Hello everyone! I am new to the board and I thought I would give everyone a little bit of info about myself.
My name is Andrew. I live in Baltimore, MD. I am studying film production. Next semester I am going to be taking my first script writing class.
I joined this site to get some background info about script writing and to know other writers. I myself have not written anything. I mean, I haven't written anything worthy of being called a script. I write dialogue sometimes but nothing compares to what's on this site.
In my spare time I play guitar and love to listen to Jimi Hendrix's music, so inspiring. I really like Kevin Smith movies and I am a huge fan of Cameron Crowe. I also like watching Kevin Spacey, by far my favorite actor. My favorite movie is American Beauty. I watch the TV show House religiously. Hugh Laurie is a genius!
I can't think of any other things to ramble on about. If you need anything else just ask me a question.
I think I'll start off reading some shorts and then work my way on up. Any suggestions? |

Are there really 827 more superdrews out there? Anyways, welcome to the boards. I hope you find them useful should you feel inspired to compose something of your own.

There is a thread for that, called SimplyRecommended Scripts: http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-knowyou/m-1141227828/If you browse through that you are bound to find something. |

Not really sure what you mean there. I suppose anything's worthy of being called a script. I don't wanna offend anybody on the site, but I have to admit, there are some sucky scripts on this site. Mostly mine. |

Welcome. You'll find a tight knit group of people here who like to read stuff, and like to give sincere feedback. Reading other people's work helps to get you noticed and whether those people read your stuff, others will notice that you're here, and tend to migrate towards your stuff.
Hope you get a lot out of it. |

I have made videos for some of my classes and some needed dialogue. In my head I came up with what the characters should say and how they should be positioned on screen and all that junk. I've just never written anything out and put it on paper. Does that make sense? GREG: You lost me on this one... GEORGE WILSON: I hope this tight knit group allows for an outsider to come into the circle. All I really want to do is make friends and have an enjoyable time swapping scripts and knowledge. Thanks guys! |

Drew,
Great to have you here. I've been around exactly one month and I find it to be very inviting to newcomers who have a sincere appreciation for and an eagerness to get better at the craft. The simple axiom that governs this place is like George said, treat others as you'd like to be treated and you'll have a lot of fun here.
Where do you study film in Baltimore? I love going to Baltimore on Airtran and taking the light rail downtown. They have really good fares out of Rochester from time to time.

Actually, I'm in a small rural town outside of B-More called Stevenson. I am studying film at Villa Julie College.
Thanks for the welcoming! |

Quoted Text I got the telling stories part down. Just need to get my writing skills matched up with the imagination. I'm going to keep working and I'll post when I'm good and ready.
Thanks guys! |
