<p>This is what happens when I write messages at 1:30 a.m. I'm awake now, so I'll try again. :-)</p>
<p>Where online could we find screenplays that others have written and my son could use as a basis for a film?</p>
<p>I have done some searching, and I can find sites where you can download screenplays of "your favorite movies and t.v. shows" and sites to help you sell your screenplays, but I can't seem to find out how to buy one or (hopefully) get one for free.</p>
<p>Our son's interest is more in the actual filmmaking rather than the screenwriting, but he seems to think you have to do it all. I'm not discouraging him from working on screenwriting, but I just don't want him to get bogged down with the screenplay and never get around to working on actual filmmaking.</p>
<p>He'd like to work on some short films, and I was thinking <em>surely</em> there are short screenplays out there that haven't been produced. I'd think the writers would be willing to let him produce their screenplay in exchange for the screenwriter credit in the film. That way, if our son should win a prize at a film festival, that's a feather in the screenwriter's cap as well. </p>
<p>I found sites where they'd give you a short synopsis of the story, then you had to pay to buy the screenplay. Well, I'm not going to pay for a screenplay I haven't read! That would be foolish.</p>
<p>So, if anyone knows where I might find what I'm looking for, I'd love to hear about it!</p>
