Question: What are the best websites available to rely for screenplay writing tips/movie making !?
Answers:
I work (part time) as a reader/editor for two screenplay writers!. All of the websites are about the same!. Zoetrope and Tiggerstreet are a bit better than most because they are peer review sites and I'm sure there is a local filmmakers or writers group near you!. Join them!.

There are other sites like Scriptpimp!. They charge a yearly membership fee and they will keep you up to date with contests and things like that!.

The best thing you can do is buy a camera and start making your own productions!. You'll learn by doing and trust me almost no one respects an unknown writter with what he thinks is a killer script!.

Two facts to keep in mind, it's almost impossible to sell a script without being in the Writer's Guild of America!. They have only 30,000 members and only about half of them make a full time income of over 50k a year!. also every year over a 100,000 new scripts get registared but only 1,200 get made; 600 Hollywood films and about another 600 indie, cable, TV and small release films!. Oh and if you look you'll see a sizable number of movies are made by writer - directors shooting their own material!.

The internet is loaded with "services" for the writer!. People who will charge you up front to read and promote your script!. Needless to say they are ripoffs!. also you can go broke buying books and DVDs on how to write a great script; funny if you read enough of these books you'll find all the authors contradict each other or you'll get pearls of wisdom like -avoid cliches, avoid them like the plague!.

Oh and back about those 100,000 new scripts a year, the majority of them are dreadful and no one wants to read them!. Once I was talking to a real schlock D list producer and even he gets five new scripts a day!. There is such a glut of material out there!.

There was something else I was going to say but it slipped my mind!. If you like you can contact me at brianjames@yahoo!.com!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
