Hello fellows.
Im Sille, Im new to this site. I'm from Denmark, living in Copenhagen, im a non educated screenwriter, I hope to get connected with people internationally and hopefully sell my scripts in the future.
My work so far
I have written a script for a short movie, its currently on danish, but it can always be translated, and then im writing on 2 others script on English. (I write my script on English mostly) Well the first is a story I have writing on for month, and the second is a script for a challenge due to the LondonSWF365.
So a short logline for my primary script.
A young American girl travels across the ocean to study on London university. She meets a guy and they begin an intense relationship.
Feel free to connect with me or ask me anything.
Stay safe.

Hi, Aray. Thank you. - I will contact him directly. Hope to hear from you again.
Velkommen, Sille. Hope you find it helpful here. And if I can be of any support or guidance, by all means get in touch. I do have experience of helping non-English writers develop their projects so they are written authentically in English. Happy to chat about that. Best wishes, Phil
Welcome, Sill. You have some great ideas! I hope you find success!
Welcome , greetings from Italy (by a brazilian)
Thank you all. Phil Clarke, feel free to chat with me.

Hi, Sille Larsen! Welcome aboard! Congrats on developing your scripts and loglines! May I suggest posting your logline on your profile? If you click on your “profile” tab, there’s a “loglines” tab, where you can post loglines so people can easily find them and rate them as well as give you feedback. It’s been tremendously helpful in revising my loglines. I would definitely join in the discussions in the lounges and if you’re interested in joining the Writers’ Room, Jason Mirch, the Director of Script Services here at Stage 32 will offer you a free month if you email him (j.mirch@stage32.com). I’ve learned so much about writing, pitching and script coverage by being a part of the Writers’ Room!
Hi Monica thank you, I will do that, and yes I really want to be in the writers room.
Hi Bamutiire, I know the English language very well, and the danish way to write the words is very different from the English language, and google translate isn't good for a thing like a script only a word or two will be acceptable, and if I have to write 80-120 pages on Danish and then translate it will it take too much time. I prefer to write in English, because there are so many more interesting ways to say a word. - I have contact with an English woman, who read it for mistake, and I'm using prowrite to see my mistake etc. But thank you, and I will look at the company soon. Maybe we will meet in the writers room.

Hi Sille, welcome aboard! May I ask, what genre is your script? From the logline it could be several different kinds of awesome! :)

Hi Sille Larsen welcome here. Every new screenwriter/artist here is a win to the community. Great to have you. I too write in English, even though it´s not my native language. You get used to it and get better and better. I do it for the same reason you mentioned above. And i figured that it´s more natural to write in English from page one, instead of translating it later. So just rock it!
That sounds lovely, Sille. Thanks :)
welcome and best of luck with your career

Thank you for your blog post: "How to Move Forward After Getting No." You gave some great suggestions. I try to look at "no" as feul for my creative energy. "No," gives me even more determination to wrap my project with an appealing bow that viewers can't wait to unwrap. Your next step plan to attend film school is a good one. You'll get there sooner than you think. Keep in touch!
Thank you so much, Gayle! I'm so glad to hear that my blog post got you a more overview of the "no" word! Have a great weekend

Sille Larsen The guy I was talking about is Kim Magnusson. We were at the AFI at the same time and I actually predicted his 1st Oscar win (he has 2 Oscars. Both for short films ).
You can find his info on IMdb. Anyhoo. I will have to see if I can find out how to reach him as I actually have something I'd like to get to him as well.

Just a little tweaking suggestion. "to study at the London University". It's great she meets someone and starts an intense relationship, but what is the conflict? Does the relationship stand in the way of her education? Is there some tragic issue with the relationship?
