Probably cause you're stupid.

The call was probably cause in itself I think.

I've been playing around with screenwriting as a hobby for a while now. In the last month I started to write my first feature-length script. I've got three major characters, each with a complete character arc mapped out from start to finish, and I've got the major events planned, but there's a problem. After putting pen to paper (so to speak), my "feature-length" script is roughly 50 pages. Typically a feature of this nature is more like 120 pages (at ~1 minute per page).

Soooo now I'm like, wha'd I do wrong? Is it possible to get to the point too quickly in a story? Am I destined to write for television rather than film? Am I missing some kind of subplot to resolve in Act II?

I lost the motivation to finish it after realizing there was something fundamentally wrong in my structure and pacing for it to be so short.

So I started a duo with a friend of mine, I write the music, she does the vocals. I'm excited about this, she has such a wonderful voice.

I'm a little concerned she won't like my more experimental approach to music. And if you guys contribute again, I feel like she won't like what you all bring to the table. But should be interesting.

Shoot for films. Don't be discouraged enough to settle for television, (even though some TV is good I suppose) and make great films the rest of your life.

Needs either a romantic subplot or a monkey.
