/swg/ screenwriting general

I have a killer script, how do I sell it?

I'm not posting it here. That would do nothing. How do I get an agent and sell this thing? It's fucking gold.

Everything happens for a reason anon, it's all part of the process.

If you need to ask, you aren't good enough to get an agent yet. My man, you fucking cuck.

I have a killer skript, pretty spooky, video on how to get i's onit?

You're all fedora-kin who eat beef jerky straight from the box and indulge frequently in Mountain Dew and Doritos. Take your script and shove it up your ass you dwellers

Everyone samefags for a reason anon, it's all a part of the process.

Anybody know of a good free script software? I hate using microsoft word.

Trelby is one. I don't like it that much, but it'll do I guess.

Celtx can't be downloaded anymore I believe, but you can still use it online.

Just rewrite it nerd. Why don't you have multiple saves anyway with different progress versions?

Well, this was stupid of me, but I used the amazonstudio to help me with the script writing, I logged on and its gone.

Hopefully amazon didn't steal my idea.

I didn't lose all of it, but I lost about half and still have to old drafts.

Anyone got any good idea they don't wanna write?

I have a plethoria of ideas that I'll never have the time to explore, tell me your fav movies and what sort/style of script you're looking for and I'll give ya a few plots/stories/options.

Red Rock West
David Lynch films
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Assault on Precinct 13

these are just some

How is this? Ive heard good things about it. Is it better than FD 8?

>>64506837
It's extremely intuitive and easy to use, and for the price (Free for the basic version), it's the best there is. Against FD 8, well, nothing will likely ever replace FD as the industry standard, but WD has been a lot less buggy in my experience than FD.

This is one time when "go back to Reddit" is advice you should actually follow. /r/screenwriting and /r/filmmaking will be much more help than any threads on here, assuming you're seriously interested in the craft. These threads are just pathetic.

If you think this is bad, the Skype group for these threads is ten times worse. Just people bitching about "meme shows" and complaining about depression.

Sry for the slow response...

So some nonreligious yet mysteric/symbolic/traditional Good vs evil-concept (with a hint of semisleazy girls)?

My first thought is a modern variant of Brothers Karamazov, replacing the christianic aspects with some good old capitalistic story or perhaps instead go totally SF and have it all act out in a futuristic world.

What's your thoughts about this?

Gonna take a walk outside and see if I can sculpt out something from that or create a new plot based on the films you mentioned.

Will be back in a few hours, keep the thread alive if you want to hear some more.
