Film Proposal

Mavandenberg,

I'm sorry to disappoint, but you really have your work cut out for you.  Screenwriting is a craft -- a serious profession requiring many years of practice and study.   Your lack of competence with grade-school grammar and sentence structure does not bode well for your ability to do expert-level work.

You don't just decide "I wanna go be an astronaut!"  "I wanna go be a prima ballerina!"  "I wanna go be a concert pianist!"  and then express your wishes on the internet, leading to a phone call from NASA, etc.  You have to train for many, many years and make many sacrifices to climb to the top of a highly competitive field. 

The same goes for a career in screenwriting (or novel writing, or any writing field).  There is, unfortunately, a misconception that anyone who's seen a few movies can bang out a script.  This is simply not the case.  This misconception stems from a general ignorance regarding the lengthy and circuitous development process, which frequently destroys scripts that were initially brilliant.

To be frank, your posts demonstrate a very low level of writing proficiency, which tells me that you need to work on basic writing mechanics before you can even begin to think of doing more advanced work.  If you want a job that only one in a million will ever qualify for, you will have to work VERY hard.  Practice, practice, pratice, and maybe after you've written ten outstanding scripts you can begin to seek an agent. 

They say on the News Stars don't go Online, how do they know these things are Online then?

Now I believe that's some of them probably do look Online. 

I get it now Online when you say don't etc it means yes.

Just like no means yes.

Sometimes I wish there's a quicker way to write Screenplays than 45 to 100 Pages cause it seems to a cost a fortune with a lot of Stationary etc that has to go with it and it doesn't help with the Trees for we need the Trees to help us to breathe on Planet Earth.

To save the Trees as Arnold Shwartznegger President of California is suppose to be doing then I say Hollywood is gonna probably have to make some changes to the way we write Screenplays and what we use for Screenplays in Stationary.

Computers is the one answer that we already do Screenplays on then perhaps just send Screenplays via Email and or Disk and have a device to put it on I believe they already coming up with screen devices for Books as I saw on the News.

For Quade

I personally don't like Screenplay film festivals cause you have to pay for them whereas I already got an Agent that still could be selling one of my Screenplays for me costing me nothing with my Agent.

I believe we the Writers should get paid for when sold a Screenplay not the other way round cause we've paid enough for Computer, Paper, Printer and Ink Cartridges when we get paid for it then they get paid from it just like when you sell a House the Estate Agent & Solicitor gets paid afterwards for doing the work that's how they did it with me.

Wildsound is another film festival where they do actually get well known Stars to come and read the Scripts then they actually go out and make the Films which the stars of Wildsound are Jeff Bridges from Starman.

Thanks for your information, quade.

Big Hollywood isn't going to be watching this web site very closely to find a script, if at all.

What they do watch are film festivals and the major script competitions.  Not Joe Schmoe's film festival, not your Aunt Tillie's script competition, but the major ones.  Want them to notice you?  Enter and make it through a few rounds of the Nicholls.  Your phone won't stop ringing.  But you better have that quality of script, another one waiting in the wings and a third you're just starting on; each one better than the one before it.

Nobody said this was going to be easy.
