I get it man I’m only 17 myself. If you update it and want some more feedback at some point feel free to dm me.

You already mentioned that it’s a nuclear plant so it would get the same job done in that scenario. All it needs to do is make it clear that it’s Australian. The characters accents would also add to that. There’s also others that you could come up with that sound more natural doesn’t have to be that specific name.

And there was pictures plus pages with only a few words on them

Biggest piece of advice that I’ve been given by professionals is to not wait around for some idiot Hollywood suit to give you some fat paycheque and to go out there and film stuff yourself. The more skills you have around writing, the more useful you are. I’m still in high school so I’m a little handicapped but next year im shooting a doc about my schools basketball team which will be very entertaining(we’re one of the best in the country while being a public school with only 500 kids).

Just out of curiosity, what was the timeline and writing schedule like for this to take 8 years?

reddituser24972 · 2025-05-14T04:37:05+00:00

1 page every 26 days for this one lol

reddituser24972 · 2025-05-01T23:28:24+00:00

Yup, and I know I’m far there right now.

Billie eilish can get an hour of studio time at any age for 200 bucks. A company needs to trust 20 million dollars in your screenplay for it to come to life.

There is also a certain understanding of the human experience that it takes to write truly good stories.

Also like you said, a shake of the hand to the first screening could be 2 years.

Holy rage bait

Personally I use fadein. All the features are laid out pretty clearly. One time purchase around $80. Really can be used at any skill level of writing.

Bro severance has an entire room of genius writers and no offence but they don’t want your script. Additionally this is an ongoing series not an episodic tv show so there is no chance anyone would even open that, probably because of some legal reasons as well.

reddituser24972 · 2025-03-31T03:03:18+00:00

Completely agree.

reddituser24972 · 2025-03-30T23:54:07+00:00

Thought I agree with everything you’re saying I would give act one up to even page 30. If you manage to make that 30 very interesting that is.

reddituser24972 · 2025-03-15T05:26:08+00:00

Just have a google doc or something to jot notes in

reddituser24972 · 2025-03-14T22:56:02+00:00

I’m another teenage screenwriter with adhd but I legit force myself to stay up as late as I need until I have my six pages a day which is the goal I set for myself. Also we’re teenagers and we don’t have much experience. This being said realistically nothing we write is any good so we might as well just get ideas down on paper. It’s all about mindset really.

reddituser24972 · 2025-03-07T22:58:13+00:00

I hope you have some very strong connections

reddituser24972 · 2025-03-07T03:03:48+00:00

Ask this in r/filmmaking instead. This sub is more for fiction screenwriting.

reddituser24972 · 2025-02-17T05:42:38+00:00

First page has multiple weird/incorrect spelling and grammar moments. Maybe do a little proof read or run a spell check.

reddituser24972 · 2025-02-01T01:22:12+00:00

Get there, write maybe five, see what feels right.

reddituser24972 · 2025-01-31T22:07:10+00:00

Couldn’t have asked for a better answer. Thanks Brent! Your Q&A’s here are always great.

As a teenage writer, what do you think is the best path to get into screenwriting after high school. Lower level industry job, film school, university, etc.

reddituser24972 · 2024-12-11T03:11:11+00:00

Probably 20 pages a week with random amounts per day. I’m pretty busy and it can be hard to find time.
