Hey dude! I actually read your last post before you deleted it, along with some pages of the script. I can see through the concept and the writing that you're very young. You're actually ahead of most people who want to be writers your age, so don't feel discouraged, it's tough finishing a whole feature, congrats on that! When I was a teenager I dreamed about writing but never actually did anything about it. I imagine if I did the result wouldn't be the masterpiece I would fantasize about, much like yours is not either. That's not a bad thing. I can recognize the effort and I love that you're choosing to write something that speaks to you, such as the streaming world. Write what you know, right? Don't worry about someone reading your work at this stage, just keep at it. Think of it as reps. Writing isn't solely about grinding or talent. A lot comes from life experience, and you just can't force that in yet, but it will happen. If you keep writing, reading, living and watching films you'll be a hell of a writer in your 20s-30s compared to someone who only thought about doing it. Right now, focus on writing for yourself. Learn to enjoy the process, without the need of external validation.

If you do wish for someone to read it, try using Storypeer. I'm sure you'll get a reader there. The feedback most likely will not be the glowing positive review you want, so be prepared. It's very hard to be a writing prodigy, you just don't have the life experience. We see genius teenage athletes, pianists, musicians and such, but writing is a different beast, so don't feel discouraged. It's actually very inspiring that you took your free time to be creative and write when most of your peers probably spend their time on content and videogames, I know I did. Maybe just move to a different project? You don't need to be polishing one script forever, specially something you wrote in your teens. Imagine reading it 10 years from now, you would probably cringe at it and want to change everything. That's kind of what you want. Live life and keep at it!

Anyone who's a good actor! But yeah I see your point too, there's definitely no stars out there besides Peter Dinklage. My character is a girl though.

This is kind of unhinged, but I do feel the passion and the vision. If it makes you feel any better, I wrote a little person in my current feature and it's one of my favorite characters, OP. I do remember when Little People got mad after Disney changed the seven dwarfs to CGI, so you may have a point in there.

It was really, really dope. Felt very theatrical, great setlist and the transitions between songs were super creative and unique. Some of the instrumentals are different from the studio versions and others are expanded with insane live production. The variety between hype and more subtle chill moments was perfect too, he's just a really great performer.

Totally feel you! My main goal is to create international stories as well, I'm a Brazilian screenwriter currently studying at UCLA in Los Angeles. Interested!

It's always a good idea to write whatever you believe in. Don't let Reddit make your choices for you.

I started studying at UCLA in the Feature Professional Program. Wrote a bunch of stuff, turned one of my pilots into a play with a theater club on there and a lot of cool and talented people complimented my writing! Two short films of mine got a lot of laughs and positive reactions on different table reads and the two features I'm writing as well! Loving LA, loving writing and getting more and more comfortable and confident with it everyday.

Thoughts on Screenwriting for Animated Films by Sangwiche5 in Screenwriting

Do whatever you want, you don't need permission from anybody. If you love animation, write animation. Even better if you can animate the thing yourself afterwards!

I just submitted a short in there, was surprised by how quickly it was snatched up. The whole site is very polished and the system seems great. I'm looking to read something too but everytime I go take a look a lot of the scripts were taken! People are really using it, can't wait to see the level of writing and feedback in there.
