Hey what's up?

I am a new member and I joined because I wanted to find a mentor or at least enough people with experience. My goal is to be a screenwriter and director. I have sent several inquiries to agencies in the hopes of finding a representative, but no luck yet. I hope to soon have a film be made on my script and am going to be trying to get it made ASAP.

If you have any questions, just ask. I am friendly and will answer anything.

Cheers!

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the 'forum jump' you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Many thanks to all who have welcomed me.

The film I have written would be a drama/sci fi. I am not entirely sure how to classify it. It has several twists that either make it terrible or will really make it memorable.

The movie is based off my own experiences while I backpacked and the event that happened before I took that trip. I had a really bad nightmare. So I used it plus real life experiences to write the film. The film is on loneliness and struggling to find your niche.

Ouch, I am sorry. I don't like popcorn. I like to eat skittles while watching a movie. Hope that helps.

wow, i like the concept of your movie, though i have to admit, as a fan of movie's i would have trouble writing that one. i originally went to the University of North Texas for that reason (writer/director). quickly i found that i was better at writing then playing politics.....sadly i still play the politics game though. i hope you get to make your film, i would love to check it out!

Your film sounds great. I can't wait to see what you've written.
