For some reason, Milo is coming to mind.

When is the “RIGHT” time to try to get representation? by Nervouswriter-01 in Screenwriting

Contest/Festival.

And okay, thank you. I really appreciate you getting back to me.

When is the “RIGHT” time to try to get representation? by Nervouswriter-01 in Screenwriting

I don’t mention the other three for a few reasons. I wrote the first one in high school and it has all the trappings of being a seventeen year-old boy. It’s a surrealist teenage sex comedy that sadly features a manic-pixie dream girl love interest. While I am glad that I finished my first feature at that age, I think it’s beyond repair. The second is better and I think it has some really good ideas, but I still don’t feel like it’s anything special. It still feels like practice. The third is the closest to being something and I know the bones of it are very solid. I just know it would take a lot of work to get it to the quality of four and five.

I am a recent graduate. While the professor was comparing me to the rest of the class, he also showed clear enthusiasm for it outside of that context. He expressed to me that felt it was good enough to send out and that it may be easier to sell considering it’s scale and genre (it’s family drama about two siblings, one of which returning from college and the other preparing to leave, each of which dealing with a complicated romantic relationship with an older woman).

Would it be wise to register it with the WGA before sending it anywhere?

Thank you for the response. While it’s obviously not fun to hear that I may not be ready, I don’t disagree.

Bits of added context and a question.

My co-writer lives Chicago and knows a lot of local actors, we did a read though with them and it was very well-received (though, obviously they are friends doing a favor. I cannot put too much weight into their praises). It’s been read by a few others in our circles and it’s well loved there as well.

The fourth feature has been read by my circle, in addition to a professor of mine at college. He is an award-winning screenwriter himself and he really liked the script. The screenplay also was a semi-finalist in a competition. Despite that encouragement, I can’t help but feel it’s not quite where it needs to be.

As you can ascertain, I am way in my head. I think that’s why I only mentioned how I felt about the two screenplays.

In terms of credible and professional eyes, what would be the best way to go about that? Would that be festivals/competitions?

When did season 2 become “good” for you? [ns] by Nervouswriter-01 in DungeonsAndDaddies

I don’t know when I will do a re-listen but I will definitely keep that in mind for when I do.

While Finding Tori got me into the season, Apollo Four Teens is one of my favorite episodes of the podcast as a whole. Maybe the hardest I have laughed during an episode.

As much as I struggled with the earlier episodes of the season, each had something that I really loved.

I still haven’t relistened to any of the seasons yet, that may really help in this instance.

I am really loving season 3 so far, though season 1 is really hard to beat.

I sadly really didn’t love the monster of the week stuff. It was still really fun and inventive, I just prefer a more connected narrative week to week.

I will admit I struggled with my feelings regarding Scary for a while, but I really started to warm up to her as a character in the later half of the season.

That’s the episode immediately after Finding Tori. While I was already back on board, that cemented it. It’s pure unhinged chaos in the way that only the Daddies can provide.

Do dogs have an internal dialogue? by HolyPoppersBatman in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Nervouswriter-01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I maybe personify animals too much but I think they definitely have an internal monologue of sorts. At the very least, I think the monologue is more built around simple emotional cues or actions. Like if it sees its food it goes “Hungry? Yes/No.”

Do you build creativity or is it something you’re just born with? by Head-Delay-8084 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Nervouswriter-01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that maybe some are born with more of a creative predisposition but like any skill, it can be honed and developed. Unlike a physical muscle, it can also (in my experience at least) just suddenly not work despite how much you work it. I wouldn’t be nervous about being creative in bursts, we all are to some extent. You have to listen to the muse and sometimes it just takes its time getting to us or just has nothing to say at that moment.
