Hi everyone. I have been away for a bit but I will be checking in more frequently from now on. I am a screenwriter, low case director. I have a short film script that I was hoping to get feedback on, check my log lines to see it. I have written 2 feature scripts, one of which has been sold. I am also working on a 3rd one at the moment. I will read your scripts and give some feedback as well, if you want. I have met some really great people on this site since I joined up!

Maurice Vaughan thanks! That means that I direct stuff but nothing too crazy anymore.

Maurice Vaughan it's future noir/thriller, I guess.

Kind of like "Blade Runner," Jack Hilkewich?

Kind of, Maurice Vaughan but very minimal sci-fi elements. It's a very heightened imagining of an extreme near future.

Sounds interesting, Jack Hilkewich. I'd watch it. Keep us posted on your scripts. And hope you sell the other two!

I have the outline started for the script, Maurice Vaughan and as soon as I am done editing my documentary I will get moving on the script. The working title is "Persephtion". The misspelling is intentional. What about you? Last time I was around here you had signed a shopping deal, if I'm not mistaken.

I like intentional misspellings in titles, Jack Hilkewich. I do the same thing with some of my scripts.
The shopping agreement expired, but I've been working on the pitch material to make it even better. I'm finishing up a ghostwriting job, working on a feature spec script, and pitching scripts.

Hi sir, can I ask you where do you sell your scripts and how to find agents? How to join the industry? Thank you!

Premton Kryeziu I do not have any good answers for you. I do not have an agent. I just entered a few contests and received some recognition from them, which led to my script being purchased. I only have 2 feature scripts under my belt and I think you need to have a few more before trying to get an agent but I am not an expert on that. Once I am done with my 3rd script I will enter it into some contests again and see if that will bring some attention to it.
Ashley Renee Smith Thanks! I will be posting more in the future and hopefully reading other's scripts and cheering them on.

Hi Jack! Great to meet you, too. I'm happy to do a script swap if that's something you want to do. I recently finished a screenplay that I'm very excited about, it's the most personal thing I've ever written. Anyway, reach out if you want to swap scripts. J R

J R O'Hara let's do this! I have a short film I wrote 35 years ago, recently found on an old floppy. I am trying to figure out if it's worth reworking or not. I could use some advice. I would love to read your script.
Morne Patterson thank you!

Pat Alexander Thanks. If I can use any of my experience to help anyone here I will certainly try. I wouldn't have been able to do what I have done over the years without a helping hand from others.
