Hi every one. I am Razi from Pakistan. I am a short film writer or rather trying to be one. I would have preferred to write my scripts in my own language as I am not that good with the English jargon . What, I will do is , I'll post my scripts in English but my characters will be speaking URDU(my mother tongue) with English sub-titles in the parentheticals  off course, that will make me a little comfortable.
One of my shorts has already been filmed by the name Unknown as a project for the University of West Minister

I will be sharing that soon.I hope i will be motivated by some good writers around.

Cheers!!

Welcome Razi.  You are not the only one here whose first language isn't English.

Welcome to Simply, like Phil said, there's a few writers here who probably would prefer to write in their mother tongue.  You'll find that the members who read your scripts will help you if you do struggle with English, we're nice like that :)

That is true. I am an example.  ;)

And as for the subtitles thing, my own movie project (the one I mention in my own introductory post in this section) is in Bosnian and If I ever put it up her (that would be AFTER filming and release) there would be subtitles below.
