Made this short film for a final class project. Any feedback would be appreciated! Logline: A young screenwriter with writer's block falls asleep at his desk and awakens in a mysterious room where he encounters characters from his own imagination.

It would be nice! :thumbsup: EDIT: I see that I left out a "t" in the thread title.

It's a shame I was a little too busy to enter this fest but I will definitely be back in the game for the next one, SO LOOK OUT! Lol Anyways, good luck to everyone, I'm going to start reading all of them and reviewing. Cheers!:beer: -Tim C.

Scriptfest V, when's it happening?

I've always been especially fascinated with films that feature multiple storylines of seemingly unrelated characters that are woven into each other, somehow connecting all of them. Films like Nashville, Magnolia, Pulp Fiction, 11:14, 21 Grams, Amorres Perros, etc, etc. I know when this is done...

Alright so I've got a production down the road and the last thing I need to figure out is what I'm gonna do about the gun shot scenes... So I know you can use non-firing prop guns and add the muzzle flashes and gunshot effects in post... but what's the consensus on using blank firing guns that...

It would be cool if we had a HorrorFest or MysteryFest in the future!

I just caught the Blues Brothers on TV earlier and looked up the script while I was watching it. I found it interesting that the film is 133 mins but the script is only 52 pages. I have a 45 page script that I thought I needed to either add to or take away from cause it was too long for a short...

Do you guys space out every line of action? For example... INT. KITCHEN - DAY John Doe walks into the kitchen. He turns on the coffee maker and opens up the paper. John flips through the pages briskly until he gets to the sports section. Or should they be a little more condensed? 'Cause...

I've been reading through these and I've gotten through about 8 and I just have to say there hasn't been one so far that I didn't like. These are really great. You can tell everyone put in a LOT of thought and effort into this fest and I'm impressed by what I've read so far. This site holds so...

Greetings, all I've recently decided that, at some point in my life, I would like to make a documentary of the Westboro Baptist Church out of Topeka, Kansas. For those of you who don't know, the WBC is an organization comprised of under 100 members (mostly in the same family) who picket...

Suppose I would like to include a quote of a french author from the 1600's at the beginning of my film (in title form). Are you allowed to include these as long as you cite who said/wrote it or are there legalities involved here?

Hey everyone, I’ve recently taken to the idea of writing things beyond my means of production in hopes of selling something someday. So, I wrote a summary of my most recent project and registered it with the WGA(e). The screenplay is about two brothers on the opposite ends of...

I've always tried to get my co-producers to co-write with me. They're extremely into it in the concept stages but as soon as they see a blank page and realize it's time to "do work" their attention span checks out. So, I've always been the one to do the actual writing (which I don't mind). But...

"GHOST TOWN" (Supernatural/Thriller/Western) Two bank robbers on the run seek refuge in a seemingly abandoned town, only to find they are not alone.

Can anyone give any insight on what is involved in making some sequences like these? Not even the panning (which is awesome) but just the lapsing part. I'm very interested in including these types of shots in my films. Especially at 0:18, that's incredible...

I've noticed that usually writers who have made use of voice-overs in previous works like to keep using them. I find that sometimes when I'm using a voice-over for the main character it can complicate the process a bit. Sometimes I don't know what should be told visually, through dialogue or...

Hey, all. I looked around for a Costume/Wardrobe type section but I didn't see one, maybe I skipped right over it. Anyways my question was pertaining to what a particular character would wear. The character is a middle-aged illegal merchandise buyer and dealer so I figured maybe a black suit...
