Introduce Yourself : Twenty years old and excited for my first feature film by Arthur Lipan

Twenty years old and excited for my first feature film

Hello everyone!

My name is Arthur. I'm an Indonesian screenwriter, director and producer. I've been writing screenplays since 2017, mostly in English. I am studying in a pretty well known Film School in my country and is looking to be placed in a writers room next semester.

I'm currently on the post production phase on my first feature film which is set to release on June. It's an extremely low budget film and I've made it specifically for my fans on a very specific niche that I'm not going to get into. Do bear in mind, the logline sounds good in my native country but sounds horrible in English but I'll give it a try. It goes like this:

It's a drama romance film with the format of a "Screenlife" film about a woman who hires herself virtual boyfriend to keep her company after a tough breakup, finds out that the virtual boyfriend that she hired is actually her own ex. It's Her (2013) but Theodore finds out that Samantha is not an AI but is actually his ex.

I know it sounds like a small feet to produce an extremely low budget "Screenlife" film and I am aware that this movie is not going to be my big break in the industry but I am excited for what the future holds. Hopefully I get to move out of my country soon to pursue my career in Hollywood. I am humbled, hopeful and eager to learn.

PS: Since English is my second language, I'm sorry if there are some grammar and spelling mistakes. I'm really just excited to type this post down.

Hello there!

My name is Scarllet and i am 29 years old. I’ve been through any kind of situation you can imagine; since going out with the most famous actor in Brazil until my uncle killer himself at my house putting a bomb in his mouth. I have a life story that can make you laugh, make you cry, make you feel chocked, and ask how a borderline and bipolar person has handle everything alone since 18 years old. My dream is to make a series of my life, I’m some way that in the end of each episode (or mostly each) I have a personal little video about the moment that was showed. Someone tried to killed me, my mom abandoned me, my father has a woman that hates me.. anyways… I think I can have already 5 seasons.

Tell me what you think about it.

Best regards,

Scarllet.
