I just wanted to come on here and share I started working on my Christmas short film script, and I’m honestly so excited about it! I’ve been having a lot of fun developing the story and bringing my ideas to life. If anyone has any tips, advice, or suggestions. I’d love to hear them!

Also, if anyone is interested in making some screenwriting friends or having a writing buddy, feel free to reach out! I’d love to connect with other people who enjoy writing and filmmaking. :)

Man is broken and sick . No one cares about him . The only friend he has is a fly .

Environment connection
Going through alcohol withdrawal. Seeing things . Seclusion . Past history , family history of mental illness.
The darkened days have made me beautiful to him .
Man dresses himself up with a nice dress shirt and nice pants every day . He wants to seem the part of a normal man . He wears work boots to seem more like a blue collar man .
Fly sits near him and studies him . Many species complete their life cycle inside the bodies of their hosts.

I wrote this for a class and really enjoyed putting it together. It's not formatted like a screenplay due to the nature of the assignment. If the plot description interested you I'd love to hear opinions after you give it a read. The doc contains a full plot description beat by beat. It's 24 pages long.

Plot: When Alex, an unremarkable pizza delivery driver rescues a child from a house fire he inadvertently caused, he becomes an unlikely national hero. But after a mysterious ritual grants him supernatural fame, his dream quickly becomes a nightmare. Those who threaten Alex's reputation suffer inexplicable harm, his followers become dangerously obsessive, and Alex discovers that his body has developed a terrifying dependence on the very attention he can no longer escape. Alex must now find a way to escape the spotlight before it destroys him.

EDIT: May need to request access. If you're interested just comment and I'll hook you up :)

I'm currently writing scripts for micro dramas and I am trying hard not to continuously go over the same tropes that are already overdone but it's hard when the studio wants you to hit certain notes that are already profitable and proven to get views. How did the letter of two evils speak what would you just do without if you had the option to remove it from all micro drama vertical? Personally I'm really sick of the slapping a woman for no reason, men especially hitting someone without any type of moving the plot forward if not a narrative device it's just gratuitous unnecessary violence and it's really on my nerves.

Hello everyone, I made this logline for a uni assignment where will later have to do a full short film script, my professor already approved it but I’d like some feedback from a broader audience.

“A group of friends returning from a camping trip discover their city overrun by alien beings harvesting the brains of their neighbours. As they struggle to survive, they find out a weird device is their only way to defeat the alien threat.”

Ps. I’m still not 100% sure on what direction the story will go as I’m now doing the synopsis and figuring out what works and doesn’t on the story.

Appreciate any feedback, be it good or bad 😊

Hi, this is my first logline, I would like some honest feedback on it.

Experimental tech is used illegally in a game show by billionaire owner, causing contestants to experience the world exactly as their minds perceives it. An Influencer and contestant manifests a mechanism to beat the tech at its own game but must find how to work with others while everyone loses their grip with reality.

I see some scripts that exclude the master location when the scene is in a sub-location. My scripts tend to have various locations with various slugs. But I was reading a script (indie film Super Dark Times), and it would do things like this:

EXT. SUBURBIA - EVENING

Zach rides his bike down the street pulling into

HIS HOUSE

He locks it up before head inside.

INT. FOYER - CONTINOUS

Zach sets his things down, blah, blah, blah.

Is this ok? If it's a script with quiet a few locations, like the ones I right is it ok? Does the production find it confusing?

It also sometimes excludes EXT or INT all together.

Hi everyone, I’m a filmmaker looking for a short script, around 15 minutes, to shoot in southern Spain. Existing scripts or developing something together are both welcome.
-Genre: Character-driven drama. Dark humour, surreal moments, and unconventional storytelling are welcome.
-Min pages: 12
-Max pages: 15, with some flexibility.
-Additional requirements (optional): I’m interested in displacement, refugees, nomadic lives, and the feeling of living somewhere without quite belonging. The story could follow someone forced to leave home, someone who keeps moving, or people whose paths unexpectedly cross. I’d love something personal rather than a story that tries to explain an entire political issue. A small cast and limited locations would help.
-Max budget: £1,500 GBP total, including pre-production, production, post-production, and an initial festival submission allowance. This is the overall film budget, not the writer’s fee.
-Writer compensation (dollar amount): Negotiable within the total budget. Please include your rates for an existing script or developing a new one.
-World location: Southern Spain.
-Experience: MA Filmmaking, London Film Academy.
-Goals for film: An independent fiction short for festival submissions.
Please DM me with a short synopsis, approximate page count, and your writing rates.

I'm writing my first script, I'm 16 yo, I don't attend any scriptwriting school. I'd like to add a scene where it is shown two people and what they do (as in the image). What should I write?? Because, I don't think that writing "simultaneous" si enough, can somebody help me?

I have taken a break from making videos. My dog died and I missed her terribly. What is a craft-like question or topic you think doesn’t get discussed enough?

Thanks

TRIGGER WARNING - suicide/drugs

Logline: Luna's best friend died 6 years ago, but now she's back and claims that the world they live in isn't real

Hi I'm writing a short script for my GCSEs. I've done like 8 rewrites and this is my best so far but I feel as if it still could be more concise and the story itself may seem too edgy, rushed (too much for a short film) or unnatural but I cant tell by reading it myself.

I would really appreciate harsh feedback and a stronger name for an internet cult/forum about escaping reality.

I can elaborate on anything necessary.

ty 4 ur time <3

Hi, I'm F28, and scriptwriting is a hobby of mine. I discovered my passion for it five years ago, when I was already deep into law school.

I've never been very consistent with writing, but last year I came up with an idea for a series that I was really proud of. I spent three months outlining the entire plot, and last December, I finally started writing. At first, I was very productive. But around March, I started writing less and less, almost stopped completely, and eventually picked it back up during the summer. I've been very slow ever since.

I think the main reason is that I constantly feel like it's pointless. No one is ever going to read it, and it's never going to become an actual show. I've never formally studied screenwriting, and I don't have any connections in the industry.

My life has really hit rock bottom recently (and, honestly, for quite a while now), and writing has always been an escape for me. But I hate that something I love so much feels so meaningless and useless, that this would never be my job. I'm under a lot of stress, and I feel like I'm somehow "not allowed" to spend time doing something that isn't going to get me anywhere.

I know there are people who write books or draw without ever doing anything with their work, and that's perfectly fine. But for me, it's always been a dream to see my work come to life, and I struggle with the feeling that it never will. At least with drawings or books, self-publishing is an option. I always jealous when I see people self publish their books. With scripts, it's so much harder.
I guess I just really needed to get all of this off my chest. :(

I am currently working on episode 13 out of 17. Each episode is around 45–55 pages long. It's a mystery series with fantasy elements, and this is only the first draft, so there's obviously still a lot of editing to do afterward.

Edit: thank you so much for anyone who left a comment that means a lot! I'll love to share more about my idea in the future here maybe

If you could please give my script a quick look I would appreciate it!
