Back in early 2014, WILDsound began making movies out of writer’s logline submissions. It’s a great way for their script or story to be presented in a visual fashion. Take a look at recent pitches made into movies:

As of this writing, we have made over 50 videos in various ways and formats.

Click here and send in your own logline and we’ll turn it into a movie:

A great way to increase your presence and get your story out to the world. This network averages over 95,000 unique visitors a day. We guarantee that your video will garner 1000s of hits by being showcased on the YouTube channel.

Here’s a quick summary of writing a logline:

Here’s a quick teaser:

Brevity is an absolute necessity of creating a good logline. You should go through many drafts…

The Short Script. Why write one? There are many reasons to. If you’re just starting out, it’s the best way to master the art of storytelling in the screenplay format. If you can’t tell a story in 10 pages, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to write a full length feature script. Also, if you want to get your script made into a movie, this is easily the best way to make that happen because there are 1000s of young filmmakers out there looking for solid short film scripts to make to jump-start their own careers.

Stephanie Joalland wrote a great article on the 7 Rules of Writing a Short Script:

WILDsound has over 200 short screenplay loglines to read. Great for any producer or filmmaker looking for a solid story to turn into a film. Read them here:

Example of a Short Screenplay…

I like the idea of breathing life into a story and short of seeing it performed on the big screen I like the idea of actors doing live readings. There is nothing more humbling then having your work read by professionals or performed in front of an audience – and WILDsound has done this and so much more. WILDsound has provided invaluable insights into my screenplays and my novel, offering advice that has strengthened my scripts and novel; and made me a better writer.

Fantasy Movies are defined as stories with fantastic themes and out of this world situations. They are plots and settings that are not reality, either in the world that the film take place, or the supernatural and magical events that take place on Earth. The genre is distinct from Sci-Fi films, but the…

What is a family film?

First the difference between this genre and children’s movies: Children’s films are made specifically for children and not necessarily for the general audience, while family films are made for a wider appeal with a general audience in mind. They stick with a G or PG format. It’s basically a movie that can been seen by everyone that almost always has a feel-good or happy tone and ending.

This is a genre that will be around as long as families are around. Every week the studios will premiere a film that an entire family will be able to see.
