Is anyone tracking the tariff trade wars for a screenplay? The next Big Short? Even with my MBA I am at a loss to explain the thrust and parry of this elective battle. Still the impact on regular folk may make for some very human stories. I am taking notes as I hear pundits, wonks, and small busines...

I am trying to structure the third Act of my story which is essentially a conspiracy murder feature. In the third act new information comes to light during a trial and proves the innocent of some characters. Thinking about how much I should include to make.it real, but with crisp, sharp writing.

Working on the outline for my second original screenplay. Very excited to be back at outlining and drafting.

Debbie Croysdale sounds good to me! Happy to help!
@Pat Alexander I'm definitely more of a television guy myself but on the films side I love All the President's Men and Primary Colors. On the TV side I'm up for a West Wing, Madam Secretary or The Good Wife rewatch any day
The Dead Zone and Manchurian Candidate are both awesome. My faves have always been Dave and American President!

Congratulations on finishing your first screenplay, Andrew Eugene Schultz!
Four middle aged friends reunite in their hometown and confront religious trauma from the past, while fighting hardships in the present.
Finished my first screenplay. Hoping for resources that will help me pitch my story.
I am just getting immersed in screenwriting in depth after years of wanting to do so. I read Syd Field’s books before reading Story by Robert McKee. I feel like I got a lot from both, but am curious what other resources new screenwriters have utilized as they started this journey…

This might reduce slave labor in certain countries. I believe that might be a secondary goal. Just MHO.

In MHO always look for the wonder of unintended results, good and bad. If you want less of something, you don't ever forget the butterfly that flaps its wings in China. That insect's actions can cause a tsunami down the road.
