Hello filmmaker friends! 👋 🎬

I'm a freelance producer who has worked on other people's projects in the past, and now I'm looking for a script to produce and direct myself as a portfolio piece. My preference is:

- Dialogue-led drama or comedy
- Under 20 pages
- Easy-to-scout locations
- Written through the female gaze, with a female or otherwise underrepresented lead

Write about what already happens to marginalized folks, but let it happen to white people

What is the correct way?
A media storm break out
Or rather-
A media storm breaks out
??
I think the second option is the right way however MS Word insists to correct it to the first option 🤔🥺

Until today, the great majority of podcasts intended for writers in general and screenwriters in particular, started well and slowly deteriorated into private humor of the presenter... frustrating...🤷🏾‍♂️
I would very much like to hear from someone a recommendation for a quality podcast that continues to have added value for screenwriters episode after episode.🙏🏽

It is especially difficult to write an introduction scene for a villainous character ( taking into account I don't consider myself a villain🤷🏾‍♂️).
Actions that villains take, words they speak...
For something good to emerge, one is in need to go deep within.
I read the scene in question to my partner yesterday. She told me that the character is a piece of shit.
I consider har reaction as a success. 😁

It's likely one of the reasons we have so many formulaic scripts floating around is because too many writers feel constricted by supposed screenwriting 'rules.' https://gointothestory.blcklst.com/there-are-no-screenwriting-rules-246e029f5c10 #screenwriting #writing

“There are no screenwriting rules” - Go Into The Story

No matter what you have read or may have heard. Perhaps the source is a so-called screenwriting “guru.” Maybe it’s a friend. A member of your writer’s group. Whoever it is, if they tell you there are…

For my pilot, I created seven main characters around whom the series would revolve. It has only been recently that I have made the decision as to which of the seven will be the main character. This character will have contrasting traits that will clash with each other and also with the other characters...🤔😃
