Hi folks,

I have written six features so far, which I really enjoyed writing. Now, I take a break from feature and focus on short. I 'm also enjoying writing shorts. I find writing short is very different than feature. I have written three shorts and going to do the fourth. I'm curious to know. How many shorts you have written?

Back in film school in 2012-2013 I had written 2 shorts, one of which my writing partner and I added to last year to try and make it a feature-length, and we are very close to completing it. The other we have done only minor revisions on.

Then in 2016 I wrote 3 more shorts, two of which my writing partner and I recently added to and they now feature in our horror/sci-fi anthology feature along with 2 more newer shorts we wrote last year, and 2 we wrote this year.

Plus 3 micro shorts (a little over 1 page or less) written last year that are based on dreams I had, and also a scary story I told my one friend when we were children, that are also included in the anthology feature as interludes and an overlude.

11 altogether so far.

I have lost track, but well over 100+ by now. I started out writing shorts and they are my favorites, but I wish I had started out with features instead since I still struggle to write those even though I've written many of those too.

I'd say about 20. And it's been sitting on the same number for a while now. Time to get back at it!

16 features, 26 shorts (including 10 OWC), two micro shorts, and a few unfinished projects here and there that I can't account for number-wise.

Thanks to you all for your replies. Before posting this question, I thought there would not be more than 20 short scripts. SS has not only good but also hard working short script writers and as a result, it has had lots of short scripts options and sales.

Keep up the good work.

10 shorts, 2 features (they are terrible)

By the end of the year I am hoping this will be extended to 22 shorts, 4 features, 1 TV Pilot



Feature

42.2

Two steps to writing a good screenplay:
1) Write a bad one
2) Fix it
