I'm confused. I recently joined this platform but haven't figured out how to use it. I wanted to develop my talent, but I feel lost. I have a script and several new and unique ideas, but I haven't been able to present them or make use of them.

Great, Samir Mohammed The Sharif. That's an estimated budget. Just pick a budget range you think your script will cost to make, like $1M-$5M.

Morris. I didn't specify the amount. I left it blank. Is this normal, or will there be a problem in the coming days?

I pick a budget range when I upload a script, Samir Mohammed The Sharif, but it might be okay to leave it blank.

It's hard to say, Samir Mohammed The Sharif. Selling a script depends on different things (the concept, the quality of your script, who you network with, who you pitch to, etc.)....

Wake Up Dead Man - what did you all think??
I am trying to remember another time this has happened, and so far, I cannot think of a situation like this. I am curious if any of you all have had this happen.

Anything Goes With Storyboards
Looking back at this job, it was a great experience. When I finished pencilling the boards, I knew something was not quite right. To make it top quality, I scanned them in Photoshop and tightened up the panels plus give each panel a white background. Make it solid. Wanted the work to be clean and pr...

Worldbuilding with a Glance into a similar World
When writing my last script (my #6), which is set in a cyberpunk dystopia, I found myself listening to cyberpunk-inspired ambience when outlining, writing, or editing. This view into a world similar to the one I am creating made for some good vibes.

Expand commentKevin, you've got a lot of great loglines! My suggestion, though, is to NOT put them up here. I've had about 4 of my ideas taken. I also used to write jokes on comedywire, and I had a lot of my jokes taken from there. I would keep your loglines private. I had mine up here for a lot of years and I reently took them down, because once again, I watched a movie that was eerily similar to a screenplay I had written and had a log line. I also sent a pilot episode to someone here on Stage 32 - and then what do you know, it got made into a series, and nobody consulted me. So, I took all my log lines down. Anyway.....I highly recommend learning how to make your own videos and movie with a video editor, whether it's Canva, iMovie, or whatever one you want, then put them up on a youtube channel, or a vimeo channel or whatever platform you want. Or even a website wehre you just upload your videos directly. I made a 24 minute animated comic book for less than 200 bucks. It's totally doable. Start with the shortest first, a minute or two, then work your way up to longer ones. I probably made 20 short, stop motion animations before I made my 24 minute long one. I also made one that was over 20 minutes long and it was just a radio-play. I don't think HOllywood as we know it is going to be around for much longer, but definitely start making your own. I'm also making an app for screenwriters who want to do a micro-budge tproduction of their own screenplay. The app is called Be Your Own Producer. I'm looking for beta-users who want to try it out, give suggestions, and in exchange I give them a lifetime free subscription. If you want to try it out when it's ready, you can be one of my beta testers and I'll let you use it for free, in exchange for your feedback. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!! :)

Expand commentOk, no problem. If you ever want to try it, you're welcome to. But I would highly recommend trying to produce your own screenplays (even a microbudget one using imovie or anything like that) instead of trying to find a producer or a studio, because there are hardly any studios left anymore. They're all consolidating, merging, or getting bought out.
