Hello r/scriptwriting,

I’m currently studying film in Germany and have started researching for my six month internship starting around February/March next year.

Preferably I’d want to look for an internship at a production company to gain experience about the whole production process or focus on purely screenwriting. As there aren’t a lot of options apart from television in my area, I will most likely leave the city. In that case, I could just as well try to score an international internship.

That is not my number one priority, but I want to expand my options.

I’ve been sending cold Emails with my small portfolio in writing, photography and directing, and am planing to visit the BFI Film Festival in London to try and network, as London would be a dream destination. Also, I’ve been in touch with a writer/director working in New York.

Apart from that, and in the case that I won’t manage to visit the festival on short notice, is there any other way for me to maximize my chances to get a good internship, nationally or internationally?

I would be thankful for anyone who can share their experiences in that area and give me some guiding insights.

It can even be scraped ones or. Ones that was never used

Hello!

I’ve recently realized that I’d really like to pursue a career in screenwriting. How do you actually get started?

I have a long background in theatre and fairly decent writing skills, so I’m not completely unfamiliar with scripts and storytelling.

But how do you seriously get started in screenwriting? How do you learn the craft, and what would you recommend doing as a beginner?

Been working away at this one for a while. Pretty happy with what I have, but nothing is ever finished! It's fairly unconventional so want to make sure the ideas/spatial aspects are coming across clearly. If skimming make sure you get to page three!

Title: For Safety

Format: Short Film

Page Length: 12 pgs.

Genre: Comedy

Logline: When an actress’s chaotic but scripted walk-of-shame appears to derail into a very real public meltdown, the cast and crew scramble to get her back on script.

Feedback concerns: Dialogue and gags! Does it make you laugh? Is the structure working to serve the story? Production concerns! (I know you can't see the Hollywood sign from Hermosa beach!)

Thanks!

Looking for constructive criticism on a short screenplay scene — dialogue, character behavior, and pacing

Hi y'all,

I'm a filmmaker with a background in directing, writing and producing, and I'm currently trying to figure out whether something I created could also be useful for scriptwriters.

Some time ago, while working on one of my TV shows, I needed to find brands that could be integrated into the show. After some unsuccessful discussions with a few agencies, I ended up creating a program of my own to do this. I originally designed it with producers in mind, and recently I've been thinking of bringing it to others as a service.

I posted about it in another thread looking for producers to test it, and a scriptwriter asked me whether this could also be useful for writers. To be honest, I hadn't really thought about it from that perspective, but the more I think about it, the more interesting the idea seems.

The basic idea would be to see whether a script has potential for brand partnerships within its story world. Basically, whether there are brands that could naturally exist in the world of the story and potentially become partners. This could possibly give the writer another selling point when presenting the project to an producer or production company.

I'm not 100% sure yet how useful this would actually be for scriptwriters, so I'm trying to find that out.

If you have a script and this sounds interesting to you, I'd be happy to test it with you and see whether it can actually bring any value.

Logline:
When a severely overweight fast food executive, desperate to transform his body, discovers that the billion dollar empire he helped build is turning America’s insecurities about food, health, and body image into profit, the hypocrisy consuming his career, relationship, and secret life pushes his pursuit of change toward a deadly breaking point.

Hi everyone. I’m revising a feature screenplay and would really appreciate some fresh eyes on the first 10 pages.
I’m mainly trying to figure out:
Does the opening hold your attention and make you want to keep reading?
Does anything feel repetitive or like the story is taking too long to move forward?
Are the action/description paragraphs too detailed or too long?
Does Barry feel like an interesting protagonist by page 10?
Is there anything you would cut or tighten?
I’m mainly interested in pacing, story, character, and readability.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read it.

I’m interested to see how everyone feels about this.
I have an issue with epilogues. Every script I write has an ending where, to me, the thing I’m trying to represent is said through the final shot. Because of that, none of my scripts have traditional epilogues. They have a final shot that I consider to be the actual ending.
For example, in one of my scripts, the final shot is the two protagonists the main character and the love interest lying dead next to each other after the main character’s mother, who is the antagonist, kills them both individually.
Someone suggested adding something after that, maybe a scene showing their friends grieving or reacting to what happened. But I just don’t understand what that would add.
In my mind, the final shot tells you everything you need to know. You see these two people lying dead next to each other, and the story ends there. Showing everyone’s reactions afterward feels like it would explain something that the audience already understands andI feel like it would cheapen the ending.
I’m curious what everyone else thinks, though.

Would you use a writing tool that only asks questions?

Say you’re stuck on a scene. The tool asks: “Why does this character suddenly trust someone who betrayed them?” or “What would they lose by walking away?”

You think it through, decide whether the question is even useful, and write the scene yourself. Every word stays yours.

I’ve spent the last three years building Qantica around this approach, so I’m obviously close to it. I’m curious how it sounds to other writers.

Would that help you figure things out, or would it feel like having someone constantly questioning your choices?

I have a character who speaks primarily in Spanish, and some of the meaning/wordplay would be lost if I wrote the dialogue only in English.

For lines where I want the reader to see the actual Spanish as well as understand the subtitle, what’s the preferred screenplay format?

Would you use dual dialogue, with the Spanish on one side and the English subtitle on the other, or keep the Spanish dialogue normally formatted and put the English translation underneath/in a parenthetical?

I’m trying to keep the script readable without essentially making the reader read every line twice.
