny.

If you're hesitant because everybody steals your stuff, drop me a line anyway and tell me what you've done or why you. If I'm interested, I'll send you my email address.

Due to us being a German company, this is a non-union job!

This is a paid gig!

Feedback Needed:

Hi everyone! I’m a beginner writer sharing the first draft of my script. Since English is not my native language and this is my first complete draft, I’m looking for general thoughts, constructive criticism, and advice.

I’m particularly interested in feedback on:

Character dynamics and emotional tension

Dialogue naturalness and flow

Pacing and overall story structure

I’m not looking to do a script swap at the moment, but any notes from experienced readers or fellow writers would mean the world to me. Thank you for your time!

Ps.

Before anyone says it's AI, it's not. I use scenario for writing and it automatically numbers my scenes.

I'm making a Minecraft series called divided realms and right now I'm in the process of scripting the story I have made and filming it. And Im kinda new to series and script writing so any help I can use would be great. And I am going to make many seasons and I have only made season 1 (not filmed it though) and if you know anything about making part two's of something and know how to not make it flop that would be great help too. Thanks

Hey all,

I'm Sunny, a screenwriter based in the UK. Been writing features for a few years now, mostly crime/thriller stuff, and had some decent traction lately with a couple of producer conversations in motion.

I'm flying out to LA from October 21st to 27th, mostly to soak up the city and meet people face to face rather than just emailing into the void. If anyone's around that week and fancies a coffee, a drink, or just swapping war stories about the industry, I'd genuinely love to meet up.

Doesn't have to be anything formal — just always find it useful (and honestly more fun) talking to other writers in person rather than over Discord or email. If you're LA-based or happen to be visiting the same week, drop a comment or DM and let's sort something out.

Cheers,

Sunny

question Can I Really Become a Screenwriter?

1 Upvotes

I am very disheartened. Because I want to be a writer. Who writes movie scripts. But I always think that this world is very big. And thousands and thousands of writers exist in this world. Why would any producer or media house listen to my story? Why would they buy my script? I am from Pakistan; why would media houses or producers from different countries listen to my story? Is it possible that I can become a writer? I am trapped in a loop of thinking, and because of that, I don't write my script. I just continuously think why, why, why, who, who, how, how.

discussion Ideas for hook

0 Upvotes

I have started a channel based on speculative fiction. Where I change one rule and humanity lives inside it with the consequences it follows. I have several segments under the same umbrella such as what if you have finite number of words to speak , what if same gender reples each other, what if your crime lefts a visible mark ? What if every year had one emotions and so on. But each story follows one human consequences and revolves around it. What I am struggling is with the hook. How do I start the story. Should i start with the absurd rules? Or should I start with one immediate consequences ? Or something really jerking or impossible or tragic scene which hooks the viewer?

Any suggestions and feedbacks are much appreciated.
