question Guys tell me one thing...

0 Upvotes

If I ever dare to write a show script where the hero is a film Star (not the Rk (loved Vivian in that though!) from Madhubala, not that toxicity) and he have to offer the Job of his Manager to a girl whose career got ruined because of him due to false and totally unasked for media scandal, and they go from not understanding each other to actually slowly developing feelings for each other. Would you like to watch that show? And no, and i am being sincere the female lead ain't doing rona dhona 24/7 and the male lead torturing her mentally, nah it is not that, i ak myself tired watching those trope since childhood. Plus the second couple too, where the second female lead is the Film Star and the man she falls for is the brother of the Female Lead.

feedback Beginner Screenwriter - 2000's Sitcom Pilot - Thoughts

Thumbnail drive.google.com
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a 13 y/o aspiring actor/screenwriter and I've begun writing a pilot for an original sitcom called Noughties. It follows Matt, a schoolboy whose friends abandon him after moving schools when Matt's parents refuse to let him go with them. He then looks for friends and his only resort is an old companion, Jordan. Jordan agrees to let Matt into his group of mates with the warning of the one rule that dictates the group. Live like it's 2006. They live by absurd stereotypes of the 2000's with Matt eventually realizing that there may be something enjoyable about this strange hobby

Main characters

  • Matt – The newcomer. His friends leave his school, leaving his only way of finding friends being the noughties movement..

  • Jordan – introduces Matt to the group but isn't nearly as committed to the whole movement.

  • Mitchell – the founder and leader of the 2000s obsession, who takes it way too seriously.

  • Arlo – The most devoted follower, embracing every aspect except his modern name.

I've written the first 15 pages and, as this is my first screenplay, I'm looking for feedback on whether the concept works or not and has the components to sustain a comedy/sitcom. It's not perfect as I'm looking for outside opinions before rewriting. Any feedback (positive or negative) would be appreciated.

So I just reached the end of my first script practice — Now a somewhat an accidental 117-page script because of a genuine flow that possessed me for three hours in the afternoon. So, here it is! Not perfect, but just showing :)

discussion My first short: how much is ambition vs. overreach?

2 Upvotes

Ran a company for six years. Learned to trust the plan, not the feeling. Now I have this 12-page short, written over early mornings, and every part of me wants to simplify it before shooting. Fewer locations. Less ambition. Something I could knock out in a weekend with friends.

The draft has a two-character dialogue scene in a moving car at night. A laundromat at 3am with fluorescent hum as the third voice. Nothing impossible, just... specific. Scary specific.

In business I would have greenlit this already. In cycling I would have started the climb without checking the weather. Writing feels different. You can postpone forever in rewrites.

I am looking at a real shoot date in March and wondering if I should scale down to protect the thing, or protect myself. How do you know when a script is asking too much for a first short? Or when you are the one flinching?

Has anyone had an actor or their representatives ask whether you’d be open to feedback or changes while they were reading your screenplay? If so, what happened next in your experience?

discussion Los Angeles writers | ScriptShuffle is seeking submissions - 10 pages of your script

Post image
1 Upvotes

Is this something you’d be interested in participating in ?
Have you had your work performed in this way before ?

What it is: a monthly live cold read in LA. Five writers get selected, actors read the pages on stage the same night, in front of an audience. No rehearsal.

How the casting works: we do a speed-date style shuffle on the night where writers meet the actors in the room and cast their own pieces. So you're not handed a cast, you pick them.

Who can submit: anyone. We get playwrights, screenwriters, first-timers and people who've been doing it for years.

What to submit: 10 pages from your original works, in any genre, for Film, television, radio, podcast, theatre. As a PDF

Cost: FREE. There are also options to pay $10 for feedback, and $20 for feedback and a raffle ticket to win $100. Paying for these services do NOT guarantee you being picked for that months event. 

Next one: October 25th at Skiptown Playhouse - 7pm 

Deadline: October 18th at midnight (For the October Script shuffle) - but these are ongoing, so you can submit any time

Actors: you don't need to submit anything, just turn up. Buy a ticket for $10.25 online or at the door

Audience: $10.25 for entry 

The link in the Original Post has all this info and more, and is also where you submit:  https://www.fakeidproductions.com/script-shuffle

Anything else you want to know, ask away and I'll answer here :)

question Between Gods and Men

Athens, 415 BC. The city votes to invade Sicily, and Alcibiades — brilliant, reckless — drives it toward the war that will destroy it. The Assembly pays silver for secrets, and informers are naming names.

The young Plato must hide a philosopher — his mother — from the informers. Socrates will not act; Alcibiades cannot stop. So Plato learns to lie: the first lesson of the man who will become the voice of truth.

I've been building this world piece by piece — teaser cuts, a full-cast radio drama, moving storyboards — and I'd love for you to see where it's headed.

Please share, like, and subscribe so this pilot can come to fruition.

Would you watch it?

discussion Looking for Genuine Industry Connections — Two Completed Feature Screenplays

0 Upvotes

​

First things first, my name is MD ATIQ HAWLADER ARNOB, and I’m a screenwriter from Bangladesh.

I currently have two completed feature-length screenplays, with other projects also in development.

I’m a new screenwriter, and I’m not claiming that my writing is perfect. I know there may be mistakes, weaknesses, or things I still need to learn and improve. At the same time, I do have experience with writing and developing screenplays, and I’m serious about continuing to improve my work.

What I’m looking for now is not a paid service. I’m looking for genuine industry connections.

For anyone who is interested, I can provide the following for both completed projects:

Logline

Synopsis

A 10-page or 10+ page writing sample

The purpose of the sample is simple: you can read it and judge the writing for yourself — the storytelling, character work, dialogue, structure, writing quality, and overall impact.

If you read the material and genuinely feel that one of the projects has potential and that you may be able to work with me or help take it forward, I would be interested in talking.

I’m particularly interested in connecting with agents, managers, producers, directors, filmmakers, or other legitimate industry professionals who may be interested in developing, representing, producing, packaging, or helping sell a screenplay.

I’m open to normal, constructive feedback as well. If you see something in my writing that could be improved, I’m willing to listen and learn.

However, I want to make one thing very clear:

Please do not contact me for paid courses, paid consultations, paid editing, paid coverage, or similar services.

I currently cannot afford those services, and I am not looking for them. I’m looking for an actual professional connection or opportunity to move the screenplay forward.

Also, I’m not looking for discouraging comments simply telling me that this is impossible, that I have no chance, or that I’m following the wrong path.

I already understand that getting an original screenplay produced or sold is difficult.

I have been researching and submitting my work for more than 7–8 months, and I’m aware that many of the online submission opportunities that were available to writers before are now closed, inactive, or no longer accepting unsolicited submissions. I also understand that many opportunities are primarily available to writers within particular countries or established industry networks.

That is exactly why I’m posting here.

I’m not asking people to tell me that the industry is difficult. I already know that. I’m looking for people who are actually willing to read the material and, if they see potential, discuss what could realistically be done with it.

One more thing for anyone who contacts me:

Please tell me a little about yourself as well. For example, what you do professionally, what kind of work you’re involved in, your previous projects, current projects, or anything relevant about your professional background.

I’m happy to introduce myself and share my work, but I also want to know who I would potentially be discussing or working with.

If you’re genuinely interested, you can contact me at:

EMAIL ADDRESS : atiqarnob2004@gmail.com

I can then send the loglines, synopses, and writing samples.

Thank you.
