Script Revolution is a script hosting website offering many of the features of the top script directories for free. Screenwriters can add and manage as many script listings as they want for zero cost. Filmmakers can browse the script listings as much as they need without charge. Inspired by the efforts of SimplyScripts, which has helped so many writers and filmmakers find one-another, Script Revolution hopes to bring another avenue of opportunity.

Once signed up, members can upload short, tv, web series, or movie scripts and add a variety of tags which help describe the nature of the material - we’re not just talking genre here, we’re talking budget, story structure, lead role genders, writer style, and much more. Filmmakers can then search the database using those filters to find exactly the type of script they are looking for. That’s the thing you see, the ethos at Script Revolution is all about discovery rather than promotion. Listings are all random so there’s nobody paying their way to the top, soliciting votes, or using any tricks to get ahead of others. Readers don’t need to sign up to anything and don’t have to be part of an exclusive club to access scripts. They can also bookmark all the scripts they like the look of ready to come back and read at a later date. There’s no clique or elitism here - all scripts and all readers are considered equal.

Script detail pages also include the writer’s bio with links to their social media accounts and a contact form that sends messages direct to their email - very useful for those who only want to upload their loglines and handle read requests themselves. In addition to that, all the writer’s other scripts are also listed. If someone loves your writing, they are exposed to all your writing. This ultimately means writers can build up their own profile pages, with a link they can share, introducing themselves, providing their contact details, and listing their scripts ready to read.

Everyone is welcome to join the revolution - http://www.ScriptRevolution.com

CJ - I do like the site. Hopefully, you will build a large enough database to attract filmmakers. I did note that you did not have and terms or conditions or standard liability waivers when you sign up.   Do you have them for when a script is submitted?

Thanks for signing up, Dave, and thanks for the kind words.

Yes, there’re terms that have to be accepted every time someone posts a script.

Interesting that it's a Drupal site. I pretty much stuck with WP and Joomla for the more complicated sites. I might try Drupal out on my domain soon. Looks pretty decent.

CJ- Congratulations. I am so excited for you!  We are all rooting for its success.   Good luck.

Thanks dude, appreciate the support. It's been wonderful watching people adding their scripts to the database.

Nice one, CJ.

Created my account just need to submit my scripts.

Good luck to you with it, CJ! I'll sign up later - want to go through my screenplays first and decide what's considered to be finished work.

Is it only for unproduced screenplays?

Quoted from Warren Nice one, CJ. Created my account just need to submit my scripts.

Thanks so much for your support, especially being one of the first to sign up.

Quoted from khamanna Good luck to you with it, CJ! I'll sign up later - want to go through my screenplays first and decide what's considered to be finished work. Is it only for unproduced screenplays?

Will be great to see you and work on there, Khamanna.

You can add screenplays and tag them as optioned, seeking funding, in development, or produced. This way you get to build your portfolio. The script search lists scripts tagged as free to produce, for sale, and examples of work by default but users can change this if they want. You don't have to add the pdf if you want to keep that private.

Some new features.

Members can now add YouTube, Vimeo, and Instagram social media links to their profile. Great for showing off any produced videos or marketing activity.

Home page now shows the current stats for member count and number of scripts in the database.

The "Writers I Follow" page now displays a stream of activity from all writers a member follows such as when they add and update their script listings. This is to help filmmakers see the latest from their favourite writers.

Writers can set a script status to "Seeking feedback" to help them hook up privately with keen readers who like reviewing material.

Awesome - will update my listings over the w/e, ty CJ!

I registered a week ago. Will upload some scripts soon.

Good luck CJ!

Excellent!

Sorry I haven't done anything since I signed up, but I'm really really behind on all this other stuff.

One thought for those who worry about their scripts getting stolen, my agent used to tell me to only post the first 30 pages of a feature. I've done that, but also left chunks out in the middle. By the time they get to page 30 or 50, they know if they want to read more or not.  

Sounds cool. Count me in.

Good strategy. I might stick that advice in the FAQ.
