Everyone is saying that I should save the cat.
But man, my landlord doesn't even allow me to have a cat. Then HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SAVE THE CAT?!!!!4!4!4!4!!!!!!!4!4!!
Is someone dying? Just nod!
Is someone having a bad day and telling about it? Just nod!
For everything else? Use MasterCard!
Is this a good, Hollywood-accepted/recommended/formatted way to do so?
The story is about creative entropy. Is this cover art fitting for the theme? Is it any good?
Feedback concerns: any kind of feedback is welcome.
HELP, I AM SO LOST! (My plane just crashed on an island…)
Back in time, I had an idea for a show. And seeing that AI companies out there are basically doing the same, I decided to share it with you guys… what’s your opinion, is this project worth developing any further? Anyways, sharing here for a week to see that…
LOGLINE:
When a company relocates a man to his previous division on an alien planet obsessed with Earth's culture, he must navigate himself once again among the group of misfits he belonged before.
SUMMARY:
Few million years later, the Earth is inhabited by nomecs... And when a mysterious duo kidnaps an AI scientist from a group of misfits, they must convince him to steal the ultimate book of secrets from the company called RaCTE, to reveal those all to the public. All, while a certain group threatens to destroy all the books in their country.
COMPS:
SEVERANCE, BLACK MIRROR, maybe even THE BOYS...
Heyo, all!
I wrote a prolograph to the end of my screenplay. Is it any good? Also, how do you usually write prolographs?
Should I pull a No Country For Old Men instead? Like, write a two-page long philosophical essay before I’d type the CUT TO: CREDITS? Help me, I AM so LOST!
Budget: Low-to-medium independent
Genre: Sci-Fi, Drama
Page count: 111 pages
Logline: On a distant planet, a teenage filmmaker-in-the-making crosses the desert with two unlikely companions, an amnesiac alien and a man from Earth – determined to create “moving photographs” that change lives, just as they once changed hers.
Notes: This is a road-trip movie with two leads and one supporting co-lead. There are some additional supporting characters in the script, but the overarching narrative relies on the dynamics between the three above. The story is dialogue-heavy and philosophical, with many locales and wonderful backdrops. So, it does not rely on heavy-CGI, and it's logistically indie-friendly, as it utilizes expansive desert highways and practical roadside locations.
Coverage highlight: the first evaluation of this script stated this: “Dreamlike, surreal, and vibrantly creative, this script conjures up the atmosphere of films like MAD MAX and ARRIVAL and the immersive experience of BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD.”
Looking for: Producers, directors, or indie filmmakers interested in atmospheric, high-concept sci-fi dramas.

Title: Pink Elephants
Genre: Comedy
Any kind of feedback is welcome. But I also just put this out here, for you all to enjoy!
Title: Quo vadis, brotha?
Format: feature
Genre: Comedy, Fantasy, Drama
Page length: 107
Comps: Upright, Adaptation, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Logline: When they scout some South Australian filming locations, two screenwriters meet two misfits on the road, who soon turn their journey into a modern-day Odyssey.
Feedback concerns: I’m just looking for feedback on the script's episodic structure. Do the plotlines and layers work? Also, this is an utterly silly screenplay. Thanks for reading this post!

Format: feature; Page count: 91
Comps: Obsession, Hereditary, About Time
Genre: Dark romance, psychological horror, sci-fi/superhero
Logline (edited): A lonely young man struggles to pick up the pieces of his life after an unexpected lay-off because of AI, but his circumstances change completely when his new girlfriend reveals that she has reality-bending abilities.
Feedback concerns: I made this primarily to serve as a writing sample. Is this kind of voice/script that could maybe get me a representation one day? Or should I just leave this whole thing behind because it's not unique enough? I would like to put this out here after its second rewrite.

PS: thanks for reading the post:)
Edit: removed the summary and rewrote the logline. I will be much more careful of my mistakes in grammar and the overwriting in terms of future rewrites.
Logline: After meeting his first love of his life, a lonely guy discovers her dark and sinister nature, and when she gets a traumatic experience from one of his friends, their relationship turns into a nightmare.
Would you keep reading?
>!/uj Note: this is not intended to showcase my writing per se…!<
Heya all,
Been lurking here and I saw y’all posting here mediocre content and stuff which are somehow Nobel/Oscar worthy posts, to be honest!
As Hollywood is declining, I have noticed that my two favourite movies, SUPERGIRL AND OBSESSION, are both 9-letter words, I figured out that I might be able to save Hollywood from its decline if I write a screenplay that could be a low budget slasher rom-com sci-fi superhero horror.
B U T
I first need to WRITE the GODDAMN screenplay. And oh, for God’s sake, is it so slow and boring sometimes.
And here is the thing, guys!
I’ve invented and now, lads and gents or something, I present to you—
The OUTLINING PROCESS
How can you outline? - a question which strucks y’all. I know, I know! Don’t try to hide your curiosity, guys!
FIRST
Start with a simple premise. Like SUPERGIRL MEETS OBSESSION
BUT
Watch out for copyrights, for God’s sake!
Write down ACT 1 IN BOLD
THEN PLAN OUT THOSE GODDAMN SCENES
OH, i already feel like I’m the new Christopher Nolan. I heard he does similar things like my OWN INVENTION HERE, the outlining. He just calls it a plotmapping.
And here is the TWIST, guys!
PLOTMAXXING
YEAH PLOTMAXXING — it is the R E A L invention of mine.
Now, give me my Oscar!!!
Also, find the most clever reference of all time in this snippet I provided for this post, plebians!
The script's title, page count and format is in the title.
I like to think about this story as a road trip movie/drama in terms of the genre. It goes experimental here and there, and please do not read it if you are sensitive to topics like you see in the--
Logline: A jaded artist meets a suicidal AI-scientist during her road trip across New Mexico -- and she needs to change his mind before he makes it up.
Feedback concerns: So, I was bored doing some physics research last week, and wrote this all in the past 4-5 days. I'm just putting it out here to see if the story is whether interesting or not; or the formatting is okay or not. Any constructive feedback is appreciated here.
The main inspiration was my first ever screenplay to make this story. I just finished up reading the Obsession's screenplay as well. That made me think about Ian's wish- a bit further. If you like to read/watch philosophical movies, or films which are character-driven, I think you will like this one.
