Welcome to my humble, little, shamelessly self-promoting website. 
The original Robert de Villiers site was created in 1999 when I began to write feature-length screenplays. In those early days of online screenwriting, there were only about 25 writers listed under "Aspiring Screenwriters" on the Yahoo! directory; today there are hundreds.

The Early Days of this Site
My first venture into screenwriting was a script called Y2K - The Millennium Bug. I can thank Chris O'Donnell for ruining my chances of a sale, because of his similar themed project which never got off the ground. That script did help me to find an agent, Anna Piazza or Chadwick & Gros Literary Agency. Anna and I had a fantastic learning relationship, and she nurtured my writing through two screenplays, one of which, Savanna, is featured on this site. After three years Anna and I parted ways and we are still good friends to this day.

What are You doing Now?
I am currently in my final year of University, studying for a BSc in Computer Science and Psychology. My next step is to get into a production company and start learning the ropes of the movie-making industry. Ultimately, there is a Director's chair with my name on it and a few critically-acclaimed films in the can ... but all good things come in time.

You create Software for Writers?
Through my company Scene-2-Screen Software, I have created two applications for Windows users. Alias is character names generator with the largest database of first name and surnames of any similar product. Write That Down! was created for anyone working in the entertainment or writing industries. It is an all-inclusive submission tracker, projects database, contacts database, income/expenses database ... the list goes on. WTD! is now for sale at The Writers Super Center and (for the time-being) includes Alias as a free added extra.

I have started a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section of this site to deal with the many questions I am asked pertaining to screenwriting. Also, take a detour over to my Screenwriting Articles, which have been posted on The Screenwriters Forum
