Welcome to the Silm Film Project Script Writing Team! We welcome contributions from anyone who is interested in participating here. So, how do you get involved?
Everyone is welcome to participate here on the forums when episodes are discussed. Update: We're currently in Season 6. Watch the Season 6 subforum for announcements from our script editor Nick Palazzo of when Script Discussions for each episode will be held.
But...there are still opportunities for script writing available on an ongoing basis!
Seasons 1-3 of Silm Film have been planned to the point of Episode Outlines, but with only a few exceptions, these episodes have not yet been turned into scripts. So, I would like to give everyone involved in the project the opportunity to 'claim' an episode, and try your hand at writing a script for it! At a minimum, it is expected that potential script writers would listen to the Silm Film Session discussing that episode to see what the Exec Team had planned or intended, and then to base the script on the Outline provided for that episode here in this forum. If possible, it would likely be a good idea to listen to the Script Discussion for that episode as well (be aware that such discussions are often about 4 hours long).
So, how does that work? Post here, laying claim to an episode. Your claim will last for a year and a day, and can be renewed if you are still working on the script for that episode. In other words - no deadline pressure! Create a script document using Google Docs, and (when you are ready to share) post it on the relevant episode's script discussion thread. You may share the link as 'read only,' or allow others to comment on your google doc, so that other people involved in the project can leave notes on your script. Try to follow standard screenplay format.
If you would like to take part, but don't want to start with an entire episode, feel free to collaborate with someone to be co-authors on a script!
Completed scripts that follow the guidelines of the project and the established episode outline will then be passed along from the Script Team to the Exec Team (Corey, Trish, and Dave) for review as Silm Film scripts at some point in the future!
I hope this is a way to allow people to get involved in Script Writing here without the pressure of a deadline, and I hope that (eventually) we will have completed scripts for all episodes of the Silmarillion Film Project!
