Thanks, April. I always enjoy the Hatch film festival here in Montana, but I have not yet gone to any other film festivals.

April Ranck

Hi Anne, great to meet you and welcome to Arlington International Film Festival. My best,

Thanks, Isaiah.

Writing dialogue

Just finished reading Richard Price's THREE SCREENPLAYS: THE COLOR OF MONEY, SEA OF LOVE, AND NIGHT AND THE CITY (New York: Grove Press, 1993). The introductory interview by Neal Gabler alone is worth the price of the used paperback. Excellent interview and excellent screenplays, which include a sho...

I met Price when he gave a scriptwriting workshop at a Hatch film festival in Bozeman, Montana, about ten years ago. A gracious person, not like his tough and rough NYC characters.

Bill Costantini

Richard Price is a great dramatist, and was first a novelist before hyphenating to screenwriter. So to be a great novelist AND a great screenwriter is nothing short of stunning. The man is quite simpl...

Have you ever had to write something you didn't care about? Think back to high school, college, grad school, or even your job - there must have been some paper

I enjoy your comments in the Business of Film class on the FutureLearn platform.

Vince Jeffers

Thanks Anne, I have learned a lot from the FutureLearn courses and I hope you do as well.

Anne Millbrooke

Yes, I enjoy the courses and the clean platform, but it becoming time for me to finish to a script as the next one keeps poking ideas into my mind.

Thanks, Miguelito. New to Stage 32, I'm still learning the platform.

Anne Millbrooke, Reader and Writer

Hi. I'm a writer currently living in Bozeman, Montana. As a historical consultant, I contributed in a small way to Eight Men Out, Rocketeer, various documentaries, and some film projects that never reached production. I have attended and volunteered at many Hatch film festivals, where I enjoyed a sc...

Thanks for the additional links. Those were provided in the MOOC I took: An Introduction to Screenwriting, taught by Michael Lengsfield and three other screenwriters via University of East Anglia on the FutureLearn platform. An excellent brief introduction.

Elisabeth Meier

I know FutureLearn too and use it, but I simply searched on Google for "screenplays online free" and wrote down the first results.

Anne Millbrooke

I simply listed the one that meets my current needs. Also, I found that a simple search by the title of a movie in quotation marks and the word screenplay will pop up the desired screenplay.

Conrad Ekeke
Issues with same titles

When you write a script and the title of the script is exactly that of a movie, is that considered as plagiarism? Given you've written on a totally different idea.

Conrad Ekeke

Hahahah, yes Brian that's the whole point.

Anne Millbrooke

Even though titles cannot be copyrighted, and thus reuse of titles occurs, titles can be protected by trademarks, and there is the question whether the title's previous use brings positive association to the audience's mind.

Conrad Ekeke

Yes Anne, that last part is also an excellent issue. Especially when you have a good idea but the previous one was just some dumb movie no one gets to see the end.
