OWA 0392 - The Ride of My Life

My faith based screenplay THE RIDE OF MY LIFE (OWA 0392) is moving forward and is being submitted to the producer who posted this! (Am I in the correct lounge?)

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Elise Marenson.

Gloria Katch

Glad to hear some positive news especially this time of year. Congrats Elise.! I like the catchy title. "Faith based" almost sounds like its own genre. Can you tell us how your script qualifies in this category?

Leonardo Ramirez

How awesome Elise Marenson

Jim Boston

Elise, that's great news about "The Ride of My Life!" Here's wishing you more and more success!

David Henderson

Seeking Feedback: Original Score for "The Green Mile"

Hello Stage 32 community,

I'm excited to share a piece of music I composed specifically for one of the most emotional scenes in The Green Mile. This scene holds a special place in the hearts of many, and I aimed to create music that amplifies its emotional depth and humanity.

Kevin Gamble

Your music is beautiful! But I feel it is too busy for a scene like this. The music should be more minimalistic, and I would never use chimes for such a dark and dismal scene. Less is more here, and should be darker, less orchestration.

Feature Film Slate

I’ve gotten the ball rolling on a package to finance a feature film slate. Any thoughts on how I should approach distribution? Timing? Suggestions?

Stephen Folker

You'd approach distribution when the film is complete and ready to distribute.

Versions?

Hi everyone, hope you had a productive November. Was wondering, since there's a good chance I'll have to rewrite Finding Elpis as a TV series rather than sticking solely to film (yay lore expansion!), has anyone else done so as well? Written the same story but in more than one version? How easy/diff...

Go where your energy leads you. There's no harm with expanding your world, if that's what excites you to write. Try to worry about format later.

Göran Johansson

Dear Banafsheh, nice that you liked what I wrote. There is a point with writing several version. First write the version which takes least time (epistolary short story perhaps). When you know that ver...
