Thanks for the request
Looking for produced scripts to read and study...preferably features and/or TV. Comedy and/or thrillers. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? I've already perused imsdb.com and their list is limited.
Go Into the Story has a collection of scripts the studios release during oscar season. http://gointothestory.blcklst.com/free-script-downloads/...

My nephew has written his first screenplay. I think it's funny and clever. It's raunchy in the vein of Austin Powers. I wondered if any experienced screenplay writers might share a bit of wisdom on how he might begin to shop this script? Much thanks for any feedback. Neva

Expand commentHe has the creativity so I was glad to see that in the script. Believe me, I was very nervous to be the first person who read it and gave him any feedback, ha. I was so relieved that I could see a unique quality to his writing. Beyond that, I'm not qualified to judge grammar/formatting and feel that's important but certainly doesn't matter if the writing stinks. I think, at this point, it's been made really clear that the consensus is he will not sell this first script. Got that. Thanks everyone. I've passed along all the wisdom I've gleaned here.

Expand commentI absolutely agree. But while I have yet to professionally pitch a script, from everything that I've heard, more often than not, the moment they see that the formatting is off, they toss it away. Keep in mind, most of the people reading these, at least the major studios have a stack of these things a mile high, and some are. Just looking for a reason to disregard as many as possible. And you're absolutely right, if the story and content stinks, then who cares about formatting. The good news is that there are so many screenwriting softwares out there that it does the work for you. I use Celtx, which can be downloaded online for free. I can't imagine writing a script without it.
Yes, Aaron, I gave him a copy of Final Draft so it's formatted according to that software, I believe. I've heard of celtx and even have an account there but haven't dug into it yet since writing is on...
Expand commentYes, Aaron, I gave him a copy of Final Draft so it's formatted according to that software, I believe. I've heard of celtx and even have an account there but haven't dug into it yet since writing is only something I mostly do for original web series and not for full-length scripts. I guess I'm sort of a glass half full person. Yeah, there are odds against anyone in any area of the creative arts ... and it really doesn't matter if you are passioned about it. Most of us have to do what we do because the creativity demands it so ... let chips fall where may.
