I've been accepted!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Apatow Crew]

did you forget? I wrote five scripts from 17-20. And have those registered under WGAe or WGAw. Remember? You asked like 2 years ago about screenwriting and I told you what I knew back then.

I even paid a guy in LA (before even thinking about going into directing at LA Film School) to read my script and see what he thought. Basically tore it to shreds but offered me a **** load of advice to become better (watch movies, read screenwriting books, write, write, write, etc. One painful 50 min phone call it was...but he was right (and he's sent me MANY unproduced scripts to read via e-mail...which I haven't...yet) to become better. Long story short, right now, I am okay-pretty good at writing action scenes...and I am detailed about it, cause I love action/fights in movies)

Like how long were they? Were they feature length long?

How many people have read some of your stuff?

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Madness theres tons of video equipment places here in the state. You have the script, you just need the tools. Just go out and make a movie now. It'll saves you thousands of dollars from doing that instead of school.

Thats about what I did, but only one problem holding me back. It's just me really. I have the script and thats about it. I have no one to really help me or actors.

I had someone they said they help me. I talked to them like once, back at the end of may 2009. and its almost end july 2009. So yeah.

Forgot I wrote a short (mostly due to bad planning)

Four of the five are feature length (which is over 60 pgs last I checked). The 4 scripts range from 70 something to 89 pages.

I've submitted various scripts to script competitions. Family has read some...Darth Elektra read the zombie script....about it. That one guy in LA who reads scripts for a living and grades them.

You want to read one? I bet you are a better writer than me, writing is hard. I mostly just enjoy writing action, everything else is hard really.

I guess I look into the NC State one....or Wilmington. One thing for sure...hell no to Winston Salem. Also, I think I need a 3.0 HS GPA for that school. My 1.6 ain't gonna work.

Yikes, you are going to have a hard time getting into many colleges, I'm afraid. Have you considered going to a community college and taking some film classes? It sounds like financially, that would be your smartest option.

If it makes you feel any better, film majors are a dime a dozen these days. It doesn't seem to be about having a film degree at all anymore...it's about who you know.

What I find funny is that was good enough for LA...but I guess they will accept anybody and if they can afford to go, they go?

1.6 HS GPA?

I was lonely I didn't have a gf, that's how bad my hormones were in my teens. I only got my **** together for senior year cause I wanted to be a screenwriter. Got a C average senior year and missed 0 days. Year before as a Junior? D average with 20 missed days. Hell, Freshman year (I think it was) I...was taking a final exam open book test...I slept threw half cause I was depressed I didn't have a gf. Had a crush on a girl even though I didn't talk to her at all in highschool. The only thing that interest me in school was P.E. and weight lifting. Hell, I failed Algebra 1A 3 times before I passed it on my 4th time.

damn....

 

[spideyboy_1111]

[enterthemadness]

That sucks. Shame on those schools.

Wait, don't u go to UNC-W? So, they only care about money?

geezus.

 

[enterthemadness]

geezus.

Yeah...I know, I failed at H.S.

Tomorrow or later on in the week, I am gonna call LA Film School and tell them I have to drop out due to it being too expensive and ****.

I probably get a job later on or go to Community college (then transfer) or try to get into a college with film program.

sucks man.

that's life sometimes, though.

You did the opposite of whats supposed to happen when you don't have a girlfriend. Dang I didn't have a girlfriend and I wasn't invited to one party my entire four years, and I still hanged in there. Just like the cat poster. You clearly need to hang that thing on your wall.

 

[enterthemadness]

Yeah, it is. And I am quickly developing into being a Night Owl, which can be bad. I think it's due to loneliness. I find it funny...or ironic...my brother in the past has stayed up most of the night playing PS3 (he's deaf and always got his way). But...guess who is the night owl now? Me. I went to bed going on 5am last night...alarm clock on cell woke me up at 9:30 am...got up for good at 11 am ish. Damn barely 6 hrs. And it's 3:12 am here now.

I think I know what u are talking about...one thing is for sure, I slept better when I was making money.
