how the fuck am I supposed to find a writer or anybody willing to work with my awkward anxious ass

>>80434958

become a director for hire

>>80435106
I'm really opposed to that, but I'd still have some degree of creative control, right?
How can I become a director for hire, with no credits/previous work?

George Romero fuckin got his co workers at his tv station to help him make Night of the Living dead.

What the fuck is your excuse you idiot.

>>80437637
I don't have a job or friends, and I'm very unlikeable.

>wanting to do something you have no passion for

are you sure you actually want to make films and aren't just yearning to be part of some culture you find appealing

Eh just by all of these excuses you're making I think you'd be bad at it, no offense

"Good ideas" are subjective, when you're a creative all that matters is the will to produce. It's like a shitty sink-- you gotta let it run out all the brown water for a while before it's safe/worth drinking

If you can't get obsessive with the process of growth and the development of technique you're just wasting your time

You are a dime a dozen, it would take me at least a year to count the number of millennial jerk offs who think their artsy interests will net them an inkling of a career; you will never be a filmmaker. Abandon your stupid dream and go to plumbing school right now

>>80434367
TFW have dozens of terrific ideas for movies and understand how to form a shot and stage actors very well

>>80437975
then why aren't you famous yet, asshole?

>>80438019
Screenwriting contests, you obviously haven't tried or care.

>>80434367
Film-making isn't just about coming up with some idea that you think would make an enjoyable movie. Film-making is about exposing the themes of reality, so it's not something that you can just be able to make if you brainstorm long enough. You need to first experience life, finding both hardships and love. If you can't come up with a good idea, then not only are you unfit to be a filmmaker, you have also never truly lived.

>>80438075
I'm not a writer i can't write a script but I can storyboard like a motherfucker and have legit movie concepts/ideas. I've had friends and family tell me "wow that's be a good idea for a movie really cool\different concept.

>>80434367
Want a real advice? Let it go. Don't force. It's ok if you can't come up with anything right now.
Let it come to you.

>>80438071
I don't really expect help, I don't know what I was looking for with this thread.
I have four good movie ideas, and one is a (probably) generic adaptation, one isn't even an idea.
That leaves me with two viable ideas, one I need to be able to compose music for, and I haven't been able to compose music since I was 6.

So, one viable idea, and I can't really get a grasp on how to develop it, the characters, or the tone.
It's just a rip off of Akira anyway.

>>80438225

I'm trying, but I'm anxious.

>>80434367
You can do it, anon. I believe in you.

If ideas isn't your strenght focus on techniques. Make abstract shit, I don't care.

Think about any situation that has happenned to you, how would you present this situation through image and sound?

>>80438341
Lets do it anon I'm down to take a risk.

>>80438030
Not him but it basically means that what you produce will suck for a long time, and if you aren't willing to plow through that shit and go all the way, you are wasting your time. For example practicing writing: you've got to realize that the first 10 screenplays you write will suck and after that you might produce something worthwhile. But you have to write them like all of them would be the next big thing. So you have to get obsessed with the actual growth or you'll never see the finish line. Right now OP is just whining he can't come up with good ideas when he should be writing shitty ones to get to the good ones.

>>80438368
I haven't been in many situations.

>>80438726
That sounds like awful advice.

>>80438461
How we gonna do this? Should I give you my email? I doubt you wanna share your ideas in public like this.

Discord?

>>80438809
Sure give me an email will go from their. Like I said I'm down to give it a go.

>>80438794
You can write a lot of crap on the page as you will be rewriting the majority of it anyway. Be my guest and only write when you get good ideas or beautiful language on the page. You're gonna be staring at a blank page for a long time. Even if you write a lot of shit, you will produce a small amount of something good and you can walk away with that.

>>80439151
Nah. I'm telling you I've got very good movie concepts and ideas. Just don't know how to get it in the right hands. If I got these ideas in the right hands I'd make millions.

>>80439148
[email protected]

>>80439249
You won't be making millions with a concept. It's going to be directed by a director and actually written down page by page by a writer. Even if you can get your ideas into the right hands, you won't make lots of money with them.

>>80439375
Idk if this is a joke or not how can I tell you are serious about your intentions?

>>80438142
Filmmaking is about convincing a bunch of people into giving you more money that you would earn in 10+ years so you can get a crew of fucked in the head societal rejects to work in unison for 3 - 4 weeks or so.

Plus a bunch of boring pain in the ass shit few years before that, and then after that. And then you have yourself a film. Hopefully it's not shit, and people won't be after you for burning through their mountain of cash.

t. someone who actually made films

>>80435187
stop being so picky when you are currently a nobody in this industry, take what you can get at the beginning

>>80439436
I'm just the ideas guy/storyboarder. But I feel in my heart if I shared my ideas I could get all those people to work together just fine.

>>80439415
Nigga what do you mean how can you tell if I'm serious, I made this whole ass thread, and just posted my email for you.
You think my email sounds silly? That's fair, I have a lot of accounts on various websites, I'm not giving my main out on this godforsaken website.
I'll log into yomtabo right now.

>>80439475
Stop being picky? I haven't been offered anything at all, I haven't had the chance to be picky.

>>80434367

I wish more than anything I had somebody else as good as me to work with.

I'm probably not a genius or anything, but I have good taste and am pretty good at a lot of stuff. It's just hard because it's like, if I don't write it, then it's going to completely suck, and if I don't film it, then it's going to completely suck. I don't know even know if I can make good stuff, but I know having somebody else with different ideas and stuff to bring to the table would be perfect. They'd make me better; I'd make them better; and we'd actually do something cool.

It must be so cool to be big in Hollywood, just because you get super smart, talented, and creative people working with you on something. I don't know; it's frustrating. If Trey Parker and Matt Stone had never met, they probably never would have done anything and would be working at a Best Buy or something, shitposting on /tv/.

>>80439511
I got you will send an email.

I understand you all the way.
I have no real friends, and people I do discuss my ideas with aren't creative and don't have any ideas/suggestions to add.
They think anything I say is genius because they can't come up with anything themselves, I know I'm not that good though, and I need a lot of help.

Ideas are a dime a dozen friendo. I guarantee you there are 1000 guys in Los Angeles who have a great idea while taking a shit, and nothing comes of it.

The only way you'll get people to work together is if you pay them. At least promise to pay them. Producers are the ones who get people together, and clearly you're not cut out for the position of the producer. If you're an ideas guy, then write like 10 different scripts and then make your way into the circles of actual filmmakers and then pitch them your shit. That's what Tarantino did. I'm not particularly social guy, so can't give you advice there, but the easiest way to make friends amongst creative people is if you have drugs

>>80439601

Yeah. I made promotional videos for a non-profit arts organization when I was working as the Box Office Manager. I'd film stuff from rehearsal, backstage, do interviews with the cast and artistic director and such. For the last one I did, I got clips of Germany in the early 19th century to splice in little clips to show the time period. It wasn't the greatest stuff, but it was really actually pretty fucking good.

So I know that I can film stuff, cut it together, and it can be pretty good. I just don't have anybody to really work with, and working with somebody would make me 1000x better, and I think I could make them better too. I'm sort of a go-getter, but those few videos for the shows were the only thing I ever really got off the ground. It's hard to really get that drive to push as hard as it takes to get stuff done when I'm on my own. I don't think Sam Raimi ever would have gotten his way to the woods to make Evil Dead if he didn't have Bruce Campbell right there, helping him get to getting it done.

>>80439783
Well as a suicidal former musician who taught himself to play 9 different instruments who gave up on life. I think I found my new career path. Oh and I can be one sociable prick when I want to be and I've had sex with a woman.

>>80439882
>I've had sex with a woman.
Get out.

I have good unique ideas multiple times a day but I never write anything down or expand it passed the basic concept. Still, I think they are pretty unique. I probably need someone to act as a filter to tell me what is complete shit and what is usable. But I'll continue working at walmart so who cares lol

>>80439618

Yeah, I've got [email protected]. I'm getting ready to leave the country on April 9th, and I'll either be coming back or moving to Europe depending... If I do come back, film is what I'm going to do, so definitely email me if you want! It'd make a hell of a story to tell in an interview if anything really great comes from it.

I don't use it for anything else, so to all the weirdos lurking, don't bother Googling it.
