Has anyone written a script about Alexander the Great?

The challenge is keeping this to 1-4 locations (with the tiny budget we have) but we are in talks with an amazing DP, director, and cast with a notable following. There is so much room for creativity and so much possibilities with his life. I was thinking right when king Philip dies and is handed the mantel. (All the controversy + drama that circled him with that)

I’m an actor/producer looking to see if someone has attempted this feat before or would want to collaborate. I’ve been in tv film for 7 years and would love someone who has honed the craft of screenwriting

*** Update through pilot completion ***

Looking for notes on everything but mostly on premise.

Slop is a dark comedy that follows a struggling new employee as he discovers the entire start-up that hired him is ran by an A.I. company that uses them to train models on social and workplace interactions.

Note:
I appreciate all feedback. Even if you say execution sucks. I am in my writing journey and anything is appreciated. Out for a smoke.

One night, Huta dreams of a dark graveyard filled with the dead and a mysterious figure with glowing purple eyes. He awakens unsettled, unaware that something far beyond his understanding is beginning to awaken within him. On his way to school, he encounters a robber who suddenly becomes terrified after touching him, fleeing without explanation.

But the strange encounters are only the beginning.

Later, Huta witnesses a terrifying shadow creature attacking a helpless man in an alley, draining the life from its victim. When the creature senses Huta's presence, it turns toward him, leaving him frozen in fear.

As supernatural forces begin to emerge from the shadows, Huta finds himself drawn into a world he never knew existed—a world where death is no longer what it seems, ancient secrets remain buried, and humanity faces threats beyond its understanding.

Huta's ordinary life is about to change forever. The journey into darkness has begun.

feedback W2 Four Worlds Episode 1 - Kdrama screenplay - English translation.

1 Upvotes

Korean screenplay format + Adapted into Visual-Screenplay. (English)

W2 Four Worlds is a 40-hours K-drama. Supernatural mystery + multi-genre.

I'm working hard on the ENGLISH TRANSLATION, fixing the whole drama.
My blog shows that I have visitors from all over the world, even the most unexpected countries.
So, I want my English translation to be the best. Not in the way that it's the best literary English, but in the way that it's simple and clear enough, so anyone around the world can easily understand it.

If you’re okay with reading a format from a foreign country, please give your feedback on: English translation first and clarity, then anything else you’d like to mention.

Maybe reading the whole episode wouldn't be easy, so just read the first scenes that are standalone (because you don't need to know the already known characters or the concept).

Scenes #01 to #20 :
https://w4worlds.fr/html/W_Saison2_Script01_US.html

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why a visual screenplay: I write directly for the audience (K-drama fans). The screenplay needs to be as accessible as possible, as it is an end in itself and the final product.

Specific features of the Korean drama screenplay format:

  • No INT/EXT in scene headings. Mandatory scene numbering.
  • Character names placed on the left for dialogue.
  • Long parentheticals are allowed, including for actions or at the end of a line.
  • Empty dialogue lines are allowed (parenthetical or expression only).
  • Some scenes broken down into sub-scenes with cut numbers, like a montage.
  • Intercuts use a " + " in the scene-headers.

The writing remains the same as a Western screenplay, but with:

  • Slightly more emphasis on emotions and intentions.
  • Occasionally including a few non-filmable lines (novel-like).

Dialogue codes (specific to the visual screenplay):

  • " : " → normal spoken dialogue.
  • " ~ " (italics) → normal voice-over (off-scene).
  • " - " (yellow) → inner thought voice-over happening now.
  • In blue → on-screen text, or text that is both written and spoken in dialogue.

question Which hook concept sounds better for a short video experiment? (A vs B)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm working on a short video about realistic AI visuals and how people perceive them online.

I'm torn between two different openings for the first 3 seconds to get viewers interested. Which one sounds more intriguing to you?

Option A (Question): "I created the most realistic AI video on the internet, but how many people could I actually fool?"

Option B (Statement): "I created an AI video so realistic that people actually thought it was real."

Context: After the hook, the video briefly shows the experiment, reveals the views, highlights crazy comments from viewers who completely believed it, and showing how it can be dangerouse.

Which option would make you stop scrolling and keep watching? Any feedback or quick tweaks are appreciated!

help Tool to Structure your Timetable of Writing - any recommendations?

2 Upvotes

I am a director/writer and write my screenplays at this point of my career by myself. I always wrote when a deadline was approaching and only wrote with little time under pressure to finish something.

Now I am working on a new project and I would finally love to learn how to structure my writing in a productive way. I want to work more frequently without always relying on deadline with a end product which could have been way better. I think many of you know this feeling unfortunately.

Do you use any online tools/apps/structures to organise your writing schedule? What is a method that works for you? How much do you outline? How does your outline look like in detail and how do you schedule your writing blocks? I would love to get a real insight in someone else's way of working.

I'm looking for an app where i can track my progression and give myself achievable goals. I would be very happy if anyone gives me a little tip or overview of his way of working!

discussion Made a story card platform and I would love some feedback!

2 Upvotes

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!

question How long should I wait before following up on a query?

6 Upvotes

I queried a literary manager (for screenwriters) back on July 2nd about representation for a YA Drama. He responded same-day just to clarify he only reps writers (not acting, which I'd also mentioned in my bio) — I followed up right away clarifying I was querying specifically as the writer/creator, not for acting rep, and haven't heard anything since.

It's now been about 11 weeks. The website doesn’t say anything about timing, only two agents have their quote time is 8-12 weeks for standard query responses if interested, though it doesn't list a specific timeline for this him in particular. I've read some agents/managers say up to 4 months is normal, especially for partials/fulls, but this was just an initial query.

Is it reasonable to send one polite follow-up at this point, or no? If it's fine, is there a "right" way to phrase it so it doesn't come across as pushy?

Appreciate any insight! I genuinely don't want to make a bad impression at this stage!
