Screenwriter Joke/Whatcha Working on this Weekend?
Haha I found this joke online. Hope you get a laugh or smile outta it. I'm outlining a feature script and writing a short script this weekend. What's everyone working on this weekend? Are you having any trouble (outlining, writing action lines, writing dialogue, etc.)?
Why be boring when you can cause a scene? Today a line was born where my character lets her know that he's committed to her by walking away when she wants privacy.
I like that, Wal Friman. You showed his commitment through action. And someone should put "Why be boring when you can cause a scene?" on a t-shirt. Or put it on a character's t-shirt.
I think I'm going to start coming up with t-shirt designs for my characters, Wal Friman. It's a way to reveal things about the characters without dialogue, state the script's theme without a character saying it, make the audience laugh, etc.
Loving this joke haha! I'm working on a short for a competition that I stumbled upon. Just 15 pages of horror ^^. Otherwise I submitted another short to a competition that I was working on first, a Thriller about the pros and cons of AI to describe it quickly. Also I'm working on a Horror feature for a while now that's finally shaping up nicely ^^. So I'd say it was a very productive weekend when it comes to writing :)
You're welcome, Lucy Addams. A Psychological Horror with supernatural elements sounds interesting. I've been thinking about writing a Psychological Horror. Get Out is one of my favorite Psychological Horror movies. What's your favorite/one of your favorites?
Maurice Vaughan I do like "Split" a lot. When it comes to Horror in general I would say I love Scream 5 and 6. Still need to catch up with the rest of the franchise though. But I like the story around Sam and Tara, and as one of my inspirations I like seeing Jenna Ortega performing in it.
I like Split, Lucy Addams. The Scream franchise too! My favorite Scream movies are 1 & 2. Jenna Ortega is a talented actress! I hope she get cast in your movie one day!
Maurice Vaughan she really is talented and I hope so too. If Jenna Ortega would play one of my written characters one day it would be a dream come true. One of many reasons why I'm working so hard to reach that level as a screenwriter that a great actress like her might be interested in one of my screenplays some day.
