Crisinta M

New to screenwriting

Hello, I'm Cris, I just finished my very first screenplay, it's not great but at least writing it is over. I have always loved writing and usually do short stories just for the fun of it but I thought this time I would try my hand a something new and see what happen. Grateful for any tips anyone has. Please check out my logline and synopsis and give feedback, thanks.

Cara Rogers

Put it in a drawer and write another. Then another and another and another. :)

James Welday

Welcome! If you need an extra set of eyes on your script, I’d be happy to read it.

Crisinta M

thank so much guys for the welcome. I may need another set of eyes on it. Thanks James, Maurice. I want to enter it in a few of the contest coming up, It's no where near ready yet. I know I have so much work to do still.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Crisinta M. I'll read the script when you're ready to share it.

Greg Lyon

First, don't sell yourself short. Second, I often read poor scripts that can make wonderful movies, they just need some work.

Several people have offered to read your script. pick one or two. I would be willing to read it as well. I don't know your background so it is hard to recommend steps to take.

Jo Gomesh

Welcome, Crisinta! I guess we are in the same boat! I finished my first screenplay last month!
