So You Wanna Make Movies??

So you want to make movies??? Welcome to my world. The world of storytelling. The world where your eyes and ears are always ready to receive inspiration to your next project.

I swear, I don't even have emotions anymore. Not because I'm heartless or don't care but because I want to save the emotions for the story. Everything is a story. Hahaha! Twisted, but oh so true.

Recently, someone I mistaken as a friend decided to alter the status of our friendship by luring me to his home under the pretense of script writing. Once there, he gave me some pointers on writing and we had a short discussion, then he quickly exposed his real motives. This left me shocked and angry, so angry I couldn't wait to write about it. When I finally emerged from this hypnotic writing spell, what I ended up with AMAZED me. I had just wrote my first psycho thriller and it was hot! I had never wrote anything like this before, NEVER! So when I say there is a story in everything, there is. And I have trained myself to find it. So thanks to Mr. Fake Friend aka Sneaky Creep, I'm scheduled to shoot my new film "Do You Know Who I Am" in September.

So,  if you still want to make movies your first task in to get a script! Stories are everywhere, as I demonstrated earlier, lol. If you are going to make a film, you have to have a great story and then be willing to run with it.  You can write it or hire someone to write it. If you're budget is extremely tight like most independent filmmakers then check out Fiverr.com http://www.fiverr.com/sayfivenow/write-a-short-story-film-or-sitcom-for-you 

On this site you can get a short film script for just $5. I kid you not! So many useful gigs, you just have to go see for yourself. 

Whether you write it yourself or hire someone, be careful not to fall in love with every word. It's far easier to pick dialog (and discard the rest) when it's written by someone else and there's no personal attachment. A beautiful line is of no use to you if it doesn't move the story forward. Screen writing is, to some extent, minimalist, so you can expect to make some significant cuts from what you've written in the process of getting it down to a shootable script.

Now go get a script!! Write it, buy it or even borrow it. After you secure a script you believe in, you'll be ready for the next phase and I'll be here to assist you.
