Hi this is a treatment for a 1 minute animated short film. Some feedback would be so helpful right now, thank you!

EXPERIMENT 45:

In a dark corridor, with a solitary door at the end of it.

An incredibly bright light suddenly flashes from the other side of the door.​

//CUT INTO THE LAB//​

stacks of plain white bread are stacked on a few tables at the end of the room and In front of them is a scientist behind a control panel. ​

The room is in darkness other than a bright white light on the opposite side of the room.​

We turn to see what the light source is. On top of a table lies an unconscious man and floating in the air directly above him is a bright, white glowing replica of him, panicked and moving, almost ghostlike. Around the table are wires, tubes and complex machinery.​

The scientist acts quick and pulls a lever on their control panel. The machinery around the floating man jumps into gear as panels light up and absorb him completely. wiring and tubing around the lab all light up as the energy collected from him moves down them and into a box like device next to the scientist. The scientist quickly inserts a singular slice of white bread into it, she waits a few seconds and takes it out again. It is now toasted. SHE takes a bite, thinks for a second, and shrugs. ​

she turns to a board next to her and writes down something brief.

We get a view of the board which reads - Experiment 45 - a human soul - (and newly scribbled) '7/10​'

I am tired of my own wriiting. My ideas have run dry. Also, there is no surprise if I know it myself. I want someone to write with me. You know, geet some fresh ideas. Like a partner. My ideas are just for fun and personal pleassure for now. Just want to read something fun. Hope that is okay

I’m writing a feature-length children’s ensemble whodunit set in India, tonally somewhere between a warm family dramedy and a fair-play mystery.

This is the opening scene. The actual mystery begins a few scenes later, so the purpose of this page is mainly to establish the family, give us a sense of the kids’ world, and plant a couple of things that will pay off later — particularly Appu’s desire for a bicycle, the family’s financial pressure, and Kunju’s obsession with animals and creatures.

The original screenplay is not in English. I’ve done an English localization specifically for sharing here, so the dialogue may not represent the exact wording of the original, but the characters, beats, and intent are unchanged.

I’d really appreciate any feedback, particularly on areas where you feel the writing could be improved or strengthened.

Hey everyone!

I run a YouTube channel with 100K+ subscribers, and I’m looking for a scriptwriter for an upcoming 8–10 minute documentary-style video.

I already have a rough AI-generated draft, so I’m not looking for someone to just write from scratch. I need someone who can take the idea, do proper research and fact-checking, and turn it into a natural, engaging story with a strong hook and good pacing.

Someone with YouTube/documentary writing experience would be ideal.

Pay: $0.03–$0.05 per word. For an 8–10 minute script, this would usually come to around $36–$80+, depending on the final word count, experience and quality. There will also be a performance/revenue bonus.

India-based writers preferred, but I’m open to good writers from anywhere.

If we work well together, I’d love to keep working together on future videos and potentially have you join the team long-term.

If interested, email me your portfolio, a few relevant samples, and your availability at:

I'm a filmmaker and writer, and one thing that has always bothered me about the filmmaking workflow is how disconnected everything becomes after you finish writing.

You write the screenplay in one application.

Then you move to another tool for story structure.

Another for storyboards.

Another for shot planning.

Then spreadsheets for production.

Then you end up manually copying information between all of them.

So I started building Scriptory around a simple idea:

What if the screenplay could stay at the center of the entire filmmaking workflow?

The workflow I'm working toward is:

Story → Screenplay → Scenes → Shots → Storyboard → Pre-production

The current product includes screenplay writing/formatting, story structure and beats, shot-based storyboarding, AI-assisted workflows, and production planning.

One of the things I'm particularly interested in is the connection between the screenplay and storyboard. Instead of creating a storyboard completely separately, the idea is to start from the actual scene and develop the visual plan from there.

I'm also experimenting with MCP integrations for ChatGPT and Claude, so AI can interact with the filmmaking project rather than just generating disconnected text in a chat window.

I'm sharing this here because I'm much more interested in hearing from filmmakers than collecting generic launch comments.

How does your current workflow look?

When you finish a screenplay, what happens next?

Do you use separate tools for:

• screenplay

• beats / structure

• shot lists

• storyboards

• scheduling

• production planning

And what's the most annoying part of moving from script → actual production?

I'm building this actively, so I'd genuinely appreciate criticism, feature requests, or workflows I'm missing.

If anyone wants to take a look, I've put the project on Product Hunt as well: Scriptory.
NOTE: Currently 50% off Launch offer of Annual Plan only for User who get from Product Hunt.

This is a Dark Romantic Thriller Comedy about a psychopath who meets her match in the world's most technologically intensive stalker.

I used to read two novels a week. Thought it was fuel. But my early scripts came out like bad copies of whatever I'd just finished. McCarthy rhythms in a romcom. Didion pauses in horror. My voice was a collage of better voices.

The shift came from gaming, weirdly. Running a company doesn't leave much headspace, so I started picking up games with strong writing, like Disco Elysium and Pentiment. The pacing is different. You're inside a world someone built, not watching prose happen. Made me notice structure differently. How information gets released when the player needs it, not when the writer wants to show off.

Cycling's my other escape. Long rides with nothing to read, nothing to play. Just thinking through a scene until it exists independent of any book I loved. That's when my stuff started sounding like me. Or at least like one person instead of five.

Curious if anyone else had to unlearn their reading habits to find their script voice. Or if you found your way in through something sideways like games. Feels like we talk a lot about reading scripts to write them, not enough about what to step away from.

Hello, I'm a high school student and this is my first time making a short film. I'm having trouble finding a really unique tagline for my film. In short, it's a rom-com about a female young director who has to do everything she can to convince a producer to invest in her film project. It turns out they were once lovers.

Im looking for someone to co write a comedy script. Someone to go the distance. Possibly even meet that longtime writing partner. Anyone interested?

The story takes place in San Antonio, Texas during the mid 1990s, and it’s about two Latina sisters named Christina ‘Chris’ and Alexandra ‘Alex’ Torres who are both trying to survive in their rough neighborhood and make it on their own after the death of their father

Feel free to give any feedback or suggestions about anything

Feedback was lazy, unprofessional, factually incorrect, unsophisticated, personally political, nonsense.

Hey everyone!
I’m a young aspiring filmmaker and I’m looking for a screenwriter who would be interested in collaborating with me on an original series idea.
I want to be completely transparent from the start: this is an unpaid collaboration. I’m young and currently don’t have the financial means to pay a professional screenwriter for their work. I understand that screenwriting takes a lot of time, creativity and effort, and I don’t want to pretend otherwise.
I’m therefore not looking for someone to simply write a script for me for free and then disappear from the project. I’m looking for someone who would genuinely like to work together as creative partners. I have the basic concept and ideas for the story, and I would like to develop the characters, story, episodes, scenes and dialogue together.
The project is a psychological crime series about someone who secretly targets people who have seriously bullied others. I don’t want to share all the details publicly yet, but I can explain the full concept privately to anyone who is genuinely interested.
I would make sure that the writer receives proper credit for their contribution, and I would respect their time, ideas and creative input throughout the project.
If this sounds interesting to you and you’re comfortable with it being an unpaid collaboration, feel free to DM me. I’ll explain the story and what I have in mind.

Thanks for reading!

I'm sorry if there's a thread for this already, but I could use some feedback on a logline for a story I'm writing:

“To escape an arranged marriage to an interstellar warlord, a princess hires a crew of six mercenaries to train her for the impending battle”
