>Billions of people in the world
>Barely anyone can write a half-decent kino script

Has this been explained yet? Seems very weird

>>213583960 (OP)
Writing is extremely difficult and requires the rare combination of introversion and advanced empathy/social comprehension.

>>213583960 (OP)
Actually talented people are gatekept out of the industry

>>213583960 (OP)
Hollywood isn't meritocratic.

>>213583960 (OP)
Most people have better things to do

>>213584044
Power players in Hollywood pulling the ladder up to prevent competition for their sake and their mediocre children's sake.

>>213583960 (OP)
I got 2 ready to go kino scripts in my notes app but ain’t nobody gonna finance that

>>213583960 (OP)
It's a very valuable commodity, friendship that is. What did you think?

Kino scripts don't go viral online because they require an attention span beyond 10 seconds. Do you think any of these trailers would work today?

This. Hollywood does not want or care about talent.

>>213583960 (OP)
There's so much bureaucracy within western society. To make a good movie requires a lot of people and a lot of other people's money. Scripts that start out good are edited or altered to death by studio executives or other writers, or other directors, or other producers because everyone needs to have a say in what's going on. The same thing happens to video games, and comic books. Too many cooks in the kitchen.

>>213583960 (OP)
Most people who think they are talented aren't and most actually talented people do other things. Don't believe me go ask the kid who hangs out at guitar center all day to play you his song. It's gonna suck ass. Now go ask your neighbor who has his own business and recording studio in his basement but has never told anybody he even plays guitar. Shit will knock your socks off.
Guess which one thinks he should get a record deal? Writers, actors ext are the same unfortunately

As opposed to the lean and transparent asian societies

Watched The Little Things a while ago, there's a good reason that script was shelved for over 20 years, absolute nothingburger of a movie akin to Killing Them Softly

>>213584554
They are slow burns for sure but they are entertaining. You should stick to Nascar and nfl.

You need filmmakers not just writers/directors/producers so getting the whole package is hard. I'm sure there are better screenwriters than Tarantino but they aren't as good at produicing, marketing, and putting the whole movie together.

>>213584177
Kristen Stewart's mom is a script reader, i think.

>>213584044
>>213584352
this, the talent is actually in hollywood they just aren't getting work or the studios and execs take over the movie and become armchair writers/directors

>>213584044
Why? Why wouldn't producers want good stories that will bring money and generate hype and franchises?

>>213584528
there's a balance to be struck
it should take ten years of planning and theft of funds to build six miles of train tracks like it does here in the U.S.
But we shouldn't be like China and build entire cities in four years and have them crumble and collapse in three years.

>>213583960 (OP)
Just pick the biggest personal problem in your life and then invent a visual metaphor for it
i.e.
>I am lonely
>loneliness and isolation are represented by the distance created by looking at the world from inside a taxi cab
And voila, you've just created a masterpiece

>>213584229
Send them to me anon or at least a portion of them, I will give you my opinion

>>213584657
>it should
it should not

>>213584654
Because good scripts aren't always filmmable or sellable. Plus plenty of screenwriters probably just never get it out to the right people.

Why don't the people in here actually get their ass to work writing some kinos instead of just browsing 4chan all day?

>>213583960 (OP)
Studios have an insane amount of amazing scripts, decades worth. They hold onto these tight and many never see the light of day because this intellectual property is worth billions probably.

There are probably scripts at these studios back from the 70s that are yet to come into fruition.

>>213584704
I don't have any connections in Hollywood so writing a script wouldn't lead to anything

>>213584704
Budget and framework for the other talent and technical staff.

>>213584704
People like watching movies but don't want to make them.
We should be able to put our money toward reliably good entertainment. I hate how every purchase I make feels like gambling these days.

>There are probably scripts at these studios back from the 70s that are yet to come into fruition.
Michael Cimino started trying to get The Conquering Horse made in 1970 and the project finally got buried for good after Heaven's Gate...

>>213584725
This I have written 4 screenplays(horror, action noir, scifi thriller and thriller) and getting them made is a whole other matter.

Seems like a topic for /x/. Kinda like how psychic powers are "real" yet no one seems to have them.

>Has this been explained yet? Seems very weird

I'll give you a little hint, just search % of men and women working in executive positions and writing and directing since the 2008 writers strike

>write an amazing script
>retarded producer decides to "modernize it" and changes the setting from Victorian England to Los Angeles in current year because no one likes period films anyway
>studio just released someone's nephew's debut solo album "Baby Baby Ooh" and we can make lots of money if we shove these awful pop songs into the film.
>actually, lets get a different writer to punch up the script
>actually, lets get another writer to add a comic relief character
>actually, lets get another writer to change the ending
>casting director has the perfect choice for the romantic interest: Djimon Hounsou in a wig!
>K Pop Demon Hunters is big right now! Can we make the main character a K Pop singer? Actually, lets just add some musical numbers.
>the actor has a really interesting take on the character. He wants to dress up like a lumberjack and talk in a high pitched voice because he just came back from a lumberjack retreat in Canada.
>if you don't concede to these changes we're pulling all the funding and the actors will quit
>now look into the camera and say "time's up, white men."

Have you even tried sending them or something? What about foreign countries? China might be willing to make them to create their own Hollywood. It's also known they cannot write to save their lives there. And then there's AI too

>>213585276
I can't speak for scripts but I've written 4 novel manuscripts and two collections of short stories and not a single publisher in my country has been interested. Obviously I suck, that goes without saying, but the odds of ever getting anything picked up is nil.

>>213585311
self publish, that's what Amazon is for, it's like the one good thing they still do for the world

>>213585276
I can’t email scripts. They all have a strict no unsolicited material policy. You’ll need to be referred or discovered at a festival.

People didn't take the writer's strikes seriously

>>213584677
Sure, what’s your FAX?

there are no adventures anymore in modern capitalist dystopia society

you can't inspire wonder when people all hate each other and can barely make rent with 2-3 jobs
