Umm..i usually THINK and THINK about writing one, sometimes even start them. But I always end up deleting them. It's sad. One of these days I'm going to finish one.
How would you feel about sharing your screenplay? I LOVE reading other peoples work.
I could do that, but someone suggested I get it copywritten first. I'm not a writer, I just got this idea in my head and the screenplay wrote itself. I've gotten some positive feedback from my friends. I doubt I'll ever write anything else that's meaningful or even this good. If you PM me I'll email it to you.
What's your screenplay about? I think if I had to do my life over, I would have chosen to pursue film making, but I was way too practical when I was young.
you don´t need a screenwriting program, I bought a book for 6 pounds how to make filmmaking they explain how to write a script in a 6 pages.
I´ve written 3 screenplays now, the one im proudest of is the one that is based on a close friend of mine who has gonna through loads of crap. I might sell it if anyone wants to buy it.
I´m hoping to study a film course at any London university. Im about to finish my degree, and me and a friend are going to create a web series soon :)
You can also just look it up on the web easily by going to screenplay competitions and seeing the their rules. Formats differ depending on the type of script you are writing; TV, documentary, experimental, fiction. Also, the production company always has certain things that they will want on the script; i.e. scene numbering or certain way of pagination.
Copyrighting is a good idea if you are going to put it into competitions or send it out to agents. It only cost $45, maybe more now. But the process is really easy.

You can do a poor man's copyright by sealing it in an envelope and sending it to yourself then don't open it when you receive it. Just save it for if it should ever been needed.
Agents are difficult to get... best way to go is competitions. Final Draft has a really good one, Oscars Nicholls Fellowship, American Short Script, etc.
I've been looking into it for a while. I started working on one but I scrapped the idea ages ago. I'm planning on studying film in college. I'm just not sure what part of it that I want to pursue. But I love to write :\
I've wanted to write a screenplay for aaaages now. I'm the sort of person that needs a push in the right direction and deadlines before I actually get anything done though... I'll get there someday...
I´m gonna go to uni next year studying film production and what not, in the mean time ill try and get some jobs as an extra or assistant to learn as much as possible just got 2 new books; Learn yourself filmmaking & an actor prepares, me and a friend are writing a screenplay this summer and try and make the lowest budget film ever! lol
