Hi everyone,
I know many of us writers feel that screenplays should convey a message to the populous to either bring something to the forefront to encourage discussion or to give a suggestion on how to help fix a problem, etc. (Some writers do not feel this way, but most of the writers I know and have talked to feel a message is important in a script)
So I wanted to ask those here to let us know what message you have in a script you have written or would like to put into one that isn't written yet.
I'll start...I have a script written that deals with military vets and ptsd and the fact that many cannot get the help they need. (I worked with vets in the past and learned some stuff from them and their stories) I feel it is a shame to ask people to go fight for us/this country and then when they get hurt (physically and/or mentally) they come back and are almost just thrown away. Not everyone, but many. I know it is getting better to some degree but there is a lot of room for improvement.
So what message and/or subject is your passion to get out there?
