Looking for Sydney screenwriters to collaborate with

Massive exposure and lots of interest!

Thanks to Stage32 and the Happy Writers, through the pitchfests, I have had 6-7 execs ask to read my trilogy of books (www.childrenofthefifthsun.com). One exec got as far as taking it to his team, but it was turned down (though I have an open door if I write anything else). I also had a general meet...

The few exceptions do not override the general rule. Most people do not go to independent films, but of course occasionally a few will break through. Even so they rarely experience the same level of grosses as the major studio productions.

Hoffman was an actor's actor. If he was in a film, I knew the film would be better because of his presence in it, no matter how small or large the role or the movie. He did it all. Big budget, little...
