Lucie Mayer-Wegelin: Screenwriter, filmmaker and dancer in Frankfurt Am Main, Germany.

going to a party where there's that ONE PERSON you wish to avoid.

A daily reminder that there is an and instead of an end . https://www.stage32.com/profile/873575/photos#2834589862387000858

Driving a car at high speed, not caring if the brakes are gonna work when you drive down-hill.

Thanks for the shout-outs! They are inspiring me to keep going!

Good for you! May many more wins come your way!

Congratulations on winning! Much success to you.

There’s a reason why you wait all your life for that career-breaking phone call that never comes. Because, nobody knows who you are. You have to put yourself out there. Make mistakes? Yes we all do. Write stuff? Yes, and then write some more. And while you are doing that, build your network. And as you may have realised, yes, don’t wait for that phone call all your life…

Thanks for the Black List scripts link, Dan MaxXx.

Sorta was couple months ago when I was offered a job...tough part is I now gotta do it...but the thing is that after the "discovery" always comes "expectations" and I'm not sure I'm up to it on long tracks...I'm pretty simple and modest guy, just pay me my fees and provide me my Academy Award and I'll be off...

There is more than one person named Paul Abramson in this world! This story involves another real Paul Abramson not you! You have no legal basis for your demand which is denied! Stop writing here because what you are saying is complete nonsense

FYI We recently did a massive rewrite of the script and it is now a master piece and Oscar worthy if we can ever get it made!

Then I wish us both good luck.

The Hitman's Bodyguard. I love the action mixed with humour. How disgusted the bodyguard (played by Ryan Reynolds) was in that scene where the hitman smashes the window of the car... Ahhh, the reaction of his bodyguard was fabulously timed. I can't wait for 'The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard', ' Free Guy', and 'Red Notice'. I live in Germany so I have to wait longer for the movies to come out here but the wait makes it even better.

I really love Three Identical Strangers as a title, it really gets the intrigue going. I also love the title Under The Silver Lake. Haven't watched it and it sounds like it's not a great film, but there's something really beautiful about the poetry of the words, almost Dylan Thomas-esque..

Robert Rodriguez's "100 Years" starring John Malkovich and set to be released in 2115...

Tagline's even better: "The movie you will never see"

Some actor are super charismatic, no doubt. Gerry Butler for me. He could read a phone book - I am in. There is a UK limited series “Dark Angel” about the UKs first female serial killer. She doesn’t have a nice side. No killing people, while looking after a sick mum. She just kills people and manipulates men using sex. She is horrible and compelling. The book “Save the Cat” gets its name from that concept. You can have a bad guy, but you have to make him save a cat in a tree, so people will like him.

This may have been (somewhat true in the 80’s), but people are more complex in their desire for stories.

People can be super bad as long as they are the hero in their own story. This makes their actions logical. People will live with a bad logic person all day. IMO.

Thanks for the insight Craig D Griffiths

I don't know why the word stereotype was coined, every time I saw this thread I felt as far as we are concerned here, it might be good to distinguish some of these stereotypes as monotypes — so trying to define them as those that flat out don't have depth, serve no narrative purpose, just a cheap laugh, a checkbox, or a quota. Works?

I too am relatively new as a director. I think for me it is my ability to be open. Though I have my own vision I also realize that seeing through another's eyes can widen my own vision. The ability to creatively fluid has helped me more times than I can count.

I don’t know what it’s like now but over 10 years ago a a long time industry director and friend told me as an actor on screen or stage the best thing I can do is what the director says.

He said until actors are known and liked with a lot of experience and are really wanted they should do the part as directed. If you have an idea (or a problem) talk to the director before acting on it but don’t necessarily expect them to listen every time.

I would like to think I would hear the actor out and take the time to explain why my answer is no if I said no. I hope I would make them feel heard and that their ideas are valued.

OK

Sam Chambliss, I could definitely need a cinematographer like that: someone who's got my back, and can entertain the stream of my imagination, hahaha * a serious look falls upon her face*... Weather changing abilities would be wicked, I agree!

I'm not sure this is in a movie, because I don't watch a lot of action/sci-fi, but I have this dream sometimes to control objects people are holding by reaching out my hand, and tightening the muscles in my arm, and seem to for example knock a cup out of someones hands. It seemed fun in my dreams, so that is what I would want haha! I would certainly use it for good reasons too, but that is my 2 cents.

Kevin Gamble , very cool! That would be a useful skill for playing a prank on someone, too.

Ooo, great find, Lucie Mayer-Wegelin! THank you for sharing!

Very cool to see post production houses doing good work! always fun to see the behind the scenes. And dang those people must be busy as heck, that's a lot of shows at a very high level.

Very intriguing aspect of film making! 20 + artists, wow, I would love to see the entire process from scratch.

Congratulations, Andrew! Way to go!

This post reminds me of that old Annie Hall joke- you know, a guy walks into a psychiatrist's office and says, hey doc, my brother's crazy! He thinks he's a chicken. Then the doc says, why don't you turn him in? Then the guy says, I would but I need the eggs.

Hey, Andrew. First of all, congratulations! Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I am on a path of discovering myself in a new way. I do martial arts to, gently, get the doubting out of my mind. It is incredible how I feel and look when I practice Wing Tsun and Escrima (stick fighting). Lol, it makes me almost believe there is more to me than just living the life of a human being, hahaha.

Does anyone know when the studios/streamers pick up your project, so I can go to the beach? :)

Hope everything goes well Jerry

You're several steps ahead of me.

Jerry, thank you so much for those kind words and SO happy to hear how you're progressing! :)
