brehs... lemme get some feedback on this bomb ass script I wrote for a class.

@TheGodling got me thinking though... maybe I should make it more personal. I don't know if Im an experienced enough screenwriter to run with a meaningless fictional scenario.

It's always best to write what you know, even if you're just putting your emotions or your experience in a meaningless situation. I had to write something once about three assassins hired to kill each other so i made them all friends which obviously any of us can relate to and the main one was going through a bad breakup which I was going through at the time so yeah it's fiction and "meaningless" but I found a way to make it at least somewhat personal

Word. See I just haven't yet found that balance. None of what i wrote had any personal/sentimental value

It doesn't always have to tho breh. It can be personal or it can't be. Eventually you'll get to the point where you can do either but if you're not there yet, go personal

Yeah, I feel like, the filmmakers who just invent outlandish scenarios, like Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, happen to be the most well grounded in film theory.
Tarantino basically lived through film, and so he can get away with purely imaginative storytelling...

Yeah you gotta have a good imagination for stuff too. I had to write something which was completely foreign to me but I made it work just based on that. Try to think outside of your box as much as you can
