I know this might be a hot screenwriting take, but I’ve never liked the overreliance on group scenes in scripts. For me, it comes down to how they affect character focus and development.
Group scenes almost always create a battle for attention. The characters who are already prominent tend to dominat...

I have been trying to remember a movie I saw years ago, I think it was from Lifetime. In it, a woman and her husband were stalked by her ex-boyfriend whom she had just run into, and he denied doing anything. Then an attorney or FBI came to help them claiming he was under surveillance for murdering a...

What about Unforgettable (2017)?
I want to make everyone on Stage 32 aware of a scam being perpetated by anr imposter posing as a real, well known Film Producer. By stealing this Producer's identity, he was phishing Stage 33 Writers to submit treatments, plot synopsis, scripts and screen plays to produce. Once I realized the Lloyd...

Things are creepy with the advent of AI! Enjoy the challenge! Takes little to be wise!
The concerns of this post is therefore significantly commendable!
I believe making Stage 33 members aware has shined a light on this evil con being perpetated. It revealed just how rampant this became as well as alerting Producer's whose identity were stolen. If this post helps just one writer from getting ripped off...makes telling my story worth it.

There seems to have been a few of these types on here lately. A web cross-check usually reveals something is up. The scam profiles purport to be established people, yet have limited credits listed unlike, say, the real IMDB listing they're trying to imitate.
Oh, no. That's honestly the scary part. That's why I asked these people some verification questions to determine if they're real humans or not. I went on Reddit, and people shared their experiences ab...

Hi filmmakers,
Drop your screenplay, synopsis, logline, character profiles, and other elements that you've been working on in your pre-production process for your movie.
How's your film coming along?
I would like to contact writer and producer Tim Federle, remember when I mentioned having a dream based on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series? I really think it could be a good storyline or sequel film. So I would like to share it with him. I know it can work, and raise awareness for some...

I am going to be needing some serious editing work and am looking to collaborate with anyone who finds my story intriguing. When my computer broke (jury still out on if the damage is temporary or permanent) I panicked big-time, never expecting the computer to out, but it did and I am in panick mode...

I noticed that there are few people on Stage 32 that work with Disney or worked with Disney. That is an honor I would like to share as it's a dream of mine to work with Disney. Believe me, I have original ideas for films and shows for them and ideas for revivals and reboots. Even business ideas for...

Ever been a fan of something like a franchise that you would like to contribute to it? Like for example I myself have been a fan of Disney, The Simpsons, and the Muppets when I was a kid and would like to contribute to them.
Anyone else?
Sometimes an impossible dream is the greatest one. That is why I dream of working with Disney, I really do have original ideas for their company, and some ideas for revivals, even business ideas to expand the outreach of their company.
So, if there are any agents or producers who have a connection t...

I do hope that all your dreams come true.
Thank you, do you know anyone who could help me?
33 years ago, there was a little show called Beavis and Butthead that debuted on MTV. The show grew to wild popularity and the music videos plus their commentary had a major impact in the 90s music scene. It was a big deal to be featured on BnB.
Season 5 Episode 36 originally aired Aug 7, 1995.
That...

The more actors in a scene, the harder it is to shoot for blocking, the longer it takes for coverage, and the more logistically difficult to schedule all the actors. Make it worth it!
I was watching Gilmore Girls recently, which has tons of interesting side characters who live in the small town. I noticed in a town meeting scene, populated with mostly extras, there were five or six regular characters whom we hadn’t seen in that episode yet. I thought that was odd— did they get hired for that episode just to sit quietly? Then a discussion came up in the meeting, and one-by-one they all contributed a line or two that was spot-on for their characters. They were there for a reason.
