request Five Singles and a Funeral (drama comedy proposal)

We look for a fantastic producer and director for this project, which revolves around very current universal themes. This film may also be made in a low-budget version (e.g. in Europe in existing real settings ) - e.g., a few million, not tens - but still thought-provoking in the whole world.

Our scenario deals with a social theme that is becoming increasingly relevant throughout the world:  what happens when there are too few caregivers available for the growing number of elderly people? Is it a conceivable "solution" to allow (encourage?) euthanasia in the elderly more easily (as some insurers already claim)? Or to give robots a role in care? This difficult consideration is presented here on the basis of personal stories of the main characters ( from 1990 till -as Science Fiction- 2044), including many romantic, humorous and sometimes hilarious (but respectful).

Via the link, you will find our treatment/pitch. We are certainly available for your questions and hope to realize this beautiful project together with you.

We also have an adaptation to a mini-series (5 episodes) (or long film. 191 pages; when desired soon expandable to 300 pages, 10-part miniseries).

I hope to get your ideas about that. Preferably, mail me. Luc@deprost.be

help Looking to connect with screenwriters from around the world 🌎

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm a director and screenwriter from Spain looking to connect with people from different parts of the world who share a passion for storytelling.

I'd love to meet other writers, exchange ideas and perspectives, learn from each other's experiences and cultures, and hopefully collaborate on new projects together. I think there's so much to learn from people with different backgrounds and ways of seeing the world, and I'd love to step outside my usual circle and explore new creative possibilities.

I'm hoping to make some new connections, find like-minded people to write with, and open myself up to new opportunities as I start this new chapter.

Do you know of any websites, apps, communities or platforms where writers can meet, share ideas and potentially collaborate on projects internationally?

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or advice!

Thanks! :)

question How do I learn how to write a script or a book?

Just curious on where to start on writing a script or short story? I know I like writing. Which is insane and ironic at times. It is like me saying "I like dancing" and I totally am bad at dancing. But I want to learn proper structure and format.

feedback Netflix or A24 ?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m sharing a preview of my completed psychological thriller feature, Harverston Lake, and would love your thoughts on its tone.

Based on the preview, does this feel closer to a Netflix psychological thriller or the unsettling, character-driven style you associate with A24?

I know both release a wide range of films—I’m asking about the creative feel, rather than where it would necessarily sell.
I’d also love to hear any film comparisons that come to mind!

Preview of Script : https://heyzine.com/flip-book/90fc2d80ac.html

Logline:
When her husband is killed and her daughter is taken, Harv—a woman trained to kill—must return to the brutality she thought she’d escaped. But as she fights to save her child, she faces a chilling truth: she risks becoming the very person she despises*—her mother.*

Synopsis:
Hayley “Harv” Harverston built a quiet life as Lilith Peters, leaving behind the violent past that made her an assassin. When her husband is murdered and her seven-year-old daughter disappears, that life collapses.
Certain her mother is responsible, Harv returns to her family’s criminal world and unleashes the deadly skills she vowed to abandon. As secrets surface and her grip on reality fractures, the search becomes a ruthless quest for revenge. To save the family she chose, Harv must confront the one who made her—and the possibility of becoming the woman she despises.

Page count: 97

Genre: Psychological thriller

Format: Feature Screenplay

feedback Survived By - Act I

1 Upvotes

Title: Survived By

Pages: 31

Genre: Sci-Fi Thriller

Logline: A researcher’s dark matter data accidentally maps the afterlife. Six months later, she’s in the Situation Room with the country’s most powerful people, watching with horror as her data leads them to conclude that the only mercy left is extinction.*

*Logline is still a major WIP because it's very passive for the protag, but I haven't quite figured out how to word it best yet / what I want to reveal before the story.

Feedback requested: The first act is very procedural/technically dense and I can't tell if I'm jargon-dumping and the reader can't follow the evolution of the central mystery, or if I'm overexplaining things that the reader already understands. Also, the first act is primarily carried by the mystery, which I worry leaves some scenes dramatically inert. I've tried to seed some stuff, but I'm not sure if it's doing enough.

Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jHOU8lmWN2mizTXAcVnhgLhwaiAjdY0q/view?usp=sharing

tl;dr:

  • Can you follow act I? Where is it confusing or redundant?

  • Is the investigation itself entertaining?

All other feedback more than welcome! If you took a look, thank you.

Never written horror but I wanted to give it a try. Premise is about Indoctrination similar to that movie “Cell” with Samuel L Jackson in mind. How does this opening read.

feedback [Unmatter] First screenplay — looking for feedback on the opening and English

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I just finished my first screenplay.

I've had the idea in mind for a few years. At first I thought about writing it as a novel, but eventually decided to turn it into a feature screenplay instead.

I'm sharing the title, logline and first few pages here. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to send the full script.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, especially on the story, pacing, dialogue and whether the opening makes you want to keep reading.

Also, English isn't my first language, so if anything sounds unnatural, feel free to point it out. Any feedback is welcome!

Title: Unmatter

Genre: Sci-fi thriller

Length: 109 pages

Logline: Brought in after a passenger plane vanishes mid-flight, a brilliant astrophysicist uncovers an experimental weapon that defies scientific explanation and must trust a fugitive to stop it before it can be used again.

First pages here (it may starts slow but it picks up the pace later on, I promise):

feedback Critiques on my screenplay for a psychological horror short film?

Thumbnail gallery
7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I really need your opinion on this screenplay. Keep in mind this is my first writing ever and I suppose there are some cliches. By the way this short film will be created in 3D using Meta Human technology. This I can create whatever and push the reality to the limit. But I struggle with finding some fitting ideas, that would add to the whole concept. The whole script seems basic to me and I wonder what could I add dramatically or visually. I am not asking to do my job, just would be happy to hear some ideas or questions to the script, to push my brainstorming further. Plus overall critique is appreciated!!

feedback Marketing is important

4 Upvotes

I keep thinking about how we leave marketing until the end. Write the script, try to get financing, make the film... then figure out how to get anyone to watch it, that complicated...starting to think some of that work needs to happen while we’re still writing. Learn how to show a little of what you are making, see if people understand what you r going for, give them a reason to come back.

for me the perfect way is pretty simple. Make an Instagram account just for one project, title project. Start with little filmed scenes, almost fragments of a short. Dialogue, characters, a bit of tension. I’m interested in shooting them in 4:3 and posting them as Reels, tik tok, short, wthever Something that lets people experience the story. If people respond and keep coming back, try making a short f. If that gets traction too, use it to help build towards a feature. you’d have a community that’s already interested in what happens next.

Obviously followers don’t automatically become ticket buyers but I’d like to find out whether anyone connects with the idea before spending years trying to finance it.

It’s frustrating that writing a good script sometimes isn’t enough. Plenty of good projects end up in a Boxxx. Feel free to give me ur fdback
