I'll say it again: Chill. Do you really believe that I'm hellbent on destroying your reputation, your film, and your life? Dude, I'm just trying to save you some grief. I've watched others walk down the same path you're starting down, and it takes them years to recover; if they recover at all. Haven't you seen Chris Hanel's The Formula? I was honestly curious about the "Creative Service." I'd never heard of the field being referred to as "Service" before. I was just wondering what sort of work you were trying to break into, that's all.

If you start with something smaller, there's a chance you might have something to show for it. And seriously, three people does not a "community" make. Other people have been giving input, not just three people. RocketGirl has been giving input. She even pitched an idea that had lightsabers in it (who knew ). Seriously though, I realize that we haven't had a lot of people chiming in with willingness to actually film it, but then, like I said, I think it's waaaaaay premature to be getting onto that. And anyway it's not like every one of the posts in this thread have been written by the same three people. Perhaps there have been some people more active than others (backdesk, RG, and myself, for instance, which I'm guessing is the three you're talking about). Anyway, I'm willing to write the script. I wouldn't consider it a waste of time. Like I said, I'd consider it a work of fan fiction at least, so even if it never gets made, I'd still feel some pride that I create a work of art. Saying that a script is throughly, 100% useless & a complete waste of time if it doesn't end up getting filmed is sheer idoicy, at least if the writer doesn't feel that way. Howewever, while I may write this script (and if there was anyone else who was hoping to be the screenwriter), I think you've got a good idea about starting smaller. One way of doing it is to write a script for a five or ten minute fan film. One with story, of course. It wouldn't be a lightsaber duel, but perhaps a space battle, or just one short scene from the bigger script. Then, we can try to film that. If it fails miserably, then we'll know not to try the larger-scale one. If it works we can continue on (though even then we may decide to only step it up a little, rather than assuming it's OK to jump headfirst into the large-scale project). However, that won't stop me from writing the script. Like I said, I wouldn't mind writing it pretty much as fan fiction (in script form, yes), and I wouldn't be crushed if it didn't get filmed.
