Short film creators group

Is anyone in the San Diego area interested?

Carmen Smith

I just moved here and would like to connect with like-minded others who are serious about getting together to create short drama, horror, and thriller films (no-budget) to further our careers.

Suzanne Bronson

Hi Carmen. A great way to meet fellow creatives in your area is to start a monthly in person Stage 32 meet up. I suggest looking at the meetups tab for ideas. you'll see there's other ones happening....

Frader-Day

As I sit here on a Friday, transitioning into Saturday,

(Friday + Saturday = Frader-day).

I find myself reflecting on the implications of our upcoming shot weekend and the reality of what we refer to as a another.

"Frader-day." which begins late on Friday and extends into Saturday morning, often lea...

I see Potential

I see potential in many things, and how content can go. Like with Disney, I have ideas that could take things to the next level. Like how American Dragon: Jake Long and the High School Musical franchise could help influence kids away from gangs, drugs, and ADJL getting spin-offs; and that some of th...

All great thoughts, Kevin Hager; love your enthusiasm! But the truth is those who are running the show, if they're looking at all, are looking for writers with "It", not potential. There are so many s...

Say, Sydney, don't mean to be off-topic, but, where are you from? Me? I'm from Chicago, IL, and I'm seeking out a local someone who knows a thing, or two, about local pro-Bono, or nonprofitable organizations.

Copyright and Artificial Intelligence
This consultation seeks views on how the government can ensure the UK's legal framework for AI and copyright supports the UK creative industries and AI sector together.
Maurice Vaughan

I agree with you, Geoff Hall. The right way of looking at this should be predicated on whether or not the developers have any rights whatsoever, to use someone else's copyrighted material. The develop...

Color Blind.

I've been following this Conversation for months now and decided to write something out that sums up my feelings on the Subject.

Maurice Vaughan

Powerful statement, Eric C. Jackson! And true! We would be a much better society. I'd like to see movies and shows about this. I might write one.

How to Sell Your Screenplay To Netflix

Has anyone here sold their screenplay to Netflix or know of anyone in your circle that has?

Kevin Hager

Two questions

1. Is the person really Emma Watson?

2. Is there a way to sell to Disney+?

Contributions

I want to make contributions to the media that had an impact on my childhood, like Disney and The Simpsons, Marvel, and Star Wars. Among other things, that is why I think of my ideas for Disney as gifts to them. Please, if anyone can help me, please do.

Thank you for your time.

Disney Jobs

One reason I would love to work with Disney is because they are an inspiration to me. I have ideas that would be a benefit to their company and their outreach to the community, like helping victims of abuse and shelters, and raise awareness of issues like bullying, harassment, relationship/domestic...

I'd like to work with Disney too. I also have an idea for a fantasy blockbuster starring a princess. I hope we will succeed.

Kevin Hager

I wish there was a program, or an agency, that would help people like us work with Disney.

Jed Power

I would like to work with anybody good!

How to Find Work as a Production Assistant

Traditional crew positions on Hollywood sets are not advertised, they are found through relationships and networking. To become an employed PA requires patience, diligence, and personal organization. To acquire jobs in the movie business is an amorphous process with no right way to do it and no two...

Bart Simpson

I once had this idea for a Simpson comic or short: Bart vs. Krampus, where Krampus tries to take or claim Bart Simpson, but in the vein of a classic Bugs Bunny cartoon Bart always gets the better of Krampus who ends up on his luck.

How can I share this with the producers of The Simpsons?

Stephen Folker

Major studios like this typically do not accept unsolicited pitches. While your ideas might be incredible, submitting them directly is unlikely to lead to any opportunities. Instead, consider focusing on developing and refining your own original work.

Mike Boas

Sounds great, just ditch Bart and create your own irascible 10-year-old boy. You don’t need it to be Simpsons related.
