Introduce Yourself : New screenwriter who has no idea what he's doing by Gregory Gochtovtt

Ok... Then is there a place I can post my screenplay for feedback?

Good Luck Gregory!

When you find out, LMK. Welcome to the forums. :)

You already started by joining this remarkable platform. Now go to the Screenwriting Lounge and soak it in.

Join the crowd my friend. ... :-)) Nice to see you on board. I would say use this opportunity to decide whether you are looking for an agent to promote your hard work. An established producer to pitch your work too. Or maybe you have your own production company and are looking to network potential partnerships to fulfill many aspirations. You've come to the right place to pursue your screenwriting dreams. Good luck, all the best.

Agree Paul Scavitto Volger has some style. I was excited to see that he is going to be at this Stage 32 Los Angeles event. I'll be attending. https://www.stage32.com/blog/Stage-32-and-Michael-Wiese-Productions-Pres...

Thank you all for the advice everyone. I am broker than a China vase, but I have a dream of one day being an actor (specifically in Medieval movies. I own armor, swords, and am knowledgeable in swordplay.)

Thank you Jeff, I am honored.

Welcome to Stage 32, Gregory!

Thank you Jake.

Thanks David.

Get a Screenwriters Bible or some other reference on proper formatting. If you can't first format your script correctly, nothing else matters. Nobody would read your thoughts on algebra if you didn't know how to do simple math.

I actually have Final Draft, Travis... does all the work for you.

Read screenplays. All you can find.

Greetings Gregory - we do indie fantasy films, www.TheForgeStudios.com & I may be able to help you work towards your writing dream... www.IndieFilmCoach.com - all the best,

I hope your Final Draft comment was in humor. If it wasn't then you missed the point. Software tells you where to put things but part of formatting is knowing WHAT BELONGS in those spots. For example, action only in action lines. One of the biggest mistakes early folks make (and I still do) is putting information in action lines that doesn't belong there. So it's great you have final draft but you need a screenwriter's bible to make sure you are putting the correct information where Final Draft sets you up to put it.

Hey now Laura- see above - I called dibs on the mathematical analogies.

Gregory, I do not assume to know your goal: do you plan to direct film yourself or use it to launch career/sale to producers? That being said, you can enter contests like Nicols, put it on the screenplay websites like the Blacklist or pitch it to agents or producers. Other writers here may feel that you are going to ruin your writer's reputation before you understand the game. Then when you finally write better, people will assume it is like your older stuff. Good luck.

Like I said... I have no idea what I am doing. But feel free to make suggestions on the screenplay in my profile.
