Just curious if there were any screen writers out there. I'm about 40 minutes (of screen time) into my first script.... Family, children, business and pinball take up almost all of my time but I'm about to buckle down and hammer out the rest of my screenplay.

When I first came up with the idea, I wrote knowing it would be low budget. It's heavily dialogue based, has only a few main characters and the locations are found almost anywhere, mostly public places. When I first started writing I even considered shooting it guerrilla style but as its progressed I see the need for the story to be shot in a more professional style to show the true beauty of the story.

Thanks for your responses. It would fail as an animation unless it was shot and colored like, A Scanner Darkly or Waking Life but that would double production costs. I'm not even sure I would want to direct it or produce it. Maybe shoot a trailer and do the the crowd funding thing. I want to see it to fruition but have so many other ends to the candle burning. Writing is something I do daily. Directing not so much...

Dude! I bought that last night since I decided to buckle down and finish.

I had the idea of the trailer and the logistics of it long before the whole story. It will leave you wanting more....

I'll let yall know first!

I'm a total rookie. First script. I know it's good though. The story came to me in an instant, all at once. After I finish the current project, I'm immediately starting my second. When I was 16 I graduated high school and took a year off to rest (party) and then, applied and was accepted into film school. The Friday before the Monday I would have started, I was wrongfully accused, arrested, and incarcerated. Lost my spot. Got married, had babies, had to have a career.... became what I knew already. (A plumber) Now that my business is growing and I'm having more free time, I want to get back to passions.

Thanks! I'll take any advice I can get.
