I'm currently writing a fiction script that's about child trafficking in London, it's a fictional story but it tackles a dark topic, I was wondering how I would research to make my script accurate? If anyone has any tips I'd be grateful.

I’ve sent this script here before but after some months and considering all the feedback, I made edits and revisions.

This will be the next short film i shoot, looking for a Dp and a few more actors but i would really like this script to be as good as it can before I begin filming.

So any and all advice/critiques will be helpful, thanks!

(it's not completed at the end pending)

This is the context of my story ,writing for the first time , is this the correct way of writing and how's the story and what are the mistakes and what need to be improved,

I need true suggestions and reviews about everything

Hey everyone! I need some help from people who are better at writing than I am. I have an assignment to write an idea for a five-minute non-verbal film. These are the requirements for the story: the film must be non-verbal, feature two characters in conflict, include a decision, the characters must be between 18 and 23 years old, use a maximum of three locations, and the film must be in black and white. For example, dialogue can be absent if people are unable to speak (e.g., they are hiding), if they don't know each other, if the situation is emotionally and dramatically charged, if they are at a distance (contradictorily, strangers even stay silent in an elevator no matter what happens), etc. Please help, it's urgent. Just list some ideas, no need to elaborate too much.

So it is a story of five friends who accidentally finds shipments from a gang ehich deals these shipments to a bigger mafia... The story moves like a cat and mouse chase with dark humour.. I have my script page ready..

Does anyone know if this festival is reliable? I don't want to waste a single cent of my money on something that's a scam or a complete waste of time.

Hi! I'm trying to practice my creativity and will write scripts for free for you guys. I want to hear any unique or maybe less seen scripts that people want. It doesn't have to be wildly different from anything; maybe it just focuses on a certain aspect of your choice.

If you do anything over them, all I ask is for a link or a dm.

oh also use my name sudo as the credit. Thats all! Thank you in advance!

Last November (2025), I wrote and directed this short crime comedy with a few friends on a freezing evening in Berlin. The story follows two low level gangsters whose simple delivery into a IKEA parking lot turns into a disaster after a naive misunderstanding. This was my first time writing comedy, and since English isn't my native language, getting the dialogue and humor right was quite a challenge. I wrote and shot the film in less than three weeks. I'd love to hear your honest thoughts on the writing and comedy. Do the jokes land? Does the dialogue feel natural, or does anything feel forced? Any constructive feedback is welcome!

Maybe not what's usually posted here, but I'm trying to build a portfolio as a video essay scriptwriter and I'd like some feedback on my first script! this is the first 4 pages.

My essay is an analysis on the film Buffalo '66 (1998). The analysis centers around it's controversy, Layla's agency, and how poverty encourages misogyny (but that last one isn't really shown in the preview).

My target audience is mainly cinephiles, film nerds, and people who just want something to watch while they eat. The tone I'm going for is a deep-dive analysis that's sociological but still humorous at times and not too stuffy. My video length goal is 10-15 minutes.

I'm pretty proud of the analysis itself, so I mainly want criticism on how the visual and audio cue column looks. Is readable and clear for the editor? Is it too simple? Would it be entertaining for viewers? Of course, if you find any major problems in the voiceover, let me know about that as well please.

Hi, I’m 20 and I’m working on a project, a series of short found footage films I call them "The Lost Tapes" this is one of the tapes, If you have time to read it, its pretty short. Please, let me know what you think of it, thanks.

i would love any feedback or for you guys to gas it up and let me know if i should keep writing, and let me know if the dialogue makes sense and sounds natural

Hey everyone,

I’ve been locking down a 15-minute transgressive short film script called Pinky Promise. I’m currently in L.A. Film School Online, Getting My Bachelors In Science In Digital Filmmaking. It leans heavily into dark comedy, domestic trauma, and psychological thriller territory.

Logline: After a star athlete suffers a mortifying accident trapped in an elevator with a bullied outcast, a desperate pinky promise of silence sets up a prom-night massacre sealed with a single roll of toilet paper.

It’s a very weird, tonal tightrope walk (think A24 meets midnight madness, scored to Tom Jones), and I wanted to see how the premise hits people.

If anyone is curious and wants to read the full master script, I dropped the link below. Let me know your raw thoughts on the tone, the pacing, and if the payoff lands.

Log Line: To find love, Mandy Turner must be brave and change because if you don't change nothing, nothing ever changes.

I have completed a full draft of the screenplay, but need to reformat the whole thing. I was mislead regarding formatting, but I now own Screenwriting for Dummies and I am wading my way through my screenplay changing sluglines from bold typeface to plain and so on and so forth.

This is my first ever post so hopefully it goes right. If you could tell me if I am going in the right direction with regards the story I would be really grateful.

Thank you

ADDITIONAL - I have corrected the formatting for this sample. It's the rest of the screenplay that needs altering. Sorry for being misleading.
