On an alternate Earth where morality is reversed, a young rising mobster must grow his criminal empire to save the world from self-destruction.
Can anyone provide me with a small handful of cinematic examples of static characters? Preferably ones from films of great acclaim? I'm writing a story where the protagonist is a static character, but I'd like it to be seen as credible and I believe having some references to go off of will help.
Some...

Captain America doesn't change...? Really?
I'm not sure if it's what you mean, but I think Rocky Balboa in the first Rocky movie is fairly static in that he's the same kind of person at the end of the movie as he was at the beginning. He doesn...

@Anthony In that MasterClass article, it says, "While there are a lot of different versions of the Captain America story with varying levels of staticism, overall the character remains the same: he be...

I have been watching this animation on Netflix and really enjoying it. Very dynamic, very colorful, very edgy. What are your thoughts?

The animation is outstanding, but the character and the story moved me in a way I wasn't expecting at all. With just a few episodes (10), the show made me root for the characters and took me on an emotional roller coaster ride.
Yeah I really dig the color palette as well, and how they use it to show the tech and powers that the characters use.
I love the vibes of these colors together. Thank you for sharing!
I was wondering, what's the best way to write a fight scene in a screenplay?
Unless I’m mistaken, the preferred amount of pages in your standard feature script should be around 90 to 130 pages (according to research, it's sometimes 120 pages). Now me being the novice screenwriter that I am, I'm awar...

This is a terrific question from a newish writer. William Martell has an entire book on writing action and I highly recommend it as it is cheap but very informative. But in short, I write action seque...

All great advice, L. Tom Deaver. "The best way to learn is to read the scripts from films you love though. THEN develop your own style and voice." That reminds me of something that I do. When I'm outlining a certain genre, I find and read scripts in that genre.
Hey Everyone,

Hi @Shaun I’ve a vintage noir I’d like a graphic novel of.
Hi Shaun, I have been thinking about converting one of my screenplays into a graphic format for many years (I know it can be pricey). My co-written script entitled "The Crooked Cross" is a crossover b...

When creating new stories, I write with the thought of them being animated, as I always feel more, how should I say, creative liberation. How about you? How would you like your projects to be seen? Live action or animation?
I mainly write scripts with the thought of them being live-action, Michael Cole, but sometimes I think about both (live-action and animation) to figure out which one would be better for the story....

I like watching anime and cartoons. Guilty pleasure. Never thought of it both ways when writing, Very interesting.
I like both. though I have very specific influences, I see my own films looking something like defenders of the earth meets heavy metal for animation and labyrinth or who framed roger rabbit.
I was wondering, which medium is more profitable, television or film? I wrote a feature screenplay but now I’m wondering if I should convert it into a teleplay. What's your opinion?
Before you do all this work (because making a series bible is hard work) do you have a rep or an Entertainment lawyer, producer that can show your work to decision makers?
Dan M: "Indie feature film is your easiest path to be a produced screenwriter." That's the path I'm on. I would write for studios, channels, networks, and streamers though.
My point of view, do what's best for the story. The ONLY way of making it is by having a great idea beautifully crafted. I am not convinced any story can be both a brilliant TV show and a film.
Thank you for connecting Michael
No problem. Thank you for accepting.
Thanks for the add,
Three kingdoms. Three rulers. One mystery that binds them all together. For reasons unknown , a trio of sovereigns must destroy their own kingdoms by masquerading as tyrants. Along the way, they'll face assassins, rebellions and coups.
Greetings everyone! My name is Michael and I'm a beginning screenwriter looking to make connections and break into the cinema writing industry.

Awesome! Always great to meet another comic book fan!
Hi Michael!
Good Afternoon, Heather!
I’m commonly told that one of the best ways to get better exposure into the film industry is to procure a licensed agent. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Well, I entered the Nicholl Fellowships Screenwriting Competition with my screenplay. Fingers crossed
