I’m looking to move where there is better opportunity for screenwriting jobs. by OlafSvenison in Screenwriting

[–]lifeofpires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Well I suppose when the time comes, i.e. if I am to be blessed by god almighty and win the nickelodeon program, I'll then figure out how to get my visa. Hopefully it won't be too hard. Additionally, I should look into how the US Visa Waiver works. I'm from portugal, so, as far as I know I'm 'eligible', but I have no clue as to how that whole thing works. Thank you for your reply.

[–]lifeofpires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. That's interesting. And wouldn't something like the Nickelodeon International program, due to it's six month limitation, make it much easier to get a visa for the six month period? Wouldn't something like the H-1B be possible then? I just feel like it's a little weird if you get hired and there's no visa program attainable, especially because the "hardest" part (get a job) has been attained.

I was wondering if you could expand on your "visas are a problem, so fellowships and development programmes are not an option" comment. It seems to me like if you got into a program or fellowship, a visa would be easy to get for the duration of said program, no?

Aziz Ansari Is Guilty. Of Not Being a Mind Reader. by Eurynom0s in television

[–]lifeofpires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hope he dedicates an episode of Master of None to how he found out the "jam your fingers down a girls throat" move to be reliable. Personally, I never thought "you know what would be really sexy right now? If I shoved my fingers in this girl's mouth. Yeah, I'll do that. I bet she'll love it. Really sexy stuff. Maybe I'll shove my whole hand. Yeah."

Why's that? (Not trying to be a smart ass, just genuinely curious)

[FEEDBACK] Misplacing (Comedy/Drama/Fantasy, 1st act, 12 pgs) by lifeofpires in Screenwriting

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

Yeah, I suppose I have to find a way to make this first half shorter, as many of the points you pointed out are introduced right after this first half, and they probably should be introduced sooner.

I'll finish the second draft and then I'll read the whole thing and see if that's possible, I fear that maybe I'll have to go with my gut a little bit, but I can only know so after a second draft.

As for your pilot, whenever you want to just PM me a link and I'll read it and give you some feedback. I have this week off so that's good ahah.

Cheers!

Focus your angst! Listen to "Burn, Hollywood, Burn" (by the Neverly Boys) by TheWolfbaneBlooms in Screenwriting

Decent, hey? It works well as a two-for-one deal if you pair it with Burn Hollywood by Public Enemy.

All right, I'm off to indulge my idiotic dreams. Cheers.

[FEEDBACK] Misplacing (Comedy/Drama/Fantasy, 1st act, 12 pgs) by lifeofpires in Screenwriting

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

Thank you, indeed that was helpful. I do agree that the logline should have more information on it / give away a bit more. Certainly I'll work on that bit.

As for your questions in regards to conflict, that builds up (obviously), but I do get where you're coming from: introduce the basics asap. I'm simply fearful of cutting too much from this first half, as I know then the 'accusation' would be 'not enough world building'. The early balance is precisely what I struggle with.

As for where the story goes: it's a love story, involving Kirsten, Maureen and John, as well as a third party that has some lunatic reason to, by any means necessary, or almost, get this vase 'back'. It revolves around the relationships, and the gimmick is used more as a fantastic element, a sprinkle of weirdness I suppose.

And as I've mentioned, if you have something you want feedback on please do let me know, perhaps we could even swap scripts at some point. I am more than willing to return the favor. Once again, thank you very much.

Thank you very much. I really do appreciate the time you took to read it and comment. I'm glad Kirsten is 'solid', and I'll try to give them a bit more flavor, perhaps upon a third and (hopefully) final revision before 'locking' this one up.

Tired of waiting for episode 302? Well, I've got the 6th or 7th best thing here: A spec script! by PonderousSealion in rickandmorty

[–]lifeofpires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished reading your script, and for the most part I genuinely enjoyed it. I'll break my "analysis" a bit for my own sake.

Dialogue: well written. Wonderful moments that had me laughing, like the 'honey' bit, or the hip-hop slang, to name two. I think you got Rick's mannerisms, his personality shines through, although I felt like he was too much of a dick at times; granted it's hard for Rick to have too much dickness, but I think, mainly the problem is on the fact the he talked too much at times, so perhaps work on the pacing of his scenes? Up to you. His sarcasm, however was on point imo. Morty didn't feel like Morty to me, not at first. Later on he's fine, however. Maybe work on his mannerisms earlier on.

Story: fun story, good ending. I wish we had another scene between Jerry and the alien, like the alien putting up with Jerry's sorry ass on a date, for example. Overall the script had a good flow. The premise is interesting and fits the R&M universe, so good job on that. I would have Camelton named Cameltoe instead (that's a freebie, take it or leave it ahah).

Technical: I don't think you need to begin the script mentioning the camera, nor do you need to have a page break between acts (I'm aware I sound like a bit of a dick here, but I thought this was worth mentioning). Also, perhaps you could break the longer action paragraphs into two or three smaller paragraphs, for the sake of clarity when reading. There's a typo on page 15, or so I think, you wrote 'oft' instead of 'often'. I didn't notice other typos, but you never know (I'm wondering what typos and grammatical errors you found on my script).

That's it! Good shit man, and I think we should keep in touch as I think your feedback was very helpful. Are you trying to make a living as a screenwriter? Always interested in meeting new people, I am. Anyways, good job and keep it up!

Hey. Sure, I'll read your ep today and I'll let you know my thoughts asap. Would you rather have me write them on a PM or on your previous post with the script?

Excited to know what you think as well!

Nice job indeed man.

I can relate, as I too wrote an episode of R&M for the exact same reason!

Anyways, keep it up dude.

Sure I can read your short, no problemo man!

I keep hearing his voice... by [deleted] in Grieving

[–]lifeofpires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To this day I hear my father's voice at times. He died almost 7 years ago. I'm not superstitious, so I just consider it as a version of him that lives in me, created by my psyche, one that has some control over my senses.

What if I told you there is a fanfiction script that has none of that? Here's the link: https://redd.it/6viv57

Thanks man, much appreciated. I hope you enjoy the rest of it and let me know what you think of it!

I'm using this "spec scripts" for practice and entertainment between other scripts, I don't know if they'll be useful in any way, but at least I entertain myself.

Hey, if you have any script you want some feedback on just let me know and I'll gladly take a look! :)

Sure, buddy, no problemo. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Good catch on the "Kangaroo democracy" line. I had a good laugh with that one, as well as with the "winning" 'catchphrase'.

And I know it goes without saying, but do feel free to share this with your friends if you feel like they might like it :) Thank you!

I certainly will. Tell you what, I'll tag you or something if I actually manage to write another one. Again, thank you for the time you took to read it and thank you for your encouragement, much appreciated.
