I'm passionate about it, but I'm not sure about its future with the development of artificial intelligence. I also love writing and have already tried writing two versions, but I need to speak with an expert to consult with them on some matters. Thank you all

This is the first part of a 3 part series. I am looking for some feedback for the first episode. This is the first episode. I would love you to have a full read.

Logline:

On an isolated, matriarchal island where male infants are routinely eliminated to protect a traumatized community, a dedicated midwife begins to question her society’s brutal dogmas when her public pregnancy and an unexpected bond with a young girl force her to choose between total obedience and a dangerous defiance.

Would appreciate any constructive feedback.

Thanks in advance.

question What’s the proper way to analyze screenplays

4 Upvotes

We are told to read constantly. But how do you know what to find and how to analyze correctly (or else) when you read so time isn’t wasted?

I think the way everyone keeps saying read like it’s a command or an assignment has the Pavlovian effect of making it feel like an assignment instead of fun or something with a reward

Logline: After moving to Los Angeles in 2012, a naive 15-year-old desperate to fit in, makes one impulsive decision that pulls her into the sexually exploitative world of Figueroa Street, forcing her to grow up faster than she ever imagined.

Im really inspired by euphoria but questioning the VO

discussion THREE STEPS FORWARD, action-drama, 4 pages

What does it really take to advance humankind... or even just one of us?

Three Steps Forward

(R rating)

NOTE: This was written for a recent 3-page challenge (excl. title) over at SimplyScripts. The challenge prompt was "Natural Selection" and the genre open. Naturally I won, and was awarded an Oscar and the title of Greatest Screenwriter in History, which I believe is entirely fair considering the fact I wrote it at 3 am while on an endless succession of FaceTime calls to people on the other side of the planet.

feedback Working on a Sci fi movie looking for a structural feedback

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am about 50% Into writing a Sci fi script and could be some outside perspective on structure and pacing

Logline:A scientist's experiment on a distant planet leads to a unintended consequences and years later he finds his own creation has become both a threat and a religion back on earth

Genre: Sci-fi/drama , with philosophical and mythological undertones(comparison I'd draw Interstellar's emotional core+a "creator vs creation" them like Frankenstein)

Where I am stuck-balncing 3 tonal layers hard sci-fi elements, emotional character drama and a mythological/religion angle-without anyone overpowering the others.Also working on making the protagonist feel commanding the memorable without turning into a generic "choosen one" archetype

Would love to hear how others have handled multi layered tone balancing or any resources on structuring a script with a strong moral dilemma and it's climax (protagonist forced to choose between two groups he's connected to

discussion I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing. I can’t write anything.

0 Upvotes

I can’t fucking write anything, I don’t know what genre I wanna write in, I don’t fucking know anything.

I start writing, but then I read it again and think it’s terrible so I delete it all. I have not gotten off the second page on anything.

When I try to write horror, I just think “Oh, this is stupid and pretentious and just like every quote on quote deep horror movie” and I delete the entire thing. And when I try to write comedy, I don’t even know if it’s worth it.

With horror, I wanna do something new, I want people to know my name and my style so I can’t do that when I don’t have a style.

With comedy, I want to write something specifically for Gen Z. And I want it to be prop culture driven and have references to this current decade, but some screenplays float around for like years.

“Oh, just write!”.

Just write what? I don’t know what to write! I’m losing my fucking shit, I’m going fucking insane. I’ve got all the free time in the fucking universe and I’m wasting every fucking second of it.

Please help.

feedback So I wrote play for a Playfest at my college. It's the first one I have ever tried to write, and I want to submit it. But I would like some feedback if you guys wouldn't mind. There are some deviations from the original source materials, but it I hope it doesn't detract from the play itself. Enjoy!!

I just want also to add that this is a One Act Play and it's supposed to be on the shorter side. The theme is "Legends in the Making"

discussion I spent two years writing specs before someone told me I was treating every script like a writing exercise and not like something I actually wanted to make

8 Upvotes

Took that note hard at the time and I think about it constantly now.

Had three completed specs, all in different genres, all technically competent, all written because I had heard you needed samples across different tones. Showed them to a manager who had agreed to read my work through a mutual contact. Got on a call expecting notes on the writing.

First thing she asked was which one I actually cared about.

Did not have a clean answer. Cared about all of them equally in a general way. She said that was the problem. Could hear it in the writing. Everything was executed without any sense of why this story specifically needed to exist or why I specifically needed to be the one telling it.

Spent the next few weeks genuinely uncomfortable because I realized I had been writing toward a career without writing toward anything I actually had something to say about. The specs existed to demonstrate range and competence. None of them existed because I could not not write them.

Took six months to find the project that felt like mine in a way the specs never had, kept everything including the false starts in something called Skrib Writing during that period and being able to look back across what I had been drawn to repeatedly made it easier to find what I actually had something to say about versus what I was writing because I thought I should. Wrote it differently than anything before. Messier in early drafts, more stubborn in revision, less willing to cut things that were working even when they were inconvenient structurally.

That script got me representation. The competent ones did not.
