Screenwriting : Not even my brother by Martino Frera

Martino Frera

Not even my brother

hello people!

this is Martino, a half Italian and half Spanish boy.

Bad luck, in Spain people speak Spanish, and italians speak Italian.

So despiste my efforts my English will never ever be perfect.

Years ago, 2012, I wrote my first screenplay, in Italian. First thing I did was to to send "Amateur" to an Italian producer, Gianluca Arcopinto, whom is super famous for to have discovered many italians directos....and he liked it and wanted to make a movie, and me as director (bad idea).

But as you know, I guess, in the film industry most of times to want something is not enough, we depend of many things, not even a producer is free to do whatever he wants. So the project died slowly, even before to be born.

The disappointment was deep so I kept working as Assistant Director (I can't complain!) and forgot my screenplay somewhere in my Mac. Til last year when I traduced it in English thinking that it will open many doors.

The problem, as you probably noticed, is that my English is not good enough. So I sent my screenplay to a couple of English friends and to my brother (his is the lucky one, his English is perfect) asking to correct it....and no one even read it.

So today a friend of mine told me about stage32. Honestly I did not get how it works, so I started introducing myself. I don't even understand if this web side is for free, if I need to invite 5 friends....suddenly my English is even worse!

I am here looking for a native English speaker with some experience with screenplays....to try it again, because I love my job but my soul still asks me to keep writting!

Where should I post "Amateur"?

thanks!

Your English is a thousand times better than my Spanish or Italian.
