Hello everyone. I'm Jordan, a 20 year old, finally deciding to write for the screen. I'm here to get some guidance about a script I've been working on for a few months. Look forward to getting some feedback.

I do have a question, but I need to go into just a little background. My script is not complete (not by a long shot really) and I have a bad feeling it will come up well short of 90 pages. So, would it be best to go to the appropriate forum and post what I have so far and try to get some help that way?

Thanks!

Hello there, Jordan! First, let me welcome you to AW. Next, I don't know a lot about scripts, so I can't help you out there. But I'm sure someone else will be able to point you in the right directiion!

Welcome to the board, check out our Script Writing discussion forum (which is perhaps where to post your question), and we also have a Screenwriting sub-forum in our Share Your Work area (password = vista) where you can post material for feedback.

G'day Jordan.

Welcome to the board!

Go ahead and post an excerpt at the link Derek pointed to .. about 5 pages is probably a good start.

Hope to see it,

Mac

Hey, Jordan. I know very little about screenwriting. But that hasn't stopped me from casting the movie version of my novel in my head!
Welcome!

Welcome Jordan, I've just started getting into screen writing myself. I'll be sure I can give you a hand when you need it.

Welcome from another newbie.
I'm working on a novel now, but, I can't help seeing it as a screenplay. A screenplay is definitely on my list of things I want to do. Good luck to you.
