Hello everyone!
Been thinking for years now about how to get started in the field of scriptwriting and the film industry. I've written a script and I don't have someone to give me notes about my written script because no one has ever read it and I don't know many people who are knowledgeable in that field.
.
I've written a script, so what's next? How can I pitch it? How would I know if it's any good? Youtube videos about scriptwriting and movie analysis are a big help for me so far. From here, I really don't know how to proceed to the next step because I don't know the next step.
This is the reason why I joined Stage 32. To learn or to talk from people from the industry or from people who have a lot of experience in this industry.
Help me out?

Other than what you can do here, at wescreenplay.com you can get your script read and get notes, or they even have a first page review for free.

The blacklist is always a good option. You have to pay for it, but you'll get professional feedback and the scripts that do well get into the hands of the people that matter.

You should find places like coverflyx, zoetrope, reddit screenwriting to find people to read your script, you might have to trade feedback with someone. You should keep writing and try to move on to something else for now and come back to that for a rewrite after some notes.

Suggest you join an online screenwriting short course and workshop your script there. You'll get feedback and notes from the tutor. They ptobably won't have time to cover the whole script but it's a good place to start. Use what seems like established colleges rather than just dome guy.

Hi Guen - Stage 32 offers the best script services IMO so you’ve taken a great step in joining the community. Stage 32 script services offers one-on-one consultations with working professionals in the industry and I’ve always found those to be most helpful. AZ Yeaman’s 3-level journey to a top flight completed script is a fabulous resource as well - here is a link to her level 1 and her level 2 will be announced shortly: https://www.stage32.com/classes/4-Steps-to-Writing-your-Feature-Film-fir... Please lwt me know if I can be of any more help yo you. Happy writing!

Hi, Guen Manlunas. How are you doing?
Stage 32 has a lot of information and advice on writing scripts and pitching. You can check out the Screenwriting lounge, the blogs, and the webinars (some cost money, some are free). You can exchange scripts with people on Stage 32. That's a way to get notes.
I'll share screenwriting advice with you if you like. You're welcome to message me.

Gwen. I got coverage notes and feedback from readers here on Stage 32 for my screenplay, and they were extremely helpful, I learned a lot. The prices are very reasonable here and they give good, constructive feedback.

I always work with a co-writer/ editor who is an expert ( cops for cop dramas, etc.)
