has anyone here ever written a screenplay?

I've been thinking about doing it recently. I watch quite a lot of tv/films and have a few ideas but not really sure of the best approach.

I've written 6. They are:
1. Stranded In Paradise (historical fiction)
2. Strung Out (teens and drugs)
3. Tears Of A Clown (horror)
4. Iron Maiden (drama)
5. Wetland (drama)
6. Diamondback (crime drama)

The one that came the closest to being produced was Tears Of A Clown.

Oh. I forget you asked about 'the approach.' Stories are written backwards, that is, you already know the ending and now just have to find a way to navigate your way towards that. You can choose a perspective from which to tell it. Specific techniques like character arcs, etc can be learned online.

cool, thanks.
