My goodness what a process. I’m on my third totally different version of the plot. I think I’m finally on to something as it blends the best of the first two. I’m trying to gather information and examples of how to write a dream/nightmare in a screenplay.
I use 3 by 5 cards as recommended by […]
I love TUT’s messages (www.TUT.com). The one this AM had a link to an audio clip. In the audio clip Mike Dooley talks about how we feel often as if there is something wrong with us. (Yes, that’s me from time to time.) That we feel we are doing something wrong and hit glass walls […]
Well, I’ve asked the Universe for a clear sign. So far nothing.
I’ve decided based on the advice of numerous mentors to write a love letter to the Universe clearly stating my desires. Saying “Yes” to this new path and saying “NO!” to some other opportunities the Universe has deemed I need to respond to.
I’m also […]
In the film business a concept statement is called a Logline. Newly minted…
A man, avenging the woman he loves, uncovers a conspiracy so corrupt, that if revealed will destroy the Catholic Church.
The reaction so far is GREAT.
I’m stuck again and feeling badly about myself and my work. I’m human! I have submitted my original screenplay to all of the other competitions but Sundance. It is due to them in 10 days.
I met with my son, Connor, on Friday (He’s in film school and just landed his first PAID role in a […]
I’m back on top of the world. Sundance just emailed me and based on the ‘agent’s recommendation they have invited me to send my entire screenplay directly to them. I live for deadlines and this one is September 1st.
I’m continuing to work in a vacumn. Some days go well and some don’t. This is a humbling experience for me. Taking risks are hard.
It’s one thing to talk about it, encouraging others and it’s another thing altogether when it’s you out there on the line. No matter what it is important for me to […]
It is about time. I got back a great review with the exception that the middle is slow (I already knew that).
This helps me as I was beginning to get quite down on myself over the story. OK, now I have direction.
I’m SO excited I can hardly stand it. The Hollywood Agent who thought my story too controversial for them wrote Sundance recommending that they read my script. Sundance said YES!
Today is an awesome day!
Well, I’ve decided to enter RECLAIM into several key screenplay competitions. Many of the really good ones like Sundance have already closed their submission deadlines for this year. I’m entering Final Draft, Zoetrope, Slamdance and Champion. All of these have great reputations. Some offer money, some only connections and some, like Sundance, a fellowship to […]
