Writing

I actually started writing this when I was 18. When I had done with it, it was a mere 18 pages written. It was terrible, I actually still have a copy of it. I was just writing at the time, writing as I went along. I wrote about 4 of these types, all around 18 pages long. It sat around in my notebook and on my computer and especially in my head for a few years. This January, I received "The Hollywood Standard" and read it, re-read it, and re-read it again. It made me realize the craft of screenwriting. I think the more I read it and memorize it the better my work will be. Its just like a job, it takes forever to get the hang of first, but after a while, its second nature. I highly recommend it.

Funny thing, the guy that gave me a copy hasn't really read through his own copy and hasn't really done much, and he's much better than me.

Back to the writing. What I did was write a first draft(showing no one draft) and that came out to about 30 pages. After that I had the basic story in my head. So I went back and wrote every scene on those 3x5 cards we used in high school. I came out with 50 cards, each one a minute, then just started adding in scenes. By the time i was done, I had 100 3x5 cards and the entire story in order, so all I have to finish is to write it in format to be readable.
Its been a long learning curve for me, basically 8 years for this one, but now that I'm about to be done, I'm on a roll.

Just remember its a job and its not going to be great all the time, but if you don't keep working, you won't get paid. Start with the Hollywood Standard, and since you've read Story, I'd recommend Adventures in the Screen Trade. What I did was any movie they referenced, I'd put it on my Netflix queue. So then I'd read other people's screenplays, write my own screenplays, watch movies, and make movies. Its a hell of a lot to do, but I feel like I know more than most about making movies now.

Stay cool, read those books.

Incest

After reading the script for Chinatown and spending way too much time on the forum boards on IMDB, I've been tinkering with a plot about incest....

Its intriguing research I'll tell you that.


A story written as if its what happens to Katherine, but not the same timeline. A good nice girl who finds out her mother is also her sister. That is effective drama.

Future Porn = Syphillys sex

Okay, I had the thought: What would be the more disgusting porn to watch now that the internet has arrived(I say this in present tense assuming it is 1999 when you read this).

Well here is what you see now.
Beastiality, Puke, Gagging, Penis goes ________ insert there, Gang Bang Orgies, Midgets, Ugly chicks, fat girls with no tits, MILF, Grandma's, and thats all I can think of without actually going to any adult website.

Well what I think would be completely new and gross out factor involved so people will watch would be:



Disease Porn.

Yes, like watching a guy with warts all over his cock penetrating a gal with CRABS on her cooch. Or maybe a guy with HIV positive has sex with someone without a condom.
Or Syphillis sex. The possibilities are ENDLESS with the new viruses coming out daily and the strains of those viruses mutating etc.

It wouldn't be a market I'd be into watching more than once or twice, but it would sell.

Employment Inquiries

Dear Mr. Writer/Director/Producer-



I want to be your apprentice. I am a relentless writer/director/producer and much like you will do with I can get to make a production work. That's the kind of dedication I want to be able to constantly be able to use. I've directed, line produced, set up lights, operated the camera, but this won't stop me from bringing coffee for everyone because I know that every job is a big job that needs to be done.


My favorite films of yours are _____ and of course _____. Also should be noted is ______ by Actor/Director/Writer/Producer who I found through your company.

I am also a big fan of _____. I don't know if that would give me more credibility or not, but I thought you should know. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

If you cannot help me, would you be able to give me a referral to somebody that could?

Respectfully Yours,


Danny D
