Has anyone done any script writing? I have really felt led to get into film... Not expecting to direct a blockbuster or anything :) but I love independent films and I would love to get into that... And I have a few stories I am working on that I think might translate well to film...
I just found out we have a local film makers group (well, it is in "the city" for me- so an hour from home, but around the corner from work). For yearly dues you can use a ton of equipment for free. You do need to show proficiency to use any piece. They also have classes... But I thought it might be a great way (as soon as I am done with school in December) to meet some people making independent films in my area.
Scriptwriting is very fun! And in some cases, much easier than novel writing/story writing, because you don't have to focus too much on the details.
I did this year's scriptfrenzy just for the fun of it. You can visit their site and read some of their tips, etc. They also have free programs you can download that cut down on figuring out all that formating, etc.
