Okay, i've got stories...but i'm clueless how to put it together as a script. I know there are some programs that you can get but i'm curious your thought on that program "scriptwriter" and if it really helps someone who has never done it before.

Also, does anyone know people or is anyone interested in trying to make a script out a sci fi future thriller with me?

I just got a response from someone on Craigslist and they wanted 12k !

like i have 12K.

okay...hope to hear from someone.

What do you mean "put it together as a script"? Are you talking about format? Or story structure?

sorry, poor choice of words...
I meant, actually take the story into a screenplay...
The story would have to be flushed out as well...

Take my advice and please don't let your script be lorded over by, of all things, a computer program...granted, it's a sci-fi script, but still, sci-fi filmmakers like Paul W.S. Anderson probably write their movies like that, lol...I would just keep shopping around for a scriptwriter. It doesn't have to be a professional, money-grubbing scriptwriter, just someone who can prove to you they know how to write decent sci-fi and help someone carry out their vision. It seems to me like you could be one of those auteur filmmakers if you work hard enough...a filmmaker who has a very strong and unique vision, and looks to the skills of others to convey that vision.

I've been trying to work out the story first and it's very difficult with sci fi because once you create the world, there are all these rules that you need to abide by.
there are a few holes i have to fill and the ending that really needs to punch...but i'll let you know when i get the story worked on...

That's a very important part. You create the rules and then enforce them. If they get broken, the story sucks.

I emailed this awhile back and I never followed through because the idea is so damn overwhelming. Anyway, this idea just won't die and I feel like if I don't give it a shot I will totally regret it.
okay, so i've had this idea for a film since the late 90's. Everytime I think about it, i get overwhelmed because I've never written a screenplay before. Also, the way I invision the movie being shot, the set and everything also overwhelms me. I would be fine starting with a short version of this but I need to flush out some details since Sci-Fi can be overwhelming. if anyone is a fan of THX 1138, Logans Run, Tron etc and have written short screenplays before please contact me and let me know if you'de be interested in helping me put my idea in writing.
cheers!
