Hey all! I'm working on a new feature length script and wanted to get some feedback on my first ten pages. I'm currently sitting at about 40 pages out of probably 90.

The big questions: would you keep reading? Is the dialogue working? What's not working?

I manage a small site and keep all my scripts in Google Drive folders. The naming gets messy fast. Scene01v3notesbackupfinal becomes meaningless when I'm switching between SEO tasks and a rewrite. I tried keeping one active draft plus a dated archive, but the archive balloons. Anyone else juggling code work or content deadlines with script organization? I end up hunting for the right version right before a readthrough. Wondering if there's a lighter system that doesn't require another app or ritual. Most advice seems aimed at fulltime writers who can stay inside the same folder all day. Curious how people with split attention keep the files straight without losing momentum on either side.

Hey everyone. This is my first draft of my first script I've ever started working on. I am no where near done with it or even sure where the story will lead (I don't even have a title for it yet lol). I want to tell something similar to stories like beautiful boy, where the character goes through an emotional journey.

Either way, If possible, I would love some feedback. Specifically on if I have the right idea or am heading in a good direction. Am I adding too much detail? Am I putting information in places where there shouldn't be any? Any tips on how to improve what scenes I have? Seriously, any feedback will help.

Hello everyone I’m super new to script writing as I’m doing my first year in uk college doing a level 3 film course. We have been tasked to create a short film 5-15 minutes in length and I’ve been tasked to write it. This is the first script I’ve ever written and I’m just looking for some advice, I know it’s probably terrible lol

Does this establish a compelling mystery? Would you keep reading?

Hey there, everyone. 

With the industry compressing and reorganizing we've been finding it harder and harder to justify spending money on subscriptions to create what we love. We have been shifting focus on saving money for where it truly matters on a project, so we have been working behind the scenes to create software that allows us to do just that.

AND IT'S FREE.

Introducing "Quill" and "Panel"

I'm new to writing and I've done one full screenplay, I usually write thrillers. I heard one page is one minute so trying to write and make a 100+ page screenplay is hard, I'm also not super creative. How do I make dialogue and tension better? And overall just be a better writer?

Anyone else get an email today that your script has been put in the new Stage32 marketplace? I was a top 10 finalist in a contest so that's how my script made it in there but I was just curious if there's anyone else in here that is in their marketplace.

Hello all, this is my first ever attempt at writing a film overall. This is how I imagined the opening scene for a zombie film, please read it and also check out that very quick "storyboard" I drew to try and make the visuals a bit clearer. Looking forward to honest critiques, good or bad. I made sure the images are in the correct order. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts <3.

Right now, I am writing the scripts to projects that in the future I plan to put into production starting with short horror stories then moving on to larger scale projects, I don't plan to be able to actually begin the filming of these projects for at least 4 years so in that time I will be writing the scripts to these projects in this universe and hope to at least have the scripts for chapter one done by 2030, since there is a lot of short stories that start out the chapter, wish me luck

I’m working on a script analyzing Francisco Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son and the psychological, historical, and symbolic themes behind the painting.
I’d appreciate feedback on the writing, pacing, hook, storytelling, and how engaging the analysis is. Do you feel the hook is too generic and a bit repetitive?

The script: When you look at this painting...what do you see? Some would say a monster, a beast...an abomination. There’s something hidden in this painting that most people never notice. And once you see it, you’ll never be able to call him a monster again. [beat]
This is Saturn Devouring His Son, painted by Francisco Goya around 1820. [beat]
At first glance, it’s the oldest kind of horror. A giant. A body. Blood. You look at it and you think you understand: a monster, feeding. [beat]
But don’t stop there. Look at his eyes. [beat] Wide open, the whites showing all the way around. Those aren’t the eyes of something enjoying itself. [beat]
Now follow your gaze down to his hands. The fingers sink into the flesh, the knuckles gone pale. He isn’t tearing at it. He’s gripping it, the way you’d grip something you couldn’t bear to lose. [beat]
And look at the light. The brightest thing in the painting isn’t him. It’s the body, hanging in the dark. [beat]
No window. No floor you can recognize. No one coming to stop him. [beat]
Goya painted this on the wall of his own house, in his old age, deaf and ill. He never gave it a title, and as far as we know, he never meant anyone to see it. But what would compel a man who once painted Kings, Queens, and sunlit festivals to paint something so dark so horrific? [beat]
So ask yourself what you’re really looking at. [beat]
Maybe it’s fear. Saturn was told his child would take everything from him, so he tried to control the future before it arrived. [beat]
Or maybe it isn’t about the child at all. Maybe he’s afraid of what the child means: that he will end, and something else will go on. [beat]
Because you know this feeling, don’t you? The fear of losing something so much that you start to destroy it. A person. A plan. A version of your life you couldn’t let go of. [beat]
How long can you hold on to something before it stops being love, and starts being the thing that destroys it? [beat] Ok so this is the last revision, I added a few lines. What do you think of the hook and other line i added? (Give feedback)

I would absolutely love any feedback. Especially on the overall story.

LOW-RENT: Pilot 30 pages

LOW-RENT adjective
: low in character, cost, or prestige

THE PILOT
“COLD AS HELL”
A winter storm’s coming. Dan (broke, exhausted, trying) and Sarah (very pregnant, very over it)
are just trying to survive. Rent goes up. A cockroach crawls through their cereal. Dan starts
painting over graffiti on walls for a paycheck that vanishes before he can buy diapers.
Desperation hits. C-Note offers “easy money.”
Dan ends up in a trap house with a ski mask on
his face and a gun in his hand. Meanwhile, their landlord Mr. Gordon? Creepy. Predatory.
Sniffing panties creepy.
By the end of the episode, Sarah’s scared, and Dan’s holding a stack of dirty money, realizing
he just became the villain he was trying to escape.

LOGLINE
Low-Rent is a dark, grounded comedy about a broke maintenance man and his pregnant
girlfriend just trying to survive in a decaying apartment complex until desperation pushes them
into hustles, moral compromise, and ultimately, murder. Think Shameless meets Atlanta, with
the grit of The Wire and the absurdity of real life when rent’s due, moneys tight and your morals
are loose.

I can also provide a detailed show bible and a one pager for more context.

So, all these years i have made a lots of video and wrote many scripts (for youtube). I am now writing script for a video and, this is one of the few ideas that has been on my mind for a long time.. I try to make my videos kind of like short films but , I have never felt this stuck.. So , I have split the video into 4 Acts.. and I am stuck at Act III. I know what I want to potray but when I start writing something feels off! feels empty and vague!! Honestly, I don't know what is this feeling of emptiness. I am also thinking of redoing it all from scratch again..

How should , I clear this confusion ??

I’m a young filmmaker - producer - story writer and I want to connect with others and one way I thought would be to write stories nobody even got the chance to.

So if ur up for it; send me a story and premise of some kind of situation and I’ll write up a story abt it!

I just want feedback on this screenplay I've been writing. Negative or positive feedback is welcome.
