Is anyone attending Coachella weekend #2? Would be fun to read your impressions. For the rest of us I'm curious to read feedback regarding how you're marketing your stories/ scripts... With whom, and why! And do share any accolades you've earned in 2026!

Hi Michael A. Clement ! wishing you continued success! cheers
Hey — quick note for screenwriters.
Been getting a few script requests lately.
One thing that made a difference: cutting a short mood reel before pitching.
I’m a video editor, so I tried it on my own script — just tone and rhythm.
If anyone’s curious to try it, feel free to reach out.
Sizzle reels can be great sales tool. But make sure we can follow a story. This is a bit long as a tonal reel.
Hey Alex Gutenberg - thanks for posting! I concur with Geoff and will also suggest that using such recognizable actors in the mood reel also risks taking the viewer out of the story you want to tell....

Thank you for everything you do for this community, Timothy! Sounds like the 3 P's framework is something every actor should have on their wall. What's the most common mistake you see actors make when they first start out?

I am Dave. A storyteller of all genres and formats. On IYW, it is time to make connections like the characters in all of our creations do. Happy writing.
Hi David Dicaire - thanks for jumping in on the IYW! I am curious - what have you found most challenging and what have you found most satisfying writing across such different genres? cheers...

Hello Sebastian Tudores. Thanks for the positive feedback. The challenging part is to be able to switch gears going from thriller to horror to comedy The most satisfying part is being able to adapt from one genre to another. Cheers!
