Hi everyone, as it's Introduce Yourself weekend I would like to re-introduce myself.
My name is Adam, I'm a novice screenwriter from Birmingham, UK. I'm currently re-writing my first feature script, a gritty British dramedy which I hope will be in good shape to take along to my first London Screenwriter's Festival in September!
Further to this I'm outlining several other features, one of which I'll start writing this month. I've also been looking to write a low budget short with the aim to see it produced (possibly by myself).
Outside of screenwriting I like to play bass guitar, write songs, watch/play sports, talk about movies, and moan about the weather.
Thank you everyone for being so supportive and welcoming in my short time here thus far!

Enjoy yourself at the London Screenwriter's Festival. I went for the first time last year and it was great!
Thanks Katherine, I'm so excited! If you have any tips or words of wisdom please be sure to let me know :-)
There is an online discussion group for Newbies which has a wealth of useful tips, which you can have access to as soon as you have bought your ticket.
Adam, if you're looking for ways to get your short into production, don't pass on handing it over to a university or college group of cinematographers. They are always looking for contained scripts (one location--and under 10 minutes!).
Hi Katherine, thank you! Will take a look :-)
Hi Lois, thank you too. Thats great advice. I'll let you know how I get on. I'm sure I'll be asking more questions but I'm loving the process already

Hi Adam, I'm from Ottawa, Canada and am excited to be booked, also for the first time to go to LSF in September. All the best with your feature script and maybe I'll see you there.
Hi York. Thank you, it would be great to meet you at LSF.

Hi Adam, that's all really great, would love to go to the conference, but can't, would love to hear all about it.
Hi Rosalind, I'll make sure to let everyone here know about my experience at LSF :-)

You go and make it work for you, Adam.

York, get in touch with Randy Mars, Actor/Producer!
Thanks for the Randy Mars suggestion. I've heard his name locally and will hopefully make contact.
