Reckoning - Short, Comedy [27 pages]

Logline: Three hitmen are sent to eliminate a client at his house. But when the client’s best friends arrive unexpectedly, the tables turn. Now trapped with a dead body and the client’s friends, the hitmen must find a way out—without escalating the situation any further.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/18K9YuC-PDroJRlvO7zEXK7Rpz5LC0pnI/view?usp=sharing

I’ve been working on it for a while since I first shared the project, and I believe I’ve made considerable progress. I’m quite confident in this draft.

I would love to hear your feedback—what worked, what didn’t, whether it was funny or immature, how you feel about the characters and anything else that comes to mind. Please feel free to tell me. I’d be glad to rework anything I find less than great in the screenplay.

Thanks in advance for your time, I appreciate it.

Disclaimer- I'm still not sure whether it will be a TV series or a feature. I consider both options to be reasonable possibilities, and based on some previous feedback I’ve received, I believe it could evolve into a TV series.

Town of Me (25 pages)

Hi!
Still waiting for a feedback for this one. :)

TOWN OF ME

Genre: Drama
Page count: 25

Logline:
In a desolate city where shadows walk by day and terrorize by night, a weary survivor battles isolation and fear, finding fleeting connections in an unrelenting world haunted by faceless figures.

Synopsis:
In a city overrun by enigmatic, faceless Shadows, Randy, a middle-aged man, navigates the ruins of a once-thriving civilization. By day, the Shadows coexist in eerie silence, but by night, they turn hostile, forcing Randy to constantly seek shelter and safety. During his journey, he encounters an untrusting stranger, Jaden, and a loyal German Shepherd named Chief, each revealing fragments of hope and hostility in a world devoid of humanity.

As Randy wrestles with the crushing weight of survival, he’s driven by glimpses of his lost son, Noah, appearing amidst the Shadows like a fleeting beacon of purpose. But every attempt to reconnect with his past is thwarted by an indifferent and brutal reality. Town of Me explores themes of loneliness, humanity’s collapse, and the
struggle to retain hope in a world where survival often eclipses compassion.

LEGO BrickFilm - Deadpool: Maximum Carnage {51 PAGES}

over the course of my Thanksgiving Break, ive made a little Stop-Motion LEGO FIlm movie script - that i hope one day I can publish and create on YouTube

Title: Deadpool: Maximum Carnage

Plot: Deadpool is hired to take down a cult that worships Carnage, a chaotic and murderous symbiote. However, when Carnage escapes, Deadpool must team up with a reluctant Spider-Man to prevent Carnage from spreading his influence across the city. The film is filled with Deadpool’s signature humor, breaking the fourth wall, and over-the-top action sequences, while also exploring the dynamic between Deadpool and Spider-Man.

hope it works and I hope you have a great time reading it just as much as I did making it

Seeking Advice on my Horror Feature Screenplay

Hey guys. So, currently I’m deep in preparation for writing my feature screenplay. I’ve got a strong idea of the plot, inciting incident, low point and climax but for some reason it’s been very hard for me to actually start writing the thing. Here’s some things that I’m having trouble with.

  1. I’m struggling to find a personality for my protagonist, like I know what he does but I don’t know how he acts while he does it - does this make sense ?

  2. Im struggling with what happens in the script between the beats I’ve come up with - for example I know what happens on the first few pages and I know what the inciting incident is but I can’t figure out what happens between them.

  3. My story is a body horror/mystery centering around a demonice possession of a family

I’m aiming for a combination of the mystery solving from “The Ring”, the terror and bleakness from “Hereditary” and the body horror from “Slither” with the tone being very dim but building up to a heroic final battle in the end where the protagonist fights the evil and wins.

I guess what I need is some advice on how to bring all my ideas, beats and rambling and turn them into a finished product.

Thanks for listening to my rambling - love y’all ✌️😎

I Don't Want To Die Alone - (15 pages)

GENRE: Drama

LOGLINE: As a nurse tends to her dying patient with dementia, his fragmented memories resurface, compelling her to confront her own buried past—or be haunted by it forever.

SYNOPSIS: In the somber, emotionally charged world of hospice care, Annya*, a young African-American nurse, tends to one of her patients named* Gideon*, an elderly black man in the final stages of cancer and Alzheimer’s.*

Gideon remains silent and withdrawn, a behavior Annya finds comfortable, as it allows her to perform her duties without emotional entanglement. Their shared silence becomes an unspoken agreement—both guarded, both detached—a routine that shields them from the weight of an intimate connection.

But one day, Gideon breaks the silence, forcing Annya to confront more than just her patient’s traumatized past; but her own as well.**..

PAGES: 15

ACTORS: 2 main actors, and 2 extras.

I am looking for thoughts and critiques to help sharpen this story. Thank you!

SHIKRA(revised) - 20 pages

Hi , r/ReadMyScript !

I’m currently developing an adventure series about an anthropomorphic deer named Shikra,

set in a world of talking animals with early 1900s vibes and a touch of modern humor.

The main plot is pretty intense—think betrayal, war, and a tragic hero arc—but I want to balance it with lighter, character-driven filler themes, especially in the first season.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NMCdrRu_nxnjBGYxwxxd4r_B_byT-Irz/view?usp=sharing

Please tell me what you think! (and if the stupid link works lmao)

[P.S, just finished the plan for episode two at a cafe to day, super exiting!]

Dream Negotiator - Short Script - 19 Pages - Feedback

How are you?

One morning, I woke up with what I thought was a fantastic, mind-blowing idea about dreams and their negotiation. After a few days of confusion, I finally managed to put it down on paper. But halfway through, it hit me—I might be unintentionally creating a cheap version of Inception. 😅

So, I tried to shift focus, aiming to create something more unique. I poured everything into the dialogues, letting the characters' personalities and dynamics do the heavy lifting. I also worked hard to keep it "directable" with simple characters, locations, and objects—because let’s be honest, I’m nobody, and no one’s lining up to pick my scripts. It’s all packed into 19 pages now, but I’m still unsure if it works the way I envisioned.

Could you please take a look and let me know if it’s any good? I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback. I’m super self-critical, so please only read it when you have the time and patience.

Logline: A dream negotiator strikes a deal to trade nightmares for a happy dream, paying far more than necessary to fulfill a personal agenda.

Thanks so much for your time and thoughts!

SHORT - "3 Dates" - 15 pages

LINK

A guy goes on 3 dates! To me, it's a character study. Ideally it would rely heavily on the performances. There's a slight bit of ambiguity to the ending. Curious about any notes on the script or the story. I put a couple shot directions in there that were important to me.
