I am not sure if this is allowed but I have a draft of a pilot that I wrote and want to know where I need to tighten it up and what's working and what isn't. I actually would love to share this with a few writers and get their feedback. If you have any interest in helping out I'd appreciate it.

Jared, I'm in the Springfield area, I'd be glad to look at your pilot. I'm also a member of a writing group down in Chatham. We meet the first Tuesday of every month, on Zoom now of course. Some of them might also be willing to take a look.

Ryan Anzaldi

Yeah, send it on over if you'd like, but I'd also recommend a great site called Coverfly. There's a section on it where you can submit your stuff for feedback from other writers, and also review their works as well. It's totally free, too!

Foreign/arthouse/midnight movies

Do we have any other fans of foreign/arthouse/midnight movies? The early films of John Waters sent me down this road, and Taskashi Miike's "Visitor Q" continues to be an inspiration in my writing.

William Martell

Yes. I saw VISITOR Q at a film festival where I was a jury member, and loved it. Full of "you can't do that in a movie!" moments. It was my #2 film, and in the jury room a fairly famous actress almost...

Sure, Lynch (but only early works), von Trier, Gerald Kargl, even Haneke to some point...

John Waters is great - I also love Delicatessen, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, a French dark comedy.

GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE:

When a tough, gay, gangbanger is forced to plot a murder to prove her loyalty to their homophobic leader, only the love of an outsider can give her the courage to take a stand against sexual violence and make it out alive?
