The Screenwriting Collective is a place where experienced and aspiring writers come together to pool resources and produce great work.
We develop our own scripts for short or full length features and enter them into competitions. If we win we split the loot, like pirates.
We are here because we have either written a screenplay or want to write one in the future. We want to do it for a hobby or because we want to make that our life´s work. We all have varying degrees of experience. Some of us are film students while some just afficionadoes. But we ALL need a little help once in a while.
I suggest a Collective where we all pitch ideas, vote on the best and then develop it, together. We split the duties, create schedules, format, research, administration, logistics. etc. We give ourselves a cool name (The Screenplay Collective), we check each others grammar mistakes.
"It takes a village to write a screenplay" goes the old saying. No script is written on its own. If the last statement is true than a Collective of daredevil writers who go past the edge (or not), help each other out and whip out some really badass scripts isn´t a bad idea, at all. I am sure there are forums and workshops out there already. It just might be fun to get one started from scratch. Right here in this forum.
A note of caution, however. The Collective is based on Trust, Respect and Responsibility. If you don´t do deadlines, reply to emails on a timely basis, are generally pessemistic, have no sense of humor and cannot, absolutely can´t stand to be told that your idea sucks, STAY AWAY.
Interested parties respond here on the Forum.
