I'm thinking about writing an original screenplay based on events I've actually experienced, or, alternately, events I've dreamed up myself (some call it "fiction," I believe), then trying to get it made into an original movie, which will represent my own artistic view/vision of the world around me and my experience of the human condition. I know, cliche; even so, it seems like other people have done this, I am almost positive, but I need the advice of strangers in an internet forum before I proceed with my own life and dreams, etc.
is this a good idea or should I just glom onto existing efforts by established artists with actual talent and hope my name gets swept up in their already profitable works? please advise, mjp. I am careful to "focus group" my life, just in case I am on the wrong track.
also, I am not an asshole. I do not own a cigar, but have a friend who will lend me the money for one, if you think I need one.
