Welcome to Script 4 All

These pages will introduce new concepts in screenwriting and script making

When an artist – of any kind: painter. writer, sculpturer and such – has an idea or a concept he (or she) believes in he has to take it out. He has to get it out of his system by expressing it in some manner, airing it even if the public does not approve. The artist has the unique ability of taking 1 plus 1 and makes them a 3. How does it happen? By simple association. The artist experiences something, it bring to mind a grain of an idea which builds itself into a creation. Think of it as a mother of pearl. How does it create a pearl? All it takes is a grain of sand which turns itself into a beautiful pearl. This is the way a story, a painting or a sculpture comes to life.

All the above is true only if you were born with the quality of telling stories true or imaginative and the ability to express them on paper. One can cultivate such talent by studying the art and refining it. One got to know how to build a script. I always think of a skeleton of a story as the structure of a house. You got the walls, the floors and the ceilings as well as the window, whole line of electricity and plumbing. Now you got to design the interior of the apartment. Put the contents in your creation.

Now let us assume that you managed to write a script which everyone tells you that it is close to being a masterpiece. What do you do now? You got to sell it. How? First of all you have to realize your market is limited to people who are somehow linked to the production side of a movie. It is almost impossible to get them to look at a script unless it is forwarded to them by an agent. Preferably a reputable agent who will believe in his talent and is ready to do almost everything to market his creation. Obviously such agent handles writers who already have a record.
