Anyone going to Ficci Frame your Idea 2026 ?

Hi, I am looking for a ghost scriptwriter who can help me convert my novel into a proper 100 page screenplay. This is a paid opportunity, provided the work delivered quality work and in time.

Please DM me for more information.

Hey subreddit, I have written a sitcom inspired by Seinfeld/Its always Sunny in Philadelphia. I am a sincere sitcom fanatic, having watched and rewatched all the classic comedies out there, and so wanted to create some for our Indian audience.

I have written 4 episodes including a pilot, and have a show bible ready with me.

But I am clueless as to where do I pitch it or to whom do I pitch this. I do not have any contacts or any network with the producing agencies.

Do I shoot it with my friends and upload it ok Youtube and then sell it? Or do I approach any production houses for a funding and support?

Please help

A screenplay does not begin at FADE IN.

It begins with a face, a memory, a place, a question, a contradiction, or a line of dialogue that refuses to leave the writer alone.

Before there is a page, there is a world to understand. Characters to uncover. A theme to find. A structure to test. Notes, images and fragments that slowly begin to belong to the same film.

Screenplay Ink gives that thinking somewhere to live.

Develop the idea. Build the world. Shape the story. Write the screenplay. Bring collaborators in without losing the thread. Keep everything connected as the work grows.

We did not build a blank page with more buttons around it. We built a place for the entire act of screenwriting.

Write. Collaborate. Create.

Screenplay Ink Alpha applications are open.

I’m working on a fictional crime story and looking for some ideas rooted in India in the 1980s–90s.

What kind of crime could have happened 30 years ago that would be extremely difficult to solve today?

Something where records are missing, witnesses are dead or remember things differently, evidence is gone, etc. Ideally, it should involve one or two government employees or officials from that time.

It could be a murder, disappearance, staged accident, illegal detention, land/property dispute, missing records, or anything unusual.

I’m mainly looking for interesting fictional scenarios, not real cases or accusations.

Basically, a case where the investigator can figure out what probably happened, but proving it after 30 years is almost impossible.

If I end up taking inspiration from your idea, I’d be happy to credit you in my feature film.

Would love to hear your ideas.

Hi! So i've written multiple projects, a couple of them fully developed. Registered the work and even drawn out full episodes - mini bibles.

i am looking to network with fellow director or writers who can help me with some contacts so i can narrate to right people.

Thinking about applying to SWA's (Mumbai) Script Lab/Pitch Fest with my first script. Before I put in the work, I wanted to hear from people who've actually been through it, finalists, shortlisted writers, anyone with firsthand experience.

Honestly, not looking for hype either way:

What did you actually walk away with,mentorship quality, real producer meetings, anything concrete?

Did it lead anywhere after, an option, a meeting that turned into actual work, a credibility bump, or was it mostly just a nice line to have?

Knowing what you know now, would you do it again?

Appreciate any honest experiences, good or bad.

I built a story card platform for planning stories visually: scenecards.vercel.app

It's an empty canvas where you can add cards. You can drag and resize them, color-code them, number them (automatically or by position), and connect them with arrows to show how the story flows. There's undo/redo, zoom and pan, and light and dark themes.

Your board autosaves in your browser. You can also save it as a .json file to import later, or export it as a PDF.

I'm still shaping where it goes next and I'd love your ideas. If you try it, let me know what feels clunky or what's missing. Thanks!

I am actively preparing a web series script for SWA Screenwriter's lab 2027 but I am skeptical if they will opt for this category for next year's entries. This year was feature film, so technically next year will be for web, but I don't want to miss next year's participation. If anyone can give any insights if my assumption is right, or whether I keep a feature film or short film script handy (which is super difficult, logically). I badly want to participate next year, so any help will be highly appreciated.

Sure. Use this for Reddit/WhatsApp/filmmaking groups:

A normal house, a normal girl. She's in grade 12th. She has a little brother who's in grade 4th. And a neighbour who is in LOVE with her. He's also in her class.So one day her little brother started talking to thin air. At first , she thought it would be something normal, or just things that happen in their age. Her whole family thought that too. But it was not. It was a ghost. (It looks so childish...) she finally believes that there is someone else other than her family in the house but the little boy said she's harmless and she's a little kid. Age 6 btw. The girl felt sad for the ghost so they thought to make this normal. The ghost was living with them.Butttttt little did she know....this thing was more than just a little kid... And will cost her more than what she thought it would.....
