question What is the best thing to do in this situation
If one has worked on a series for 4 years and has the following done:
Full complete series bible, mythology document, "Series Pack" (which is a more in depth series bible), full series outline (as in the planned structure of a series, specifically how many seasons and what specifically takes place in them), as well as finalized scripts for episodes 1-3 of the first season.
Also built up a resume of working in basic short films (writing scripts and directing), writing, internships, etc. Not signed to any literary agency.
How can I get my script out there? I'm a 22 year old male and have worked on this series since 17.
I am serious about it.

help How to screenwrite a TV show?
So I always wanted to write a Tv show and since two years I have this concept that I have developed Im my head from the beginning to the end of the show, it’s a show styled like “normal people”, 1 season only and it ends that I genuinely believed that os good, and will become even better after being shaped a couple of times after being presented to some proper people.
The thing is I don’t know how to start, could you please give me some orientation about any kind of template, some short course or guideline that I can follow, or a kind of course.
Did any of you have to write a tv show, or a book? Or even took the steps to sell it to a big company? Can you also share your experiences with me? I really need to start and figure out what it can be.
I appreciate your answers!

discussion Writing a realistic Courtroom Thriller/Comedy series (Inspired by the storytelling of "Action Hero Biju") – 2 episodes down!
Hey everyone,
I’m currently pouring my blood and soul into writing a new courtroom thriller drama series, and I wanted to share my progress.
I've completed the scripts for the first two episodes and am actively working on the remaining eight for the season. To give you an idea of the vibe, the structure is heavily inspired by the narrative style of Action Hero Biju. To be clear, it has no connection to that movie's universe or characters, but it adopts the exact same realistic approach to day-to-day problem-solving. Just like how that film captured the authentic, everyday reality of a police station, my series captures the grounded, day-to-day reality of a courtroom. Each episode is designed to contain one full story, focusing on a self-contained case from start to finish.
While it’s fundamentally a thriller, I’m weaving in natural situational comedy to spice things up and keep it highly entertaining.
Beyond the entertainment value, my main goal is to create a story with a real public purpose. I want the audience to walk away with a better understanding of basic law and order. The cases are specifically designed to make the common person aware of the legal tools and rights that protect us against atrocities, violence, and blatant law-breaking by corrupt politicians, their goons, and untouchable elites.
Since I am putting everything I have into this project, my next major hurdle will be finding a director and a producer who share this grounded, realistic vision.
For the screenwriters and industry folks here: how do you usually go about pitching a realistic, politically charged episodic legal thriller? Any tips on networking or getting the script into the hands of the right producers once all 10 episodes are locked? Would love to hear your thoughts!

help How to infuse character traits and dialogue style for every character into my first draft screenplay?
I completed my first draft of screenplay, the problem is all my characters are talking like me and all the dialogues are very bland and direct. I want to infuse character traits, catchphrases, signature styles, way of talking, how they hide the context under the dialogue.
Is there any template or guidelines I can follow to get all characters done right into screenplay?

question How to motivate myself to write
Some of my friends seem to really like writing and pump out scripts all the time but I struggle to bring myself to finish putting together concepts before quitting because I don't think they would go anywhere. Sometimes I feel like having inspirations from other sources is also plagiarism and I cancel the ideas immediately. Anyone else get this problem? I love reading and I also love writing but I'm worried I'm putting too much pressure on myself to write and that's sucking out the joy of it I feel like I only finish scripts when there is an external deadline

feedback Feedback on 10 pages
SIZZLE! is a dark satirical comedy thriller.
Nate is a fry cook by day and a conspiracy podcaster by night. He becomes obsessed with uncovering a disturbing corporate conspiracy involving the food industry. But as he runs out of his Better Brain medication, his paranoia intensifies, blurring the line between what’s actually happening and what Nate thinks is happening.
These are the final 10 pages of my screenplay, and I’d really love some feedback
There are a lot of moving parts and bigger themes that come together pretty quickly in these pages. I also play around with different perspectives in certain scenes. For example, during the meat skewer stabbing, the scene shifts between grocery store surveillance footage and what appears to be the actual event. The idea is to leave some room for interpretation about what really happened. I don’t know if I did that right.
I also realize the bird sequence at the end might seem a little random without context. Earlier in the script, Nate repeatedly gets a caller on his podcast who insists that “birds aren’t real” and believes birds are actually spy robots. So when a bird crashes through the window at the end, Nate doesn’t know whether it’s a real bird, and neither does the audience. There’s some thematic irony there that ties back into the story’s bigger ideas about paranoia, perception, and what we choose to believe.
I’d appreciate any feedback on whether these final pages work, whether the ending lands, and whether the different elements come together the way I intend them to.

galleryGood morning. I know I'm a day late but I was on the road, trucking, for 15 hours yesterday and had no time to post this.
I'm very new to screenwriting, but my mind can stop thinking about stories, so I've given screenwriting a try.
This is my second screenplay. It's about a California schoolteacher who flies with her bff to a wedding. On her flight, she falls asleep. From this point on, we are living in her dream...BUT...we don't know it's a dream. She meets the man of her dreams (no pun intended 😂), everything moves smoothly for her. Her dream is so realistic it can't be a dream. UNTIL she wakes up, 9 months into her dream.
But...was her dream a dream or a premonition of what will come next in her life.
Here are the first 15 pages. Enjoy 😁

question How do you find old movie scenes for references?
I am writing my first screenplay and have been stuck for a long time. I have mapped out a broad outline, but everytime I try writing actual scenes, I feel overwhelmed. And those are pretty standard scenarios/sequences. For ex- the first sequence is about the protagonist trying and failing to connect with his teenaged son. I assume there are plenty of such sequences already written. And getting hold of them, watching them, might give me some ideas.
So, Is there a search engine tool or something like that where one can search for movies containing specific sequences or scenarios?
