Life of a screenwriter.

The end of high school and the beginning of a new life.

Just finished high school and now wondering what to do next.

Choice 1 : Go to film school and learn a bunch of stuff that might be useful for my scripts.

Choice 2 : Why go to school when I have a killer script right here. Hollywood here I come.

First day at School.

After, becoming a student at Toronto Film School a couple of months ago. I now realize how expensive it is.

Freelancing second month.

Moved to Hollywood, presented my killer script to a couple of different studios but got declined by everyone of them. No worries I can always write something else.

Choice 1 : Write another script and hope it's good enough.

School 6th month.

After taking out a student loan, I no longer worried about not being able pay for my studies. Now I can focus on writing good scripts and shooting movies. I made a couple of friends and started to really enjoy life. I was given a pretty big assignment that I had to hand over tomorrow. But at the same time my classmate were organizing a party.

Choice 1 : Finish my assignment

Choice 2 : Go to the party

Freelancing year 1.

I underestimated the job, it's been a year since I came to Hollywood and none of my scripts have been accepted. I should have gone to school. I wish I could restart.

Choice 1 : restart

Post graduation.

After graduating with a spotless record, I decide to move to Hollywood and try pitching my scripts to as many studios as possible. I quickly receive a lot of call backs asking to buy my scripts.

Choice 1 : Sell script to Warner Brothers

Choice 2 : Sell script to Lionsgate

Unable to continue, restart.

After finding a job to pay for my studies I realize that I lack the fundamentals of time management and I find myself unable to do both at the same time.

Choice 1 : restart from the beginning

Failed class.

By choosing to go to the party I didn't have enough time to complete my assignment which caused me to fail my class. I should have just studied.

Choice 1 : restart
