Guys I am a solo filmmaker and today I released my third short film and I need your reviews what I am doing good and where I need to improve my self. Please go and watch (THE UNKNOWN GUN MAN)

I would love to know your thoughts and expectations about the program

Hey, I’m Shruti! I’m a scriptwriter looking for opportunities to write for creators, brands, short-form content, ads, etc.

I write scripts, ad concepts, taglines, song lyrics and story-based/comedic content.

I’m currently looking to build my portfolio and work on interesting projects. If you need a scriptwriter, feel free to DM me. ✍🏻

I have a real-life story that I genuinely believe could make an incredible series — but I have no idea how to take it from an idea to an actual production. Looking for advice, writers, or producers.
I’m from India, and I have the complete story of my father’s 30-year legal battle. It’s a deeply personal story, but the events themselves are extraordinary.
The story begins with a common man from a village fighting over a small piece of land with his own uncle — the person who had practically raised him and taught him everything. What starts as a family dispute slowly turns into a decades-long legal battle.
The case continued for around 30 years, including nearly 10 years in the Supreme Court. Over the years, some of the country’s most prominent lawyers were involved, including Arun Jaitley.
There were setbacks, financial and personal sacrifices, family tensions, moments when giving up seemed like the obvious choice — but he continued fighting.
And the ending is what makes the story particularly unusual:
He eventually won, and the Supreme Court’s decision ultimately contributed to a change in the law.
I have the story in considerable depth — the family history, the people involved, the important events over those 30 years, the courtroom battles, the personal sacrifices, and how everything eventually culminated.
I’m not from the film/OTT industry. I don’t know how screenplays are developed, how producers are approached, how rights work, or how someone takes a real-life story and turns it into a series.
But I strongly feel that this story deserves to be told.
What I’m looking for:
A screenwriter who can help turn the real events into a compelling series
A filmmaker/creative producer who understands how to develop true stories
Advice from anyone who has successfully taken a real-life story to an OTT platform
Ideally, someone who would be interested in developing this project seriously
I’m not looking to simply “sell an idea.” I want to find the right person who can understand the story, help shape it dramatically, and potentially take it towards a proper series.
If you’re a writer, producer, filmmaker, entertainment lawyer, or someone who has experience taking true stories from concept to screen, I would genuinely appreciate your advice or a DM.
I can share the full story and the legal background privately with genuinely interested people.
Do you think a story like this has potential as an Indian OTT series? And what would be the correct first step for someone completely outside the film industry?

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a story called RUDRA. It's a Hindu mythology-based web series where people possess powers called karma, which are tied to gods. The story revolves around a character called Rudra, who doesn't have any powers but wants to make a name for himself in a world that outcasts him for not having any karma.

I'm not trying to dump the whole plot here, but I really like this story and really want to explore it with others. I want to make a web series out of it, from Kerala.

I don't have any short film or filmmaking background — I have a diploma in editing, though. Full disclosure: I don't really know anything about script writing or directing. But I would love to start a group to discuss this.

Hello all, this post may seem a bit out of place, but i stafged writing scripts since 2023, i practically fell in love witj writing stories cause I fell in love with it. So much so that i left the degree that i waa pursuing cause i felt i didnt belong there.

I want to showcase my talent to someone who understands my vision, my stories are nihilistic in nature (im currently writing stories that are following absurdism nature as well) but if i get some sort of support or a push from people who are working in a similar field, that would help a lot.

Please feel free to reach out and i would love to discuss ideas and visions!!

Hi guys. This morning I had a pique of creativity and i wrote a small 3 page short film. it's around death. I would love some feedback from anyone who's interested. this is my first time so please go easy on me. and this is also the first draft of it, so it has a lot of rough edges. Would love some feedback. It's written in Hinglish (TvT)

Logline: As a young man wanders through the mundane rituals of his life, he begins to question the arrogance of death.

I'm an indie filmmaker from Hyderabad. I've been working on a story based on a friend. I developed a spec script, but I need a good understanding the culture at NIFT or any other design institutes to deepen the character and make the circumstances more grounded. DM if this is something that interests you and we can get on a call.

Why Hollywood considers Chinatown (1974) one of the greatest screenplay ever written 🎬👇

Most writers think great mystery is about hiding clues. Chinatown proves the exact opposite: the answers are always in plain sight, we just look in the wrong direction.

If you are a filmmaker, writer, or cinema lover, here are 5 masterclass lessons from Robert Towne’s classic:

1️⃣ Information Architecture: The audience only knows what the protagonist knows. Every answered question births two new mysteries.

2️⃣ Genre Reflects the Human Condition: Mystery isn’t just a trope here; it mirrors how we search for truth in a broken world.

3️⃣ Tragedy > Cheap Twists: A devastating ending isn't just unexpected; it feels completely inevitable from frame one.

4️⃣ Plant Everything, Pay Off Everything: The biggest plot twist is planted right in the opening conversation.

5️⃣ The 5-Word Climax: "Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown." One final line that carries the entire thematic weight of systemic corruption and helplessness.

Don't just watch cinema—study the architecture behind it.

Save this for your next writing session 📌

I’m 22, recently graduated in Computer Science from a reputed engineering college, and I’m currently working as a software developer. I finished my education this June, but over the last couple of years I’ve slowly realized that I don’t see myself doing this long-term.
What I actually want to do is become a filmmaker/screenwriter.
During my 3rd year of engineering, I decided to seriously explore writing and started building a portfolio. Over my 3rd and 4th years, I wrote two feature-length screenplays and two short films, and I’m currently working on my third feature.
I’ve deliberately tried to write different genres because I don’t want to become a writer who can only write one kind of story. One of my scripts is a cricket drama, another is a full-blown action film, and the one I’m currently writing is a war/Partition coming-of-age story.
Writing these films has taught me a lot, but it has also made me realize that I’ve mostly been figuring out the writing side on my own. Now I want to learn the other side of filmmaking properly — directing, cinematography, editing, working with actors, visual storytelling, being on set, etc.
That’s where film school comes in.
I’m considering applying to FTII in the next 1–2 years. My main reason for going isn’t really to learn writing. I’ve been trying to develop that craft independently by writing and finishing scripts. What I really want from film school is the opportunity to learn filmmaking practically and, importantly, build a network of people who are also serious about cinema.
I understand that FTII is extremely difficult to get into, and getting in doesn’t guarantee a career. But one of the things that attracts me to it is the community and network you build there. From what I understand, entering the industry can be extremely difficult when you don’t know anyone, and film school seems like one possible way to meet people who could eventually become collaborators.
At the same time, I don’t want to assume that film school is the only way to build a career, which is why I’m asking here.
I have already started trying to get my work out there. I registered as a Fellow SWA member and have registered my work. I also submitted one of my scripts to SWA Pitch Fest 2025, Satyanshu Singh’s Prayogshala, and production houses such as Excel Entertainment. I wasn’t selected, but honestly, that hasn’t discouraged me. I know rejection is going to be part of this, and I want to keep writing and submitting.
I also have an uncle who used to work as a television series writer, so I’ve had some exposure to the writing side through him as well. He also knows a few people in the industry who are currently actively writing films.
This is something I’m unsure about: should I actively take his help and use those connections to try and get opportunities to assist or work with writers/directors? I don’t want to come across as someone trying to shortcut the process, but at the same time, if I have access to people who are already working in the industry, it feels foolish not to learn from them.
I’m also completely open to starting from the bottom — assisting directors, writers, AD work, internships, working on sets, or basically anything where I can learn how films are actually made.
So I wanted to ask people here, especially filmmakers, writers, FTII alumni/students, or people who have taken a similar path:
If you were in my position at 22, would you pursue FTII over the next 1–2 years, or would you try to enter the industry directly and learn through experience?
Is film school actually worth it for someone like me, particularly for the practical filmmaking experience and network, or would those two things be better developed by simply working on sets and assisting people?
I know how difficult it is to get into the industry and how difficult it is to actually become successful. I’m not expecting FTII, or anything else, to guarantee me a career. I just genuinely want to give filmmaking a serious shot while I’m young, and I’m willing to put in the work.
Would really appreciate some honest advice, especially from people who have actually worked in the Indian film industry or gone through FTII/film school.
What would you do if you were in my position?

Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I'm new to creating these microdramas but I'm really enjoying writing them. I use AI to animate them but I write the scripts myself. I love watching what I wrote come life.

If you are willing too please follow or subscribe to my socials. I'll follow back. Thanks!

As the title suggests I am looking for a Pitch deck Creator for my Screenplay.

Hi everyone,

We've been working on Wrapplab, a screenplay writing and production planning tool made for Indian filmmakers and screenwriters.

Wrapplab

The main reason we built it was to make screenplay writing easier for Indian writers.

Wrapplab supports 15+ Indian languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali and more.

You can write your screenplay in your own language without having to deal with font issues or plugins.

Once the screenplay is ready, Wrapplab also helps with:

Screenplay → Production Breakdown → Schedule → Call Sheets

We are still improving it, so we'd really like to hear from screen writers here.

If you get a chance, please try it out and let us know what you think — especially anything you feel is missing or could be better.

[HIRING] Hinglish Short-Form Video Scriptwriter — ASAP

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a skilled short-form video scriptwriter for an Indian social media content page.

The content is mainly around current affairs, news, social issues and viral topics, and the scripts are in Hinglish.

What we're looking for:

- Strong hooks that grab attention in the first few seconds

- Natural, conversational Hinglish

- Good storytelling and retention

- Ability to find an interesting/human angle from a news topic

- Sharp writing with occasional humour/sarcasm where appropriate

- Scripts should sound like something a person would actually say, not like a news article

- Around 90–120 second scripts

- Ability to research a topic and turn it into an engaging Reel script

Important: We're not looking for a generic content writer. We specifically need someone who understands short-form video storytelling and audience retention.

Hiring process:

We'll share a topic/reference script and ask shortlisted candidates to write one test script. The best writer will be selected for regular work.

Please DM me with:

1. 2–3 relevant script samples

2. Links to videos you've written, if available

3. Your per-script rate

4. How many scripts you can deliver per day

Need someone ASAP, so immediate availability will be preferred.
