Screenwriting : Calling attention to your screenplay based on an existing franchise via GoFundMe? by Kamala Lane

Calling attention to your screenplay based on an existing franchise via GoFundMe?

This is pretty unusual - an aspiring writer who wants to convince Hollywood to produce his script for the next installment of Wayne's World. It seems to me as though there are many things wrong with this tactic, but could such tenacity pay off? Or is this too "short-cutty?" http://bit.ly/1RHaPDG

Poor Rupert Pupkin - I mean, Trevor Schindeler. I started a GoFundMe account for his legal defense, and already raised $12,000, but since they don't have any jails in socialist Canada, I'll probably just keep the money instead.

Nothing wrong with wanting to be king for a day.

Dan Guardino

The only guy that is dumber than this guy are the few that actually donated money.

I kinda feel for him cuz he seems clueless but at the same time it's pretty simple to find info on how to break in and network. What gets me is that he has spent over 20 years on characters he didn't create and rights that aren't his, but didn't write original scripts???

On the other hand it makes me wonder if the attention he's getting suddenly with bloggers writing about it and ppl tweeting it - could that work in his favor?

I'm starting to think Kamala is his agent. And to think, I was gonna split the $12,000 with her.

Bahahaha! Nah I was never the no-shame type
