Hy everybody
Im' looking for partner(s) for my new script on English - "Berlin Wall." Because I'm from Croatia and English isn't my native language, I need help for 2 stuffs:
1. I need someone who will help me with English phrase, slang, grammar etc.
2. I also need somebody who will tell me about teen-life in America, which, I suppose, is much different then Croatia

Screenplay which I'm writing is almost impossible to record in my country because theme itself. It is story about 15 year old boy Daniel who feels erotic attraction to the his mother and often has a wet dreams in which his mother appears (however, in hidden form). But when Daniel meets Kathy, girl his age, it would awake in him memories on one tragedy - when he was a kid he saw Barbara naked, soon after he saw train accident when little boy died - which is origin of his "Oedipal complex."

Screenplay is much complex, with a lots of movie references and quotes and I believe that America is only country where it could be record, because many things, pop-cultural references etc.

My idea is that this movie would be a teen version of "Last temptation of Christ" where main actor pay price to his own guilty and inside conflicts. How I don't know well American culture, teen-life, phrase and slang - I'm looking for partner who could help me with my problems. Believe me, much filmmakers here in Croatia said that script is good, but that it isn't for our conservative country, specially not now.

I could help out here and there, I won't be available at all times.

The thing to consider here is taking things one step at a time.

Need help with teen life and slang?  Gotcha on that one.

I'm not saying a word. :-)

Good luck Mesmer - It sounds like a great idea for a script.
