I gotta finish my script. I gotta finish my script! I GOTTA FINISH MY SCRIPT! It began as a holiday feature. A very, very, very far cry from the comfort of my thrillers and dramas. It was a school project to step out of my comfort zone, out of my genre, around my Nolan-inspired ideas, and prove that I am not a one-trick pony. Little did I know that it would feel like the bane of my existence.
However, I do believe that my dramedy has come a long way. My Little Miss Sunshine. My American Fiction. An Inkling of Hope.
I am very excited to participate in The 11th Annual November Write Club to help me stay motivated and hammer out this screenplay, knowing this is one of many swimming around in my head. Feel free to check out the logline on my profile: https://www.stage32.com/profile/1051127/about and the other screenplay loglines. I know, this is shameless self-promotion, but I have to do it to get to where I want to be.
I hope everyone's project is going well and wish you all the best.

Hey Kevin Enners - I checked out your loglines and they look great. I like the premise behind "Chrono Code". Very cool!

Thanks everyone! We can do this - I love the support. As I am not yet known in the entertainment industry, I like to jump around and play with different genres. As my mentor would say, "The voices are talking." Not to creep anyone out :) I just think it's fun experimenting with different concepts. "Chrono Code" was a fun one. Currently, I'm rewriting the holiday script, based on others' feedback. This one is particularly tough as it's a dramady, and I want to strike the balance between crass humor and serious emotions that drive the characters. I have a lot of other ideas, so I will be happy when I get through my holiday script.

You're welcome, Kevin Enners. I like jumping around and playing with different genres too. And I mix genres a lot. Writing a Dramedy is tough. Here's an article called "How To Write Great Dramedy: The KEY Elements of a Dramedy Script": https://industrialscripts.com/dramedy/

Sophia Pinto I actually changed the title on the title page in the script to "Fictionalizer. " I didn't want it to be just a holiday film. My vision of my screenplay is more like American Fiction, as it explores the tropes of people with disabilities portrayed in other films and TV shows.

Love the love of this thread. I have spirit animals for my focus. For the holidays, especially Christmas I have Norman Rockwell. My spirit animal for ho-ho-ho, even in the middle of July. And very dramedy, indeed. You can get it done. Be your own spirit animal!
