What's up guys? I've always wanted to write a movie and I think I've decided to finally try to tackle it. I've already done some research and I actually even have one page of a script written so far. It's going to need a lot of editing and fixing of course since it's my first but... I was just wondering if anyone else here has ever written a script? Maybe we can collab or even if you haven't written one maybe you can read mine when I add some more? or now? Idk not really trying to take it too serious just havin fun and something productive to do. Reply if interested

probably not writing it correctly but that's what I have so far. Any pictures in your mind when you read it?
I did film school years ago ..and what I learn't then is long gone outta the window, thats just the issue once you get comfortable with one way of doing it,...then they change the rules, but if you can get a full and recent script of some Award winning movie and look to the style or treatment, as a way forward then theres so many styles to try to
Honestly, the first page is pretty good. But nothing has happened so far. I wish you had written up to the point where something happened so i have an idea of where the story is going but it seems well written so far keep going (y)
As an actor I have read tons of scripts. You have the format right so now it's up to you to decide what to put in it. The only thing missing is my pink highlighter pen over my part so I can pick it out easy. Also send it to your actors in Microsoft word so that if you need reading glasses such as I do and the part calls for me to wear no glasses (as usual) it is easy to bump up the font a bit and easily read it.
