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.
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.
I think what is so great about these "feedback" requests is that it gives the writer more options in wording and ideas on how to refine things a bit. Also having strangers with no idea about the scrip...
Expand commentI think what is so great about these "feedback" requests is that it gives the writer more options in wording and ideas on how to refine things a bit. Also having strangers with no idea about the script (what a potential producer will be) giving honest feedback. Every producer will be looking for something different and come from a different background, so getting a variety of opinions is great - even if you don't change it at all. At least it's given you something different to think about. Everyone's opinions matter, because the logline should suck the reader in, producer or not.
Ami, I think you're right. It also provides insight into process. If writers started with the logline, and polished the basis of their story until the logline crackled before writing the screenplay, i...
Expand commentAmi, I think you're right. It also provides insight into process. If writers started with the logline, and polished the basis of their story until the logline crackled before writing the screenplay, it would result in much less rewriting and much better stories. We tend to do it the other way around, and only find out after the screenplay is written while struggling with the logline, that maybe the conflict should have been more compelling and immediate.
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 know what would make an awesome twist to your story - if the woman's meth dealer turned out to be the one that murdered her brother (or caused the murder in some way) and when she finds that our, it could tip her over the edge to come clean finally. :-) I love your story, just from the logline a...

Best of luck with it!
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.
Cool- would love to read it, see it when it's done! :-)
Hi Chris, what type of screenplay are you searching for, or interested in?
Chris, I'm here in Atlanta, if you're still in need. Would love to help. Let me know.
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.
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.
Thx for your request. Write me up... er, ah, in. Write me in! :0) PEACE!

Expand postJust discovered this site today, and it looks like I've found "my people." It seems to be a great, supportive community here. I live in the Atlanta area. I recently self-published a novel, and my co-author and I are currently shopping the screenplay adaptation. I am also looking for employment in the film/TV industry in the Atlanta area, either as a writer or in some administrative capacity. Heck, I'll do anything in the industry, to be honest. Just looking to get my foot in the door somewhere and be paid for what I love.
