Hi everyone.
I’m an actor based in London and for the past 2 years I’ve been writing a psychological thriller called “INVISIBLE”
If you had a small budget and a month to get people to notice it, where would you start?
I opened a crowdfund account.. do you think is worth it?
Thank you

I've written a script (about 85 pages) it is a dark comedy about a local band in their thirties trying to get started in a small city.

But, I'm just a guy who lives in Alabama who likes movies and making things. So I don't have any connection to the industry, or any kind of knowledge about it either.

I'm working with a few people to try and make it myself, but it is becoming more and more clear that the project is bigger than my pocket change budget.

Is there anyone that would be able to point me in the right direction?

You can do this too. Exactly how I plan to do this is at the link. (the link is to show you something, not to try to sell you anything)

First, about this script. I have tried very hard to get a script agent, or literary manager, or big studio, interested, with no luck. I have decided to take matters into my own hands.

What I will produce will be saleable on numerous platforms. It will look different than a "regular" movie of course, but it will still be very entertaining, and saleable. Right now I am looking for a "Key Person", a "Master Actor".

I am not trying to sell anything here. Some frustrated writers might want to try this, and it could change their lives.

I am offering the pay below, to the "Master Actor/Key person/producer/casting director" because I am living on my pension, and I'm 78, and it's the best I can do. Maybe you can do better.

For this person, I am presently offering $600 after our shoot is wrapped, and a demo reel worth $300, and $600 on deferral.

The lead actors will be offered $200, a $300 demo reel, and $200 on deferral. I am seeking actors who are now presently working for free on short films.

When it is finished, I will have the satisfaction of seeing one of my projects for sale online, earning a bit of money.

I will also be able to use it to promote to screen agents, managers, and big time producers, to make it into a "real" movie.

Have a look at this link, it could change your life. My Studio Play concept is here.

PS: I am offering rock bottom pay. You can see how just doubling the pay would make it easier to find the people. Please share this all over the net if you like.

PPS: I got carried away with my enthusiasm for this method, while I wrote the above. I forgot one detail, which I take for granted. That is, I own my own gear and do my own editing. If you don't, you can look for recent film school grads who want experience to help. Some will have their own cameras. YOU DO NOT NEED A HIGH END CAMERA. These days, you can use a camera similar to mine, which is a Sony AX 100. It is 4K. Believe me, it is all you need to get a movie on TV! I have done it lots of times! Another idea, find someone who shoots weddings and such, who wants to make something more interesting for a change. They might volunteer. Look for "videographers" in your town or city.

Heya, I'm a 2D animator looking for help with my scripts. I've been making animated shorts lately (less than 30 seconds) and posting on YouTube and tiktok.

I've been getting into the writing aspect a lot more over the past few months, writing 2-3 minute scripts that I plan to spend months animating etc.

I want someone to look over my super short scripts (1-3 pages), and give me some feedback and whatever ideas they think would work best etc. Im trying to make the scripts super good and packed with good and funny ideas and stuff.

Obviously you'd be credited in the final animation as a writer for your help.

Here's some of my work:

Recent one I posted to reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/animation/comments/1ub0kzb/a_guy_goes_for_a_walk/

And here's my animation showreel: www.theoswebsite.com

Thank you :)

Writer's Note: This script is my first try at screenwriting, and I would love for you to read it and hear your opinion. I would love to see it brought to life, but at this point, a read and feedback is very much appreciated! read it here

Experienced screenwriter here…over the last year I’ve started noticing screenplay coverage( both AI and human ) has become intensely focused on evaluating scripts through one dominant structural model. It made me wonder whether we’re unintentionally training writers toward the same kind of screenplay. Conventional wisdom says those principles exist because they’re what audiences respond to. But if the industry is constantly talking about the need for original voices and fresh storytelling, are we evaluating originality using tools that inherently reward convention? I’ve seen other writers raise similar concerns, especially those writing ensemble pieces, genre hybrids, or stories with unconventional narrative structures. For those of you who read professionally, produce, or write: do you think screenplay coverage has become too dependent on one storytelling paradigm? Or is that simply unavoidable in commercial production?

Hi everyone,

I am an independent filmmaker preparing for my next short film project, and I’m looking for a powerful, unproduced short script to bring to life.

I have a very specific cinematic vision for this project, heavily inspired by cultural realism and intense, tragic human experiences. If you have a story that tears at the heartstrings or explores the aftermath of a tragic event, I want to read it.

Here are the specific parameters I am looking for:

Genre: Realistic Drama, Tragic/Poignant narratives, or human-centric emotional crises.

Characters: Very few main characters (1 to 3 maximum) with deep psychological layers.

Locations: Highly contained (4 or 5 locations max). Ideal for a minimalist, high-tension setup.

Language: You can submit your script in English (or any language). However, please note that the final film will be adapted and produced in Arabic.

Length: 5 to 15 pages.

What’s in it for you?

This film is being produced with festival submissions in mind. You will receive full credit as the Writer (Screenplay by...), IMDB credit, and we will maintain close communication throughout the adaptation process to respect your core story and emotional beats.

If you have a script that fits this vibe, please DM me with a short logline/synopsis or drop a comment below, and I’ll reach out with my email.

Looking forward to reading your stories!

Title: Logline

Logline: A bitter, out of work screenwriter discovers he can curse his loglines and sets about exacting revenge on Hollywood gatekeepers who wronged him, until the curse gets out of his control and starts to rewrite the loglines for itself.

Budget: Cheap af

Genre: Horror, Dark Fantasy - think Death Note for Hollywood

Writer compensation (dollar amount): $0 (collaboration project)

Early stage concept with some direction set, needs honing; already thinking transmedia opportunity into manga or graphic novels. If you're a comic artist, this could be an interesting chat.

Any takers?

Title: NEUROSALINE

Format: Feature

Page Length: 74

Genres: Psychological / Cosmic / Ocean Horror

Four teenage boys who go out drinking on a small skiff and wake up lost at sea… in what turns out to be a conscious ocean (a giant nervous system made of salt water).

If anyone’s interested in reading it and giving feedback, I’d really appreciate it. The link is below!
