Act 1: Your Screenwriting Journey Starts Here
Imagine This…
A brilliant concept drops into your mind and you find yourself thinking ‘Geez, this would make a great film!
Unsure what to do next, you join Screenwriting groups on social media and find all kinds of contradictory advice. You also, unfortunately, meet obnoxious people who think they know it all.
Determined to write your script, you push your frustration aside and start Googling the shit out of formatting; but, this only leads to more confusion.
Then, in an effort to share your concept with the world, you decide to invest in books. You find some semi-helpful, but most are either overly complicated and formulaic, or written by some wannabee with a big ego who gives terrible advice.
Can you relate to any of this?
Congratulations, you’ve entered the world of screenwriting
