I have always wanted to write a film, and for the past few months among other things I have been brainstorming some ideas. I have settled on a genre and have begun writing but I am now at a point where I do not know where I want the story to go. I am considering writing divergent scripts at this point where the main charecter chooses good in one, and evil in another. I am not sure if this is how screenwriters do things or if they prehaps figure it all out as they go. For me I like writing and not knowing where I am going, it is like watching the movie in my head for the first time instead of having it blocked out. I feel like it gives me more freedom to explore ideas if I do not know how the whole thing will play out. Although I am more entertained by this form of writing I do not find it to be the most productive form.
My delayed new years resolution is to have a working copy of the script finished so that I can tweak it and share it with friends and aquaintences to get it out into the world and hope that someone picks it up either indepentently or for a big budget film, only time will tell. I feel I have seen enough movies to make a real run at this and tell a story that is both entertaining and relavent. It is a large goal I know but if you don't start somewhere you will never get anywhere.
