Hi everybody, I'm starting this discussion cause I'm finishing the very first draft of a script based on the characters of the 80's TV series Dungeons and Dragons. I'm aware there is a new film coming, based on the role games of D&D so it may opens the door for new projects inspired on the D&D unive...

I'm proud to announce that my horror screenplay MOTHER EVIL is now in development at Pathos Films!
Congratulations! Sounds like an interesting title, mothers have been always attached to goodness (except Mama, probably)
Congratulations Alan.
congrats to you Alan.
Well done Allan and best of luck during the process.
Congratulations keep it coming
My content share for today comes, courtesy of InkTip's. Michael Kim. My favorite limited location film, surprised it was not mentioned, is, Panic Room. Or maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't a limited location film. Any other favorite's, my fellow Stage 32 screenwriters and artists in general? https://www...

Steve!! Thank YOU! It's like pulling touch. Billy: William is still the front runner. Thanks for stopping by.
I am just completing a great limited script too. It's of my book 'Mystery of Wellbrook House' . I enjoy challenging myself to do different things :-) Good luck with yours Jorge :-)
Rope. It's a single location Masterclass
Happy to see Twilight Zone and Rope mentioned! I second those. Both were inspirations for my current project, which is a one actor, one location film: The Recursion Theorem. We couldn't find a locatio...

Hi everybody, I've been wondering for a while if it would be a good idea to contact some producers by websites like Linkedin or IMDBpro since I don't know a better way to make it real. I mean, any one of you has ever tryed to contact them by these kind of websites? How did it work to you? I have no...

Thanks people! It's more or less what I thought. You're so great! Thanks for your answers
You're going to need a talent agent, entertainment lawyer or a literary manager and/or agent. Most major film and production companies will not accept unsolicited material. I have been looking for an...

Hi Omar, it's also possible for your local Spanish agent to contact US agents/managers/producers/studios/sales agents on your behalf. Best of luck!
Trying to get a talent agent and all of that is really tough. For sure, you'll have to pay the talent agent some money up front to help you get your script read. I would love to do an adaptation of my...

FYI, Jackai, in the US, a WGA signatory agency is not supposed to charge an upfront fee to read your script. However, it's possible, for example, that you might have to pay to attend a pitch fest to pitch that agent, but the payment is going to the pitch fest organizers, not to the agent.
It may happen to all of us that our computer crashes through viruses. Of course you make back ups of your work but I also file my project in my mailbox every time when I have worked on the script. In that way my work is always safe . So, if something happens, you will not lose your project.
Okay, I´ll have a look. Thanks
I have all of my screenplays tattooed on my body, just in case.
lol William. I have all my screenplays saved on an implanted chip in my body.
I´ve a Linux system and do not need to install a virus scanner
I've got hundreds of versions of the same script in hundreds of different places. Yes, It's hard for me to finish one as I'm always in a loop!
I'm in the fine line between dreams and goals (between the imagination and the reality perhaps). At least I feel that way, cause getting one means getting the other to me. And probably I'm saying things that I don't want to say (cause this is not my mother tongue and a single comma can change everyt...

I write scripts for movies that I myself, alone am excited to see FIRST, then determine the marketability afterward. If I didn't, I'd never write in the first place.
That's essential to me, if you're not passionate about your work, better let it go.
Omar - Write the best movie you have never seen. Dan - Being passionate about the work but not necessarily the individual piece - is professional - as you already know.

Expand commentWriting is not about owning rights but having your own right to write whatever it comes to your mind. Of course therre's a lot of new original things to write but sometimes one feels that is the right time for improving something already existed.A shorter way to answer this is, because I just want it. I want to make it real. That simple.
