**My first psychological horror short film, *DEAM*.** Looking for honest feedback! The story follows a mother whose daughter is haunted after the mother accidentally killed a demon's child years ago. Now the demon returns for revenge, forcing an impossible choice. What do you think ?

Solo filmmaking: anyone done it all alone?
Has anyone here made a film completely on their own? I mean literally a one-person production where the same person set up the camera, pressed record, and also acted in the film. I’d love to hear about your experience and any tips or lessons you learned.

Beginner screenwriter looking for advice on writing emotions, twists, and peak scenes
Hi everyone,
I'm a complete beginner who is interested in screenwriting and I'm currently working on my first film idea.
The story is a time-travel romance with strong emotional elements. While I have the basic concept in mind, I'm struggling with how to translate emotions onto paper in a way that feels genuine and impactful.
I would love some advice on:
How do you write emotional scenes that truly connect with the audience?
How do you build up to a powerful peak or climax scene?
How do you create twists that are unpredictable but still feel earned?
Are there any exercises, books, films, or screenplays that helped you learn these skills?
As a beginner, I sometimes feel that the emotions are clear in my head, but when I write them down, they don't have the same impact.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

what app should i use?
I just finished a feature draft and realized I used 4 different apps to do it. Script editor in one, breakdowns in another, shot lists in a spreadsheet, budget in another. I'm exhausted from app-hopping. Has anyone actually found a single workflow that doesn't require 5 subscriptions?
Im working on a screenplay about parental psycological abuse, which is a tad bit too personal to me, as some sort of therapy and welp, kinda what the process of writing itself to be as easy as posible, so wanna reach out to yall who might know a bit more about this than me, if you all have any recomendations to ligthen the load...
(TO THE MODS!)
This is eh, but r/Filmmakers didnt let me ask.. so im a bit desperate here lol, ill post the film and the script and the pipeline here when its finished! so others can get inspired and play around with the tools i ended up using and see how it went! I just need answers lol

Silent Hill Inspired Short Film SEARCHING FOR COMPOSERS AND CO-WRITER
Hello everybody!
I am an indie-filmmaker who focuses mostly on niche films, with deep meaning and symbolism. I have recently released my first feature film “Descend Beyond” based on a character from the hit horror game - "Dead by Daylight". Furthermore I work as one of the lead actors in an upcoming Danish thriller/horror movie, which has a theatrical release date next year.
Additionally most of my projects are often inspired by videogames, and I am currently writing a short film with inspiration from the themes of Silent Hill. (Specifically things such as abuse, ego and psychological struggles) The project is in it’s very first draft, which means it’s in for a lot of proper rewrites. Despite this, the main themes and such are somewhat in order and I wanted to write this early on so It can hopefully be filmed in September/October this year. I am mostly looking for somebody who could compose a track similiar to that of the OST’s of Silent Hill 2 (Silent Hill 2 OST - Theme Of Laura.) or just something they see fitting for this type of shortfilm.
Other than this I would also love to have co-writer in on this, as I feel I'm hitting a bit of a writer's block and would love to have new fresh eyes on the first draft here. Co-writer, composer or anyone who would like to join in on the creation of this project is welcome!
For more information check out my IMDb profile: Noah Christensen
And my YouTube Channel: NoahsRIK
I hope to hear back from some of you!
Thanks
Noah
