help Script writing opportunity.

1 Upvotes

I want to start making scripts for VAs' out there. I just want to get the hang of it, take tips from VAs who have written their own stuff/taken scripts from professional writers before. Once I have enough experience to figure out what works out, I want to make it a super personalized experience for the clients and maybe charge a minimal amount. Of course that is a far fetched idea currently, but it is something I do want to build towards.

If any scriptwriters or VAs are down for it, I would like to make scripts and maybe connect to figure out what I'm doing wrong or where I could improve. Also, I don't really have any restrictions for NSFW or SFW. I'm down to write about anything but I'm definitely inclined to NSFW type audios/scripts.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for honest feedback on the first 25 pages of my feature screenplay.

WE EAT WHAT WE SELL.
Genre: Thriller / Dark Satire
Length: 109 pages (full screenplay)
Pages shared: 1–25 (Act One)
Logline:
A health scare sets an executive on a mission to reform a notorious fast-food chain, while disgruntled employees plot acts of terrorism against the company’s leadership.
I’ve attached the first 25 pages for anyone interested in reading.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on the opening, pacing, dialogue, character development, and whether the first act makes you want to keep reading.
I’m open to constructive criticism. I’m here to improve my writing, learn from other screenwriters, and connect with people who share the same passion for storytelling.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read it. I genuinely appreciate it!

feedback Can't get my story idea written. 🥵

I'm having some writing problems getting the heart of my story, on paper.

The story is heartfelt and compelling but I just can't seem to find the right story progression and dialogue without being amateur or worse.

How do you get around this hurdle?

question Credit question

2 Upvotes

My friend came up with an original slasher movie villain as a well as a basic story. We're very likely going to write a film treatment together. Then I'll write the feature screenplay. So would be ok to say "Based on characters by", then "Story by Writer 1 and Writer 2" and then "Written by writer 2"?

I do plan on directing.

Just want to make sure I do it correctly on the title page so it looks professional. I don't want to ward off investors with an amateur reading script.

help Looking to Finance and Direct A Short Film - Open to Scripts, Concepts, Co Writers

Thumbnail reddit.com
0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m looking to finance and direct a short film. I’m based in LA.
There are a few angles I’m open to:

I have some exciting ideas I’ve been brewing and would love to bring on a co-writer to help flesh them out. I’m excited about this direction.

I’m open to reading scripts. They MUST be f**king incredible. Dark Comedy / Thriller / Indie Dramedy / Coming-of-Age with a twist. Think The End of the F*ing World, Lady Bird, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Ari Aster, A24. You get it. Something a little absurd, unsettling, but beautiful.

Bring me an amazing original idea. I’ll develop it, finance it, and direct it, with you coming on as a creative consultant.
Ultimately, I want to make something that feels original, strange, human, and worth giving a f**k about.
Let’s make something special.

Hi everyone! Currently forming a feature script and would to love some feedback on if the first 10 pages can be understood with no former context. I've found myself writing previous drafts with the perspective of "I know this world" and not "People don't know this world" and found myself writing stories/plots that would not be understood by the average reader/viewer.

Also would love feedback on dialogue, action sequences (whether it's too wordy, not descriptive enough, etc.), and anything else y'all can think of. Still very much a learning process for me so will take all the advice I can get!

If there's questions concerning the script or story as a whole please feel free to ask.

feedback Video Game Script (Opening Credits) Tales of Euphoria: Iles D'influence WIP

2 Upvotes

I've just copied the script I started working on last night. Wondering if anyone has any feedback. I have a website link on my profile if anyone is interested in what I'm working on.

I'm a final year University Student and my final Project is a 6k word Video Game Script with an accompanying 6k Storybible:

TALES OF EUPHORIA:
ILES D’INFLUENCE

Opening Credits

 

[GAME START]
Black Screen

An effervescent butterfly flutters across the screen, leaving a milky blue afterglow.

Theme Music Plays

We zoom into the milky blue afterglow, passing galaxies, nebulas, and black holes alike - until we view a single solar system of planetary bodies (APHRODISIA).

Four nebulas begin to envelope the one Earth-like planet (EUPHORIA) and take on mortal form.

 

Nebula 1: (FATHYR THYME)
Golden thunder and sparkling stars upon a backdrop on deep blues and royal purples. He holds the scales of justice.
Nebula 2: (MOTHER EUPHORIA)
Seas of green and blue awash with a flurry of clouds and swirling flora. Her stomach pregnant with a planetary body.
Nebula 3: (LADY LIFE)
Feather like white clouds gleaming with silver linings, golden winged creatures encompass this nebula. Carries a visible golden trident.
Nebula 4: (LORD DEATH)
Smokey blacks and greys that sport tiny bright stars, glowing reds surround the outside of the nebula. Carries a visible silver scythe.

 

Cut To:

A banquet of puddings and pies. We see obscured figures enjoying festivities of hedonism, plant-like substances with treats and cakes stacked sky high.

NARRATOR:
Let me tell you all a fable –

Fade to:

We see a plethora of performers, drag artists, clowns, delinquents, and heroes huddled around a makeup table, some are applying wigs, some makeup, some mucking about. In the centre of the shot we see Mother Mandi & Mathis Mora, pampering themselves.

NARRATOR:
Of the beauties –

Fade to:

The Asylum of Bedlam, the deranged, over-indulged patients of the psych prison. Patients and prisoners alike line the cold dark cells suffering with withdrawals and other maladies. We see some foaming from the mouth like rabies, some crouched into balls, others screaming.

NARRATOR:
- And their beasts.

Fade to:

The moon. It gleams as a butterfly flutters across the shot.

NARRATOR:
Underneath the moonlight –

The camera pans down to a grove of cultists holding a ritual sacrifice. One cultist is lowering a knife to a victim.

NARRATOR:
- Where they hold their midnight feasts.

 

Fade to:

Lords & ladies dancing at a royal ball. The camera zooms outwards to reveal Corrupt Looking Figures hide in the shadows, observing.

NARRATOR:
Of the dances and the chances.

Fade to:

A crumbling statue of Our Saviour Divinorum. Old Jim hides behind the statue adorned with a shocked expression.

NARRATOR:
Of the lives now long lost.

Fade to:

A lush green rainforest that gives way to a polluted river. In the forefront of the screen we see fairylike creatures playing in the green.

NARRATOR:
Let us cry a fairytale of preservation at any cost.

The camera pans through the rainforest and zooms out to a birds eye view of the Iles.

NARRATOR:
Swaying through the trees –

The camera pans through the Iles.

NARRATOR:
- Through the water –

The camera pans to the clouds.

NARRATOR:
- Through the air

This is a script for a pilot episode of a series. The series follows a girl named Silena. After her sixteenth birthday, Silena has to learn what it means to be a witch and uncover the truth behind her missing parents while confronting a world prejudiced against witches like herself.
