@@penguinmaster2361 It seems, that we've got ourselves into recursion...
This is hilarious
Me actually checking your YT channel
That old saying “don’t get it right, get it written” helped me tremendously as well.
Omg thanks for sharing.
Great saying! Never heard that one! Thx! =D
I’ve never heard that but that’s actually genius.
That's always been a big struggle, even in school. I worry too much about getting the little details right in the beginning that I sometimes wouldn't even start writing.
@Careful Icarus That's that was asked of newspaper writers. Get it started then edit it . The right brain and left brain cannot work at the same time. Get it written. Whale away. Don't analyze it . Rewriting does that .
1. Tyler
2. To write a first draft screenplay in 2 days
3. He brainstorms his story ideas.
4. He begins writing.
5. He's written 35 pages in a day.
6. He is stumped by writer's block on the next day, feeling unsure about the quality of his screenplay.
7. He remembers the true purpose of a first draft, and keeps writing.
8. He finishes his screenplay on day 2.
Beautiful
Twist: the video itself is the screenplay
Great protagonist. Love the Arc. Lots of tension and conflict. The antagonist is beaten and the hero wins..
This is literally exactly me. I write like 20 pages a day and usually finish my scripts in 2-4 days. My name is also Tyler.
Not to hate or anything but the story will no doubt be terrible.
"As long as the story stays in your head or your outline, it's not real." Thank you, much respect.
First Draft: It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to exist.
🙏
I needed to hear this lol.
Camila Petrucelli Thanks, I’m writing my first draft and I’m nearly done. There’s some dialogue I don’t like and it was making me feel like the whole story is shit. I need to just get everything down, read it and then start tinkering.
@Camila Petrucelli Sorry to bother you but, once the first draft is done, should I correct the problems *on* the first draft or in *another* draft?
But it shouldn’t be incomprehensible, dull, and stupid like this guy’s script is.
*I wrote a screenplay in 48 hours* - ahhh a fellow film studies student. I wrote my final screenplay the night before submission
film school's a mess, but deadlines do help. I just wish procrastination wouldn't be such a big part, because sometimes it feels like you will never make anything or do anything, but then suddenly you just get everything done in few hours. It's messy, but still somehow it's pretty damn good lol. I guess it's just a part of creativity, right? xD
lol me when i had to write and shoot a shortfilm for film school in 2 weeks
Johnny Caper is film school with debt and depression
Drop a video shid
XD
Somewhere in Germany you inspired a boy to write his first TV series and pitch it to Netflix in a few months.
Thanks, Tyler.
i hope i will see the tv series one day!🙂
viel Glück

This is a kick in the pants for all of us who have unfinished first drafts. Thank you.
Glad to hear it!
Behind the Curtain yikes I only have 3 pages 😬
I have to agree. I have been procrastinating for weeks to get the first draft of a story. This is really helpful.
@@MrWinter85 You can do it all before New Year's Eve.
@@pollypockets508 LOL...Boy, talking about great minds thinking alike.

😅
Yeah. Everybody knows all about that stuff.
:P
@@TylerMowery . Dude you rock! I'm going to put your picture up on my wall, so that whenever I want to write , I will feel inspired just by glancing at your pic! What you've done is pretty remarkable! Wow!
Yoooooo love you videos HilariouslyScary. Hope you found this video as motivating as I did!
I wish I wrote something like that
as someone who’s been stuck on writing a screenplay for a big movie concept i’ve had for a while, and has been stuck at 28 pages for about a few months, this rly helped me. It’s given me an inspiration and motivation to achieve my goal.
When I wrote my first screenplay, I decided to write it in novel form and once I hit around 30 pages I experienced major writers block, like I hit a brick wall--I thought it strange as much of the story was already in my head. So what I did was make an outline and got a stack of index cards and began writing on each index card a brief summary of what each scene is about. I would then start writing each scene in screenplay format one by one. I averaged 2 scenes per day, so I was able to complete most of the rough draft in about 2 weeks, except for the ending of the third act, which I purposefully will save for last.
Are you done now?
How are you going now?
@Ivan Poohbear What is your story about?
My friend Tommy wrote his screenplay for "The Room" in about 12 hours!
I'm sure he could give you some tips on speeding things up! 0:)
I'm writing my own screenplay for "Halloween Kills", I'm on day 2, page 44
YOURE TEARING ME APART LISA
Marko Delich will it be your own short film?
@@bl5533 not short. I'm on page 102, and I'm hoping I'll make it to 180 pages, it's my own version of a long movie lol
What’s its about?
I can’t even come up with a name in that time.
Normally the name comes while you're writing
As well as taglines
Yeah. I use a simple working title 'til something better comes along... or not.
@Avery Avery. After writing 180 pages to my screenplay, the title of the movie hit me...I still didn't have the title till I was practically done with the movie.
@@hschenck3394 . Wow! That's deep.
This isn't just motivating as a writer but as an artist in general, thank you.
That’s so awesome to hear! Thank you!
Totally agree
Same honestly every artist can go through these same struggles
I dunno. He could've subtitled this one "How I Wasted 48 Hours Slapping Crap Together at the Speed of Light & Then Throwing It in the Trash".
@bramlintrent1145 Have you actually read the script for Blue Moon? For a first draft compiled from absolutely nothing to what it became in that amount of time is seriously astonishing. Tyler admits it's not perfect, you're missing the point. Get down the first draft on paper first - and THEN go back and make as many notes as possible before you then move onto the second draft.
I wrote an one act play in six hours. We did a stage reading of it. I’m now editing it and adding more things to it. Thank you for the video, I find knowing the process of other people helpful and inspiring
Hello Michelle 👋
Whats yor story about?
What do you mean a one act?
@@user-sr9we3il6q A lot of plays have an intermission that breaks the play into a second half. Usually, thats a turning point in the story. In a one act, usually the action is much more concentrated, and so it doesn't need an intermission. It's also for the audience's sake as well. Siting down for two and a half hours sounds like torture, but with an intermission, it's usually doable. That's my general sense anyway.
I'm a pretty young kid, one who doesn't even know the first step of screenwriting. And I'm trying to write my first ever script for my film "Destiny" (sorry for the self promo) and every time I get a bit unmotivated, I rewatch this video and a few of your others. Your videos have really helped me understand how to build a story and characters. Ive just finished my first draft in just under 2 weeks. Thank you for making these videos and inspiring me and a whole lot of other young aspiring filmmakers.
Edit (August 25, 2022): I wrote this comment two years ago and guess what... I'm still doing the same thing. This video is awesome.
That’s great! Also a beginner in screenwriting and I’ve been struggling to get first drafts done as well. Mostly because I get drained of any motivation or energy after three days.
Hello, I’d recommend the Screenwriter’s Bible, writing your character, premise (goal), conflict (problem) and resolution. Then finding a beat structure that works for you, and writing out one line scene descriptions within your beat structure outline. That final outline makes it easier to write for me. Good luck 👍🏾
Asher mills
I recommend reading Save the Cat and continuing to watch other creators. Story breakdowns of movies and shows are ridiculously helpful in creating your story and characters.
Act 1:
Tyler comes up with ideas
He outlines
Act 2a:
he starts the screenplay
He procrastinated
He overcomes procrastination and gets 35 pages done
Act 2b:
Tyler continues writing
He’s worried about getting everything perfect
He is rewriting the first couple pages over and over, he is at his lowest point
Act 3:
Tyler overcomes his character flaw of trying to be perfect through a change arc and remembers what the purpose of the challenge was.
Tyler finishes the screenplay
He then releases a video on it
The end
Honestly the best comment
🤔🤔🧐👌👌
An oscar winnig screenplay😂😅
He didn’t follow the hero’s journey, he followed the writers journey
Bravo you have completed a script for short film. 😊😊.
It takes me at least 5 months and 4 mental breakdowns to even write half a script
Ikr
yeap
Ich just finished my first Screenplay. First Draft. You´re right with the mental breakdowns. Have the same. Now i finished it, and i want to began a new summary for a new idea, while will write on the secdond draft. Keep going, bro
Yep, just about every good script does.
same haha
Meanwhile me: struggles to write one even in lockdown
Lockdown is uninspiring though when you're outside and meet people is usually when you get inspired
@DrCrazyEvil - THANK YOU!! I thought I was the only one who thought way also. yes lockdown or quarentine is very uncomfortably uninspiring.
Yes but many great works were done during isolation.
@@gorkemgulan Yeah but we all work different, some people get inspired by different things :) if you have the idea already it's great you can expand on it. If your mind's drawing a blank though. Well, let's just say "here's johnny".

Wow this guy wrote an entire script in 2 days, this is about how long it takes me to procrastinate...
You can do it too.
Eve Angélique ahahaha thanks ;)
Whats your story about?
This is about how long it takes me to wake up.
it takes 2 days for me to think I shouldn't procrastinate and then keep continuing it again
I know no one will probably read this but I just really wanted to thank you so much for this video. As of two days ago, I began seriously attempting to finish a script which I started three months ago which has been on page 54 ever since. I would write like 10 pages or so a day, get up and walk around and then write again like two weeks later after heavy re-reading and revising. I watched your video three days ago and as of today, March 1st, my birthday, 2:07 PM, I have finished all 105 pages of my script and it is truly due to this video which pushed me to just sit down at my desk and write. Thank you so much Sir and have a great day.
What is the story about?
I’m reading this and feel the exact same way. Congrats on finishing your Script. I’m doing good the same.
I’m stuck on the very same page as you! 54. Holy shit that is a crazy coincidence. I’m finishing this thing.
Kudos + Congrats!! 🎊 Huge accomplishment, right?! Yes! Cheers 🍻
Thank you aswell

My man
It's always interesting to me how different writers can have such different processes. I spent so much of this video wondering why you'd skipped developing characters, then realized that you were just making an outline first. I've always done the outline after the characters, letting them dictate where it leads and hoping for some happy surprises along the way, but this also sometimes leads to overdeveloping someone who winds up being unimportant or underdeveloping someone I later realize needs more focus, so there's definitely arguments for both methods.
Yeah it’s interesting cause sometimes I plan my character’s arcs beforehand and sometimes I’m not sure and let the characters do their thing in the story I’ve planned. And sometimes they do their own thing and sometimes they go with it but generally in the end they’ll grow in a way that’s organic to the story I want to tell, and then I can go back and tighten it up in the further drafts. It’s the same with themes, I don’t always explicitly know 100% of what the story’s really about under the surface until it’s done, and then I can focus on that in my second and third drafts.
This is edited beautifully. It feels like I’m watching “The Social Network.” Short clips, precise edits, and fast transitions. All played with the main characters (you) narration explaining what’s going on. Nice man...
I love how your video about writing a screenplay has a dark night of the soul about 3/4 of the way through, after which you remember your purpose and recommit to your story goal.
Can you help me to make a screen play writing about a rose for Emily? Please 🥺 thank youuu ❤️
I would say though, that walking, in the fresh air, could be seen as the most productive form of procrastinating, since exercise and daylight can brighten up our mood, and invigorate us.
I often go for a walk when I'm feeling stuck, or my back is aching.
This video follows the sentiment of "Turning Pro" by Pressfield; an amateur waits for inspiration and the fear to subside, trapped in procrastination, while the "pro" mindset knows the fear won't subside and simply does it anyway, knowing the inspiration, or "flow state" comes after the artist has started working.
Yea there are definitely worse ways to procrastinate
If I went for a walk while procrastinating, my script would never get done...because I would freeze to death.
"If you hear a voice within that says you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced." - Vincent VanGogh Same goes for writing.
as someone struggling to finish a script and starting to hate and question all of it, I REALLY needed this video.
Glad to hear it!
Tyler! I usually don’t write comments online but I recently discovered your UA-cam channel, I have seen almost all of your videos. They have been very helpful and given me much knowledge of the craft, as you call it very “practical” guidance into screenwriting . In the past i have attended several different schools and well known courses, your videos have been very hands on. Thanks a bunch and keep up the good work!
I just finished reading your script and I could vividly imagine it play out like a movie in my head. You are so talented! If this is your first draft, I'd love to see how much better a second or third draft could go omg
This came out at the perfect time I’m embarking on a new script now!
Wonderful! Stay focused and get it done!
Whats is about?
Yeah! Wassis about? ;o)
@@MyMagicPockets It's about a screenwriter who knows better than to give away his ideas.
@@remixandkaraoke Ooh, what an interesting premise.
me, still writting draft 1 after 3 years: mmmm ok
Have you outlined? I spent a year and half on my first script before I finally realized I couldn't 'wing it' and needed to outline. Took me 6 weeks to write it once I did that.
@@zyrrhos nope, I don't outline... it's a novel tho over 300K words already :o
@@xChikyx Then why are you lamenting on a video about a screenplay? Apples and oranges.
@@zyrrhos because I can
@@xChikyx I see. One of those people. A thief. You don't mind wasting people's time.
Seeing your process and hearing the rationale behind them was illuminating and encouraging, especially the importance of not allowing yourself to be distracted or overwhelmed or so discouraged with the quality/perfection instead of just getting to work. Appreciate seeing the way you overcame some of the typical challenges and to see how you produced
Gaining that focus is something you really need in order to get sucked into writing. I’ve managed to get full episodes done for my series I’ve been writing.
Why does this feel good to watch while also being a personal attack on my storyboard I started two weeks ago
Hahaha. Not an attack! You can get that script done!
Read the 10 day screenplay if you're stuck.
Me: I want to write something simple, contained, that doesn't require research.
Also me: I'll write a sci-fi thriller set on a moonbase that involve scientific research and a military conflict between nations.
Hahaha. Oops
Dude, this is my 3rd time watching this video, I just read ur script! It's a awesome script! You've inspired me that I can do anything if I put my mind to it, well cuz when I'm older I really wanna be a movie writer
This video was honestly what I needed to hear. I've been working on a novel but I got stuck at one point so I keep rewriting the first few chapters instead but what you said about just focusing on getting the story down and forgetting about perfectionism was just what I needed to hear. Definitely following

Hi
This video helped me when I had to submit a draft for registration and I had less than 50 hrs..and I used studiobinder's story circle even on my earlier script and it helped me to diagnoise the problems in script...and my draft also helped me realise I know more about my characters and story than I actually thought...thank you brother for making this video😊
This video is a gem! Mostly, we read about story theory and how to fight creative block, but following along someone as knowlegeable as you struggling and commenting on your struggle and thoughts opens up a new perspective. Writing is diffuclt for everyone and understanding how to deal with it on a personal and emotional level is paramount! Thanks for this video!
That moment.. THAT moment when you had it finished. When you just.. stopped, and could finally say that you have all of that behind you, that you made it. It brought me to tears, I felt it, I absolutely felt it, because I am a starting screenwriter who has a huge problem with always starting up a screenplay and then has a huge mind block mid way through.. I had many, MANY screenplays ending up like that. I had barely a few I really finished. And even tho I cannot say I am that great at it, I dare to say that ALL of them had potential. Some of them are already lost in time and data, some of them "put under desk", and now I am trying to revisit one of my older ones just to see if I can finish it. And with this vid it could be more possible than before. Wish me luck. And thank you greatly, you've won my sub.
Last time I was this early I could write a screenplay.
I’m so glad I found you’re channel!! This was great, can’t wait to jump into your other content!
Welcome aboard!
This was so inspiring even as a designer. It's so easy to want to make the first go perfect, but it's so much better to actually have something done. Thanks, I learned something awesome here and I'm inspired by your mindset.
2 years ago, I once wrote a script in about a week. That was the first script I've ever finished.
I never re-read it because it's SO bad and embarrassing...
TheADHX u should reread it, maybe u can improve it? I don’t know, but that’s really cool. I never seem to finish anything I always get new ideas and it’s so frustrating lol🙈
That's why it's called a vomit script. Every person had a vomit script. Even the best screenwriters now.
My first scripts were all finished in weeks as well, I love rereading them but as comedies not the serious products they were intended to be😂
I didnt know in script writing the camera / direction is addressed as we... (pretty sure its not)
Haley Paradiso i NEVER read my scripts :D I want to become a screenwriter / director but i just cringe so much reading my scripts. Rip
So the lesson to me is: No matter how long it takes to write your script, you will go through all of these steps. (1) Confidence in your idea, you map it all out (2) You fall in love with your idea through development (3) At some point while you are writing, you will begin to hate it. Overthink it. (4) This step is either where you decide this isn’t the story for you, give up or keep writing.
Great video man!
This is one of my favourite videos of yours. One as a piece for UA-cam, but also as a demonstration of application and perseverance. Compelling and really quite invigorating!
This is such a good way to knock out a first draft. I just finished 90 pages in 48 hours. I’ll definitely be doing this again.
Really good illustration of a creative process.
John Hughes did that most weekends... Home Alone was like 1 of 2 screenplays he wrote over a weekend. Many screenwriters do just start from the first 5 pages till it's a movie, then keep writing the movie. Screenplays are at their core, 1 idea. Just need 1 idea worth writing a feature film about. Something to try also; John Hughes is not talked about enough though, it's insane he's dead.
People still talk about _The Breakfast Club_ and _Ferris Bueller's Day Off_, so he had to have done something right.
....and Home Alone 2 was Just Him cutting and pasting The Original Film's Final Draft and making Edits here and There.
Home Alone 3 was probably done in 10 minutes then
Don't doubt yourself. I read the first few pages and it already hooked me. Thank you for sharing your ideas, script and knowledge 👍
That was an awesome video! Thanks so much Tyler. Your feelings of doubt, the inner critic and being stuck resonated with me. I was soooo happy for you when you made it. Very inspiring. Thank you.
Needed to watch this! Thank you! My favorite quote from one of my writing teachers, "You don't have to like your first draft, you just need to write it."
Exactly right!
This is hands-down the most inspiring video I've watched on screenwriting
This is hands-down the first video I've watched on screenwriting.
🔫 "Hands up"
enough of this hands down thing....
I cannot thank you enough for this. When you said about the walk, I felt that. This little piece of a video is a great example, that every artist strugles and it is not unique experience. It's not to me, it's not to other writers. It is an universal thing, we all need to overcome and not get swallowed.
So much inspiration! I'm struggling too with my first draft, but this has given me an idea on how to solve it. I just breezed through all your videos on character development, arcs, conflicts, and everything. So much learned!
You actually deserve more than a million subscribers for this content. This made me way more excited to write my own story.
Thanks to you, I just realized how writing is beautiful.
Thank you; All respect.
I can see a young guy who is so passionate about his dream. Thanks, you get me inspired by your passion and the way you keep going through.
Whats your story about?
@@breevonnebenan794 what story? He never said he was making one.

Me being a writer, this speaks to me in volumes. I wrote a screenplay in 48 hours too, and I was glad I did it.
This was so inspiring. As someone who's always had this dream, I can always depend on your videos to help me overcome roadblocks. I've learned so much from you and I love your process. I cannot thank you enough for existing!
I wonder if you or anyone else realized that you could make a story circle with this process LOLOL You are a story teller down to your being!
Actually I thought that this is pretty obvious, that this video has such a character... Anyways, I agree, he's good!
I recently started to script and narrate my videos more consciously (inspired by a lot of your videos actually), can't even imagine how much time "usually" would go into a full screenplay
I've been keeping the story in my head for like 3 years and this catalyse me moving forward. Thanks!
I felt so called out when you started talking about continuously editing the first Act and I realized I had the same problem as you. This helped me calm my anxiety and panic attacks about not finishing my script and I'm actually making progress. thank you so much.
"Next, I took ALL my adderall over the following 48 hours, I find it to be a fantastic tool to create stories based on rules and circles"
Thanks to this video I just completed my first draft EVER after a solid month of work. At times it was frustrating, but I'm really happy with the result. Thank you Tyler for helping me!
Just started school to become a writer and a teacher. I have fallen in love with the idea of writing a screenplay. Loved this video thanks!!
I am so inspired by your hard work and encouragement. This makes me feel like im not alone, and i can push through my bad drafts!
This must be fate, I have two days off with no plans. Dude I admire you so much, I don’t know how you do all this. Making videos isn’t easy, plus editing it all together. Then doing this challenge on top of it. I’m curious about your life man, are you a working writer? I feel like you should be with this much focus and drive. Oh and not to mention this entire online course you created! It’s inhuman!! I’d love to just pick your brain man - because I’m on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Can’t focus, bad time management, tons of distractions (reddit) and all the while kicking myself as each month passes faster than the previous one. Anyways another great video as always brother. Take care!
I am not a working writer. I am writing and hoping to get something sold currently. Focus is more about removing distractions rather than it is having internal superhuman focus. Remove distractions from your writing space and be intentional about writing daily. That’s how you finish!
"I need to write something that requires no research - I know! How about a _multi-cultural _*_science fiction_* story!"... - Come on, you know it's funny.
Honestly, given the limitations this guy put on himself, I'm surprised he didn't just accidentally rewrite the first "SAW" movie.
Huh
Agreed. A lot of ppl including me fall into that trap. One location, 2 characters, 48 hours
Yup.... accidentally develops a goofball version of SAW
You fell into a saw trap? Do you now value life?

I’ve been working on a story for five or six years now, I’m going to finally give myself a deadline and get this done. Thank you for this video!
You have not idea how much I enjoyed watch your video. I saw my self and some screenwriter fellows and the struggle that we had being through, sat on our desks during hours, days, months even years, but the feeling is priceless when you have a first draft to show of. I totally recommend as you just did, work on the idea, the structure of the acts, the characters, personalities, conflict, plots, twist, purpose, genre, etc, all this before wasting our time siting in front of our computers, ignorant and naiv about what we want to share with the audience.
Interesting. This past week I jumped back into screenwriting. One thing I never realized before is how important it is to LOVE what you write. I technically wrote 3 shorts this week, but only loved 2 of them. It's good to finish what you start, but it's hard for me to commit to a project if i'm no longer in love with the story or characters. I don't want to completely give up on that other story. But i'm not sure how to proceed.
Since i'm only writing short
Whats your story about?
Tyler you're a genius! That's impressive. I wrote a war script based on a battle and real characters...oh my God! The research alone took me 6 months. I didn't know what I was jumping into. The character biographies alone was about 50 pages! Yikes. You've inspired me! I'm writing a thriller next! My goal? To write it in 48 hours, like you!

Loved this! I have had a movie in my head for years and im finally getting it on paper! You have been a huge help! Thank you, Love your videos! Subscribed!
You're inspiring me to actually write my book I've been planning for years. I keep fixating on getting it perfect the first draft, even if I know it's not supposed to be perfect. This was the push I needed to sit down and write.
I love that a a writer, he made a full story out of him writing a story. The video had a setup, a conflict, a climax(im not a writer so just think of more story terms haha) but it was a great video and I am now here to stay :)
Thank you! This was exactly what I needed to hear. I'm beginning my first, and till now, most ideas have been only in my head. Time to lay them to paper and work towards an outline. I especially found value in your honesty about being hung up on making not your best work, my fears are that what I come up with won't be good enough too. It made me realize a draft doesn't have to be good,it's a draft, just do it.
this video is really inspiring but in case people are feeling down because of it, remember that he was able to do this because of the plot. some stories just take longer. you’re doing great
this is gonna be really helpful...yes i am saying it without seeing the video because i trust this guy.
Tyler I’m so proud of you! I think I will write my feature draft in two days next week!!
Okay, well. Its a right time to say this brother, this video pushed my self esteem on the chair and as I was never done it before, I took a half hour shortfilm to write in 24hrs challenge, i took it very seriously, that I didnt even get off chair for lunch and breakfast. My flatmate bff helped me to arrange it at the place. On the earlier day, I shook my bff's self esteem and challenged him to finish a 700 pages book along me in 24hrs. On first morning I started it at 10.30am and left the table at 1am. Not because I was feeling asleep but I finished the screenplay in first 14.5hrs. I was productive for whole 13hrs and used 1.5hrs for dinner and walk. Had a big smile. It felt great. Woke up at 7am on the next morning and sat on the chair at 9am. And repaired some scene for an hour. That was the end 24hrs, I bff finished the book at 11am. We had favorite food and celebrated the small victory.
I found my mind is willing to take ghe major challenge. On the same day I sat on the table and started to work on a fresh feature film screenplay. I had this Idea previously on my mind but it was very weak. As I was very Confident at that time I decided to convert it into a strong one. Startes to take some points. Then I realised that wasnt enough so I tried to write 3acts in 1a, 1b with help of your another videos, even that wasnt enough so I wrote 60 one liners for each scene. It took me two days. I was productive for 9hrs on the first day, than 4 hrs, then 4, and 3. I was losing. So tried to repeat the challenge by challenging my another friend and it worked for me I was writing for 10hrs that day. Its a 15th day. I have with me, my first shortfilm (above 10 minutes) screenplay including 26 scenes on 24 pages, ready. Along with my first ever feature film first draft with 110 scenes on 96 pages ready.
Its a long journey for me to turn it into the business but the experience I had was must for me and boosted me with a great confidence. Thank You Man Tyler. Pardon my grammar. It did the magic you may have imagined, while making this video. Have shared this video to others. And now, I am just thinking, "which idea should put my finger on and start off my next marathon ;-)"
Thanks for taking us on the journey and your tips. Great work man, kudos from Australia 🇦🇺
YES! I needed this, am 40 pages into my first draft of a script and thought it was stupid to think I could get it done by the end of the week. But now I know I can.
You can! Focus. Remove distractions. And get it done.
this came onto my recommended section and i honestly felt like crying, i needed this so so badly lmao there’s a half-baked story in my head and i have to get it out
This video was exactly what I needed.
Helped me figure out how to break down my ideas into a blueprint style and build it from simplistic to complex.
Wow just finished reading the entire screenplay in one sitting! Unbelievable for a first draft, especially in 48 hours. You sir are very talented
