Hey Matthew! I'm finishing up my screenwriting program with Toronto Film School right now and found this video and used it as motivation to finish my script for class! This definitely seems like a fun and interesting challenge that I might put upon myself when I have time after school haha. Great video!

Congrats! Just curious, have you rewriting this and if so how many subsequent draft? May I read it?

[@futurefilmaker54]

I have not actually been rewriting this one. I had another feature that I spent the last few months prepping for the contest circuit and am moving on to a kids pilot that is a good comparing piece to the aforementioned feature. Maybe one day I’ll go back to this, but for right now it lives as a youtube video and a good story at parties.

[@dyuan]

Ok now how do you get ideas

[@futurefilmaker54]

Ideas from me typically come from questions that are typically wrought with conflict. So let’s explore this idea a little bit. The initial question. How do singers get their inspiration for songs? Olivia Rodrigo got hers from a break up. So I then added conflict to that. What if she wasn’t in a relationship and was out of ideas? What if her management needed to conjure up a fake relationship for her? Writing stories is all about knowing the right questions to ask and putting your characters is situations wrought with conflict.

[@AlexeBriand2002]

that's my type. Write what you know hahaha

[@lancegoodthrust546]

Tarantino takes 2 years in between films. I mean I get it, you seem like a young guy. But this is the opposite of writing well.

[@CodyTheGuitarist]

You're missing the point. This isn't meant to be a mind-blowing movie in the first draft. This entire challenge is to show you can write a first draft fast. Something many screenwriters or in my case. authors struggle with. The first draft is meant to be bad, it's inevitable that it will be bad. Its just gets your idea on paper. There's a saying among authors that good books are made in the editing process and the same can be said for screenwriting. This is a smart and effective approach to simply get you're basic idea on the page because too many people try and make that first draft perfect and never finish what they started

[@futurefilmaker54]

@@CodyTheGuitarist Id try to add onto what you said but you nailed it. Quentin’s Tarantino spends a lot of that time rewriting, I guarantee it.
