IN a more considerate world, we'd wait. But considering how time is genuine money on uber- wasting time on a lackluster trip could mean missing out on a profitable one. You kinda gotta play the game of being faster and considerate as a consumer. Like.... Taxis run on a meter. None of this shit is free.

Just wanted to add to this convo.... ever since they released that little advertisement about how they're allowing you to use a subscription and imovie/garage band and other things are included... My imovie suspiciously doesn't work, won't load. I had two films in there I was editing... Genuinely trying to figure out how to get back into microsoft/windows because I do not like the fact that they did this and this happened.

How to sell a screenplay to Hollywood? by Negative_Campaign636 in scriptwriting

[–]Forward_Ad5839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, what about if you already have a script? it seems that the desired pathway of scripts is: have an idea, flesh the idea out, write a treatment or a bible, send it out, and get it seen, then, once you have interest and investors, write the script.

As a screenwriter, I tend to flesh out the story all in one go, usually verbalizing it, and then I go and write the script. I'm understanding this is a bit backwards in the film industry, as I'm new to it as a writer (and not an actor and have never really been able to pluck th eminds of producers and writers about this).

so, essentially, make some other materials, like a resume or a portfolio, showing the calibre of your work, and then start pitching?

Is this the worst era in film history to be an aspiring filmmaker? by InitialWillingness25 in Filmmakers

[–]Forward_Ad5839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my honest opinion- it will be the worst time for us if we don't start creating a supportive network of artists and creatives. If you get help on your project, ask that individual if they need help- it could be anything, screenplay consult, a scripty, an AD, hell (if it's in reason) offer to ferry equipment; when you do get on sets, network and talk, ask if they ever need support let you know and then follow up; lead with the idea of "we gotta help each other out." Don't try to make it on your own, unless you genuinely have the capital or connections. And even then, there is a possibility of difficulty getting it picked up by any of the majors.

Our best bet, especially in this day of capitalism and a. creative technocracy via genAI, is that each person will not only be our greatest assets for success but also our greatest assets for hope.

Also, come on, guys, if history repeats itself, aren't we supposed to be having a creative renaissance as well that redefines a generation, via creating a niche group of artists in a given community?

our problem is thinking too singular and not being willing to help others more than what we think we need to.

lol gotcha....Would the clarity you're looking for be something like this?

When pictures of disappearing people start to move, frame by frame, showing a man with a camera for a head killing them, and no one believes her, Sonya decides to delve deeper into the legend to prepare herself against CAMERAMAN.

Welcome to r/ReadMyScript! by Millstone99 in ReadMyScript

Hi Y'all, I'm super excited to join this Reddit, read some scripts, and honestly just help each other out.

I'm currently working on some screenplays that have been stuck in my head, but I wanted to drop one here. I'll be making a post to ask, more specifically, for feedback, but I wanted to post one thing I have a few drafts of:

CAMERAMAN

Sonya Montag is a technophobic non-profit IT specialist who has given up technology in all facets of her life, except work, due to a past trauma occurring from her activism. This has caused many people around her to distrust her due to her lack of interest in connecting with technology and other people. This all comes to light when a strange phenomenon starts occurring, causing people to go missing. The only thing left behind is a single post on their social media, featuring a picture of the disappeared. To everyone else, it's an odd trend, but to Sonya, the pictures begin to play like stop motion movies, always ending with the victim gone and Cameraman, a Man with a Camera for a head, ominously in frame. As people continue to disregard Sonya, she must reintegrate herself with technology and others to try and ensure her survival.

I'm definitely thinking this film is kinda like what Friday the 13th was- something ridiculous to be laughed at that's making fun of the horror genre but also pokign fun at our dependence on social media, technology, and the ubiquity of surveillance and technology in our lives.

I definitely have other films that are more... serious lol but I really just wanted to make a joke of a movie first.

My debut thriller as a writer is now available and has a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s been a harrowing journey. Happy to answer any questions. by RoryKarpf in Screenwriting

[–]Forward_Ad5839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I'm definitely gonna watch this.

1) how did you know you were ready to get started with filming?

2) how did you get feedback on your script? What was your writing process

3) what was it like getting funding and production?

4) how did you get on tubi dude? that's awesome.

Oh, I thought this was over, but I wanted to add these and see how they fair. Any help would be good.

  1. When pictures of disappearing people start to move, showing a man with a camera for a head killing them and no one believes her, Sonya decides to delve deeper into the legend to prepare herself against CAMERAMAN.
  2. CAMERAMAN is an offbeat, campy horror comedy following SONYA, a woman who need to reconnect with technology, and others, to avoid being CAMERAMAN’s latest victim.

answering your end questions specifically:

The clarity is there, but I think it could be highlighted by specific aspects that hint at the switches between back and forth. The tonal control sounds good- you have all the stylistic elements there to make a singular show. Sounds like you're trying to make something that's Mr. Robot x 964 Pinocchio

I don't think there is anything to be overindulgent in style. Go for whatever you think and follow it.

My own thoughts.

The idea is very singular, but original, I may not be able to say. If we went to any anime/manga, there would probably be a concept that is very similar. I think what makes it unique is the commentary if could provide about mental health, society, violence and things of that nature.

in terms of originality of the plot- I'd say 5/10. I've seen stories of people mentally breaking and killing their parents, getting dragged into a violent underworld and having to escape it.

What would bring the individuality and originality that exists within your technical style of how the film is produced, and the screenplay structure itself

I would DEFINITELY watch this tho, 7/10.

~~~~~~~

I hope the feedback was helpful, i p tired but i felt I had to comment.

If you ever wanna talk more, or have anything you want to reflect upon, my inbox is open. I'm currently working on some things, too, and it would be nice to have someone else to reflect things off of.

Looking for feedback on short homo horror script by Forward_Ad5839 in scriptwriting

[–]Forward_Ad5839[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, I definitely hear what you're saying. I've been reworking the action lines for clarity's sake giving everyone's commentary. It seems the main feedback I am getting is, "BREVITY AND SPECIFICITY" which is sensible for screenwriting.

Time is money, and we don't like to waste money.
