  • All writing is good experience and a way to learn the craft. I write novels too and although I've read lots of scripts over the years, I'd never written one until very recently. My first attempt at a script was for Circalit's Thriller comp. Congrats on your scriptfrenzy script. I'm guessing it's like Nanowrimo - write a novel in a month - kinda thing. Good luck in the comp.

  • Hi : I'm not in the film industry, but I've some experience shooting and editing, for small projects. I work in the web design / programming world; breaking out into something more literary and rewarding would be nice. Hence scriptwriting... I've been working up to a feature by writing shorts. I figure shorts is good experience and quicker to turn around. Finally, thanks to the arbitary deadline of scriptfrenzy, I finished my first proper full length script. I'm happy: it doesn't seem to suck entirely. I entered that competition too = the prize is a consultation I think? Would be interesting to get feedback on my not-entirely-sucky feature.

  • Hi - it's my first attempt at writing a short. It was an idea that came for the brief so I wrote it. Weird's good - I like weird! If someone wants to make a short I write, suits me! ;) I'm new to screenplay writing, Truth or Dare is only my second script, but I know the film industry pretty well. T :)

  • Hi there! no problemo! It's fun ; fun / weird . I can picture it as a music video myself; or at least with a powerful sound track. -- Do you write short screenplays to have them made, or as a storytelling form in itself? (Nevada desert might be fun to shoot in ;-) ) Personally, I've got some film making buddies who occasionally make the stuff I write; which is a blast. ok ttfn - j
