EDITORIAL SEPTEMBER 2004

S ome people believe that a scriptwriter is someone, lazily lying in his deck chair in front of a lighten swimming pool, who watches impassively smoke rings coming out of his cigar waiting for the visit of goddess inspiration.
Some assure that a scriptwriter is a lymphatic small creature - pale from the torturing isolation of his four walls, that keeps pounding furiously on his typewriters' keyboard at times when the normal people sleep peacefully. There are, finally, some that talk about an immaterial creature, with mussy hair, gazing crazily from the blow of inspirational heat. Someone that chews pencils believing that the time of recognition has finally arrived. He will finally see his name on the screen double the size of that of the director's.

Whichever description you prefer, never forget one thing, surly we are talking about someone who, before everybody else, fantasizes and writes down a world completely invisible from every body else, thus, initializing the adventurous creation of a play for the small or the big screen.

WELCOME to the web site of the Greek Scriptwriters Guild, a place to talk and learn. The reason for creating such a place was the necessity to bring forth our work as well as the necessity to record and discuss the problems of our profession. We hope that this place will evolve to a venue not only for the members of our Guild but for everybody involved in the writing skill and in the audiovisual enterprises.

More... on screen!
