Allan Drake’s Space Shifter Casey is a Blogger’s attempt to Make it onto the Big-Screen.

Working Title: Space Shifter Casey
A screenplay by Allan Drake (24 yr old)

Description:
Casey is pulled into mortal danger when his “greedy mad scientist” father, Storrga, creates a new power-suit that will take the occupant into another dimension. Casey must carry the burdens of his father and believe in his new friends while on the run in the post-apocalyptic society: The Fruit Core. A wave of darkness is on the horizon when brutal renegades emerge to try to unlock the power of that suit for themselves and a great nation is at risk. Can Casey stop them from gaining ultimate control? Sometimes the only thing you can do is run.

Every once and awhile I like to try something new. As you can see, I haven’t been writing about synthesizers consistently. Thats because I’ve been working nonstop the past couple of days to finish this story that I had started almost 6 months ago. Space Shifter Casey, originally called “Space Shifters” is my first screenplay, and your seeing my first finished draft, errors and all. It is a political thriller set in the future with mild scifi elements. I intend to see this on the big screen or at least on the scifi channel very soon. For a 24 year old writer, this would be my dream. It is a movie about an idealistic young teen who ends up with a piece of high technology that disrupts the power balance of two nations. Throughout his journey, he finds love, new friends, and new beliefs that he protects with his life. The setting for the script, the Fruit Core, is not your everyday post-apocalyptic society. It is one that, while diminished in population size from disease and war, emerges out of the ashes to become a technological, political paradise of hope. I wrote this out of frustration with the current government, and hope someday that people will be able to believe again. Believe in people like Casey.

This is an exclusive, only for bloggers to look at. You can read it here:

  3. Some notes on formatting - gleaned from reading the first few pages. Not to be preachy, but I’ve written quite a few screenplays and I’m just trying to help your work come off as professional.

    * Don’t capitalize CHARACTERS in action description after the first time they’re introduced. That’s just a standard formatting. In fact, in action description, capitals should be reserved for (a) character introductions, (b) sound cues, or (c) absolutely amazing events and/or thrilling action. Otherwise, go easy on the caps - it’s the mark of amateurism.

    * Ellipses (…) in dialogue is only to be used when a character trails off - at the end of their dialogue. Not in the middle, to indicate pauses. If there needs to be a significant pause in dialogue, insert either a parenthetical action…

    (long pause)

    or some kind of action description…

    * Avoid using “wrylies” - parenthetical comments in dialogue to indicate how it should be presented. The “joking” and “wryfully” should be inherent in the dialogue itself. Don’t tell the actors how to play your scene - write the scene so it can only be played the way you envision it. If the intended meaning isn’t in the words of the dialogue or in the actions surrounding it, don’t add it with parenthetical comments - rewrite the scene to make it clear.

    * All scene headings (and I mean all actual scene headings, not inter-shots within a scene) should begin with INT. or EXT. This is an absolute must.

    * Avoid using things like “MIDDAY” in scene headings. If the time of day is extremely important to the action, perhaps…

    Other than that, you’re on your way. You may want to fix the alignment of your parenthetical dialogue comments - they should be to the left of the character name, not to the right.

    For a formatting guide, I suggest finding the Red Book. I don’t have it handy at the moment to tell you the actual title, but it is a large (8.5″ x 11″) red paperback book about screenplay formatting (and just about screenplay formatting) - useful in making one’s script appear to be professionally written.

    Good luck on this!

  4. thanks Mibrilane. I didn’t know I had that many things wrong with the format. I will see what else I can do.
