Distributor: So, what do you have? Filmmaker: I have this great idea for a film. Distributor: I'm not going to offer you a distribution deal based on your Powerpoint presentation or your three-minute sizzle. I need to know that you can execute. Filmmaker: But I was told that I shouldn't make my film...

My Apollo13 story

In 1990 I was living in Chicago and took a screenwriting class. At the end of the four-week course, we got to pitch a studio executive. I got a chance to pitch a studio executive from Disney Studios. I pitched him the story of Apollo 13. I grew up during the space program and knew the story inside a...

Wow - powerful stuff! Both the feedback, and the bounce back! If The Queen's Gambit took 30 years to produce, then your script can find legs. Besides, you can absolutely have a script where people kno...

The reader's job is to say what works, what doesn't work, and offer suggestions for improving the manuscript. So what is the manuscript about? This is a full length work...

Branching out into prose - go "legit" or self-publish?

I'll start this off with a bit of a confession - I've been trying to stretch my writing muscles and develop short stories, novels, etc. Currently I've been pitching my novelette and received two rejections (from major publishers, one online and one print) with nice notices.

Thanks for the new replies! I'd been away for a bit, seeing family and such. I'll keep people posted on the progress for the novelette. I chose that form, or rather, the project emerged as that form,...

Create the product, stream forever. My biggest need right now is for a like-minded cinematographer/editor. You can learn more about t...

I'm working on a long term (two to three years) book/documentary project. I am in the research phase right now. I have been videotaping my interviews.

Karen, I'm still trying to work that out. I might abandon the documentary side of this project because of cost. I might hire a videographer at each location where I conduct an interview. I might try t...
