All this week I’ve been writing out my new screenplay project. It’s 93 pages. I started Monday morning and finished last night. I literally did nothing for four days straight other than write. I loved it!
I’ve been working on the idea for this movie for a while. Over the past few weeks I’ve developed the characters and plot structure, and mapped it all out in an outline broken down by minutes. In screenplay format, 1 page = 1 minute of movie time. So 93 pages is an hour and a half long movie, which is pretty standard.
I want to have a feature film completed not only so that my company South9 Entertainment has one under our belt, but so I can get the acting and directing under my belt as well. It’s a big project, but an amazing thing to know you’ve completed.
This is my second screenplay I’ve written. The writing process on this project went a lot smoother than my first one. Experience helps a lot!
The great thing about being a filmmaker is that when I write something or think of a project I want to film, I can just go out and do it. Most writers wish and pray for a production company to come along and take an interest in their script.
I’m not one to sit around and wait for something to be handed to me…
