Thank you!
Hello Screenwriting savants!! I am getting ready to produce some more "reel" for my acting career and I had a thought that you might resonate with. Rather then writing a "reel" scene, I thought about producing something from a writer that wants to see their work come to life. Sometimes "reel scenes"...

Rather then writing a "reel" scene, I thought about producing something from a writer that wants to see their work come to life. Sometimes "reel scenes" look to "reel-y" and don't really get to profile the actor(s). So who out there has some really great ideas for scenes that are a minute or less and would love to collaborate and see your ideas come to life? Look forward to hearing from you. A bit about me, as I am looking for scenes that I can play in. I'm both dramatic and comedic. I'm caucasion, age range 36-45, muscular/fit, I play law enforcement, former military, DAD, Doctor, Lawyer, Architect. ETC. Thank you and have a great day!!!!

This discussion is for those of us that live life successfully from this perspective, watching the pragmatic being ruled by the energetic. As actors, it is important for us to believe ourselves on the right track and believe ourselves as bookable. Who is having really good "luck" with this?
True @Stephen. That is the power we have, being in control of ourselves. Its the greatest thing.
I think that as an actor you have to believe that you are on the right track. After all, this is an occupation or a way of life, that many only glamorize after success is met. No one cares about the h...
Expand commentI think that as an actor you have to believe that you are on the right track. After all, this is an occupation or a way of life, that many only glamorize after success is met. No one cares about the hard work we put in through classes. Faith is something that you have to have, as well as thick skin. But I believe that in order to know that you are on the right track you need to consistently put yourself in a position to be criticized and judged. You need to hear the perspectives of other people because they see things in our acting that we don't see ourselves.
Yes, I am allowing awareness to guide me to write a script that reveals this. i agree Stephen Foster that it would be an amazing film!!!
Huge shout out to my S32 Network, Lyle DeRose and Dave McCrea, for making this possible. Shooting starts Jan. 28. Check us out on FaceBook: @BIGBOSSFILMS ... We're stoked!
Shawn, you're an inspiration to all of us. I wish you the best of luck in this project and the thousand more that will surely come your way.
Fantastic, Shawn! Have a wonderful time filming.
You're rocking it, Shawn. Good wishes.

Congrats on the job, Kay! Just. Like. That.
Thrills me to no end, Seph. And I appreciate you spreading the word. Every creative who joins the network makes it that much stronger.
Speechless, James. Thank you for sharing your experiences. And for sending all those invites!

Expand postI found this site through Twitter, and I'm really excited about building a network and taking advantage of everything here! I've been writing stories my whole life- started when I was about six and never stopped. About five years ago I started a story that I just belonged on the screen instead of in a book, so I started learning how to write screenplays. Now I'm addicted! My main genre is sci-fi /fantasy, though I do also write drama. I have one finished script, one that is in edit mode, and another five waiting to be written. I find the stories are easy, the script format is a challenge I love, but nailing the longline is something I still struggle with!
Just wanted to wish a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2017. Does anyone have specific plans on how to make this year more special than others?
Open up more to others, especially other creative artists; be more trusting and less hypercritical; and meditate more (this helps my overall ability to focus and not get stuck on errant feelings that sap my creative energy and motivation!)
I am analyzing my last years efforts in the industry and try to work twice as hard. Networking is going to be a big thing for me this year. Your network is your Networth!

Expand commentMy two keywords for the year are "strategic planning". I think it's important to know your goals and list them and read them all at least once a week. And if something new sparks up, write it down, and again come back to it, prioritize and apply. If you're looking for software solutions for planning I recommend wunderlist for mobile devices or asana if you're a computer person.

Expand postI've recently become aware of numerous screenwriters located around the world with a desire to write scripts for the American market. (I think I know the whys – but lets not go there.) For those of you for which American is not your native tongue – do you have any concept as to how difficult that can be? Although English has emerged as the primarily accepted language around the globe; very few of us actually speak it fluently (enough to write compelling dialog). For those of us who actually speak American, we recognize that it changes dramatically from region to region; and that makes it difficult for each US writer. Would my Texan know what “ankle water” is or my Oregonian understand “toe soak'er” or “gully washer”? Would your character wear gym shoes, running shoes, tennis shoes or sneakers? These seem trivial but if you want to sell your script in the American market – they're not. I've tried writing scripts for the UK and Australian markets - can't do it! The English we each speak it different – slang, parlance, lingo jargon... I stumbled through French in High School but there is no way I would ever try to write a script in French. If you want to market your script in America is to team up with an American writer. If I want to market my script to the UK, I would certainly team up with a British writer; same in India, Australia, Japan or anywhere else. Y'all agree/disagree; how do youse guys feel about it?

Expand commentI was recently asked by a producer if I'd be available to come to the set of a short script of mine he was shooting in LA, I explained that I was in the UK and therefore it'd be impossible - unless he was paying ;-) He was suprised as he'd assumed from the script that I was from the US, so I guess it is possible to write for more than just your 'home' market. I think in general that it is harder to write for 'other' English markets, but I'd propose that writing in American English is maybe easier purely as there are so many US films and TV shows available around the globe. I do agree though that if you are going to aim for a specific market then you should write carefully to avoid coloqualiasms, change your default dictionary in Fade In/Final Draft and use the internet to make sure there's no goveaway phrases in your script, and as Doug said, if you can get it read by a native speaker then do that too.
Funny you should mention this. One of my shorts was produced in the U.K. And yes, I did make some changes to match the U.K. Dialect
Yes. I'm an Aussie and find I have to modify my scripts to American English.
