Does anyone work in nursing, or know someone who works in nursing? I need to pick someone's brain about procedures and the profession.

You too, Bobby.

LOGLINE: Jasmine Absolute

Here is the logline for our just-completed screenplay, Jasmine Absolute. Would you request this script? We'd welcome your feedback, please. A young African-American ad exec’s life spins out of control, and she must overcome her resulting meth addiction--and its tragic consequences--if she is to open a community center honoring her slain brother.

Alle, it seems like in the time it took you to read a 1000 bad scripts you could have written a couple good ones yourself ready for production this year, instead of waiting for something that looks like may never come your way. Make your own destiny happen, that's what I'm doing. :-)

You are very much on the right track, Ami. Without giving it away, that's not EXACTLY what happens, but it's very, VERY close.

Ami Brown

Virtual Pitchfest?

Has anyone had any experience with VPF? It purports to connect writers with actual industry professionals for possible representation or sale of their scripts. We've got a few pitches left on our current run. Just wondering about others' take on this service, and any positive/negative experiences.

Angela Page

I have used VPF. It contains specific needs and wants by Producers,Managers and Agents. You can also research before you select. Normally I get 10-20% success rate for script requests.

Benjie Anderson

Thx for your request. Write me up... er, ah, in. Write me in! :0) PEACE!
