post yours

r/moviescirclejerk

where else am I gonna get chumps to read my script and give me some impressions?

last time I posted my screenplay on Yea Forums literally nobody read it and told me to go to Yea Forums... well I went to Yea Forums and I got banned for off-topic posting

Why do people hate onions so much? I drink it and I think it’s delicious and it’s really good for you

I went to reddit once but I got lost and never went back

unless you're a jew and live in LA or New York there's no point in writing anything since you'll never get anywhere and you're just wasting your time

Post it here and I'll read it

is this really what white trash tells themselves?

>writing a screenplay instead of an actual book or story
Cringe

>writing a screenplay instead of an actual book
literally a waste of time, nobody reads fiction anymore lmao

Basically, yeah. His screenplay is autistic garbage but he'll keep blaming the Jews instead of, y'know, trashing it like he should or at least finding a mentor

>if your screenplay can't win a contest you can't get a job
this gets thrown around a lot, i dunno guys there might be some truth to it

wow, we got bonafide hollywood successes in here! real tinseltown insiders!

>have to shell out shekels to enter a contest or use any screenwriter website

fuck that

They have to explain their failure somehow.

Writing is the most retarded and cringe "art" hobby that there is.

Learn how to draw or something.

it's part of the hustle, the fuck you think 'muh-fgt; dev execs. will come knocking on your door? no, you gotta shill the scripts hosted on your personal website on reddit, twitter, discord yo FUCK Yea Forums and enter some contests, you will get serious heat if you got the eye

its not jewish nepotism swear on my talmud

do you know how hard it is to actually be a screenwriter in the industry? all the major blockbusters are written by the same rotating group of 15 people. spec scripts are never taken by the industry anymore and 90% of scripts are ignored entirely. screenwriting isn't worth it.

writing is the purest form of art, other art is merely an interpretation

NOOOOOOOOO I CAN STILL MAKE IT, YOU'RE JUST A BAD WRITER NOOOO IT'S NOT JEWISH NEPOTISM

>Hobby I don't like is cringe and retarded
Slaaaysister!

Say that to my patrons.

>Implying anyone's going to ever read your screenplays

Literally retarded

This is true if you don't know anyone in the industry, and self publishing has never been easier

>network television
>foreign markets
there's a lot of jobs in the entertainment industry, you can find your niche and flex some creativity if you're good enough (or lucky enough) (or connected enough)

that being said, the job:writer ratio is still completely out of wack, let's look at the Nicholl competition last year (biggest screenplay contest)
>~8000 entries
>5 winners
>0.06%

I'd be generous and say you have a 0.1% chance of making a screenwriting career work, it really depends on your ability to create an emotional story and write rememberable scenes

----------------------------
If you are really interested in this shit, write a short story, or three, and toss it around online, see the feedback you get and maybe consider ratling the cages of the gatekeepers

You drink onions? Weird.

>write things that don't push the globohomo agenda
>get blacklisted

They're right that there's no point unless you're going to feed into the destruction of your nation.

I actually saw some fat ~5'2" manlet buying a carton of that Silk garbage at the grocery store today. I had a brief inkling to warn him but meh, it's more funny to just let the universe so as it may.

there's literally no way they read all those 8000 entries, they picked some scripts at random and said "toss the rest"

Warn him about what lmao

Books are an inferior medium to film. Plus nobody reads novels anymore.

It makes you gay

I've been drinking onions milk for like 10 years bro. I lift, have high sperm count, strong bones etc. Cows milk is disgusting and is designed to turn calfs into 600 pound cows. No, onions doesn't give you bitch tits or turn you into a woman, it's not hormone therapy.

how do you find a mentor?

Writing books can be quite profitable today due to Amazon. Lots of people buy books on there and they have a self-publishing feature.

You can dismiss a script within 2 sentences if it isn't exceptional.

>be me
>intern on film development reading scripts
>covertly look up every name on every script sent my way
>wade through LinkedIn profile and months of Twitter history to find anything remotely soi

No money to actually get anything made and they don't care about foreign talents.

It's really more of a hobby unless you're insanely lucky and I say that as a winner of a minor screenwriting award.

Twilight and 50 shades of grey started as fanfiction, what have your shitty screenplays achieved?

No stupid Yea Forums nel idiot..

Can I ask how you got patrons in the first place? I’m a fiction author as well

no, this is what eunuch pansies tell themselves

[laughs in Raczynski]

Do you actually believe Jewish nepotism isn't a thing?

Protip: With any kind of writing submission to a publisher or other creative company they first look at your publishing history, then your place on the intersectionality stack, then flip through your book/screenplay in under 1 minute, 5 minutes if you manage to hook them. If you're white male non-Jewish and you're not connected your odds are zero. If you're white female non-Jewish and you're not connected your odds are 0.00000000001%. Don't waste your time. Get a real job. Or write a blog on a topic you're engaged in and turn it into something that can make you money like a website or podcast. You're never going to make a cent in the "business" as an employee unless you're Jewish or multi-ethnic unicorn.

t. Former fiancée was a fantasy (not romance) author with about 10 titles in major bookstores. Don't bother trying to be a novelist you get paid SHIT.

What do you think about this idea for a movie?

The FBI needs someone to infiltrate some sort of business or location in another country but this country has cameras everywhere with face recognition software. If they spot an American then they will immediately be arrested. Anyway, the government of this country has been able to hack into other government’s databases to get photo ID’s of everyone there from driver’s licenses/mugshots etc, they also use social media.

The FBI realizes that the only person capable of this job is an adult who doesn’t have a driver’s license and has never had any had any social media. They have to recruit a KV NEET and much of the movie revolves around his inability to do basic tasks out in public like ask people things or have a conversation with them when he needs to retrieve information etc.

Thoughts? Would it be kino?

>The FBI

stopped reading there. Please never write anything, ever.

The beta "making it as a novelist"
vs
The chad "writing for yourself"

this

now mossad? that would be kino

>much of the movie revolves around his inability to do basic tasks out in public like ask people things
Lol my sides

You lost me at the end there. I get what you were going for, the juxtaposition between a high stakes thriller and a fish out of water semi-slapstick with the protagonists doing mundane tasks. My advice would be keep it high stakes the whole time and make the fish out of water juxtaposition more subtle and stylized, but to do that you’ll have to hit a comedic vein from somewhere else to keep the movie going, I don’t know how to do this. But I don’t think you can keep the film going COMPLETELY revolving around his inability to do basic tasks, it’ll slow the film down to much, unless you have a good chunk planned out of nice visual sight gags, but even then I think it might become totally arbitrary and you’ll lose the audience through telegraphing your intentions to much. You’ll have to find a way to make people emotionally invested in the basic story initially firsthand, the audience really has to care about the NEET before any sort of visual gags pop up, they have to be invested in his story. Once you have that you can sort of direct the audience from the shadows, insert what you really intended to since the audience will be distracted with the emotional highs and lows of the story

Show us your award user :)

You can produce your own stuff user. I wrote a screenplay, got an award at a writers' festival for it, then produced it myself and it screened at Sundance and Cannes years ago. You can do anything if you set your mind to it.

How do I become a producer?
