I’m 15 with the most genius movie script ever.?
Question by Alrighty.: I’m 15 with the most genius movie script ever.?
I’ve always watched movies that are said to be “based on a true story” and would get very angry. How could a person’s life be so dramatic? What I didn’t realize, is that for a whole story to play out like a movie, things and events and relationships must take place for a long amount of time.
I’ve finally put an AMAZING and almost too good to be true story together that actually came from MY LIFE. and I couldn’t be more proud..even though the situations sucked. But I didn’t realize that the drama and situations I was going through were actually movie material…and I didn’t realize there was an actual PLOT and story line to what I though was an ordinary life.
So I’m currently in the process of finishing up this script (but..can’t..exactly..thiings in my life haven’t been resolved yet..so untill then..I’m making up an ending to my own liking)
BUT…should I wait untill I’m older to make it into a movie? and how would I get started? I’m so clueless.
Your help will be rewarded.
OKAY.
I’m not saying I have some amazing life story. Nope. No. Not at all.
I wish I could tell you everything it was about, all the detials, how exciting it is, and scary, and romantic, and tragic, and wonderful, it is.
But I can’t give this idea out…I’m not risking my story idea being stolen by someone else. Honestly, It’s just TOO good.
But people…I want this is be an INDIE FILM…how would I get into that? And what age should I start getting prepared? Because I want to write scripts for many more movies and will starting as soon as possible. But I’m MOST focused on this story only because it’s so fascinating and unforgettable. Almost every person that has asked me about it, such as my sister or friends, have all been amazed by how TRUE everything this is.
I don’t know you guys.
But I’m not backing down. Even if you think I’m one of the millions.
I swear to you all, I’m ONE in a million.
You’ll see my film one day. You’ll fall in love with it one day.

Every single day in every single screenwriting forum all over the internet, some buffoon writes “I have a story that must be told!!!!” and it’s their life story and it’s no different than a million other life stories or what’s interesting to them is not interesting to anyone else. Seriously, if by some magical happening, you were able to pitch your idea to some execs at a studio and you said exactly what you just wrote, they would have had security escort you out of the building by the end of the second paragraph.
You and a million other people have writte an “amazing” script about their life. Guess what? No one cares. ESPECIALLY if you’re only 15. No adult is going to pay to watch a movie about the life of a 15 year old. I’ve heard thousands of pitches and yours is literally one of the worst.
So if you want some advice from a working screenwriter, come up with good ideas for scripts and write those, keep writing, get better and eventually start working on getting a lit agent. But forget about this “amazing life story” baloney, you will be laughed out of the room by anyone and everyone who matters (and will burn any bridge you might have made otherwise). It’s the sign of a rank amatuer to think their life story is “an amazing story that must be told!” You do not seem like a dummy. You’re the first teenager I think I’ve ever seen in this thing that actually writes with some semblance of spelling and grammar like a real writer would, so keep on doing that.
PS. Don’t take my advice, I’m only an experienced produced screenwriter. I’m telling you, if somehow you were to ever get to pitch this “idea” to anyone of any importance, you WILL burn your bridges. You have no idea how many people say the EXACT same thing you’re saying. It ain’t going to happen. Do what one of the other people here said, get your friends, get a video camera and make it yourself; that is literally the only way it will ever get made. You seem like a smart person and when I said “buffoon” earlier, I wasn’t referring to you. But if you think the “life story of a 15 year old” will get made by any studio or even an independent prodco, you’re sadly mistaken.
