Wil Crown's Lounge Discussions

Haven't done it yet but I assume you can contact admin on this site for info on what went wrong if it was a pitch service from Stage 32

I never heard anything after I sent my pitch to Wil Deasey. Did he get it? Did he read it? Did it go through? Took my money and then nothing.

Hi Eva Montealegre It's Jason over at Stage 32. I am sorry for the lack of communication from Will. We are going to work to get you set up with another executive of your choice. Contact us at Writerhelp@stage32.com and we will work with you on that. Apologies again!

I am a big believer of the coverage services here. I've had calls and meetings with 2 execs from it and it dramatically improved my work. Most important thing is to not get discouraged!

Man, I’m also working on an important historical story that needs told. We should definitely connect and collaborating Sterling. Are you in LA or elsewhere?

I got coverage through Coverfly, though I did a good job making three addtional revisions to my original draft, and I cut 16 pages off the original script. I also was clueless to how expensive to this could be monthly. You literally need and extra $300-500 to make a meaningful impact in my opinion.

My problem with those services is that you don't have any clue who's reading your script and you can't ask them questions. That's why I use the services here. That's how I got the meetings also. Big fan.

Agree with Derek Reid! Great attitude!

You’ll do it Derek! Where are you based out of?

Absolutely right! Quite difficult to go from author to screenwriter, or vice versa. Habits of one style or the other tend to stick and inadvertently carry over to one style or the other. This generally does not sit well with execs.

I have simply been screenwriting, including non fiction book adaptation.

I am still currently aspiring as I have not sold any work. However I have spent the past three years learning and developing a strictly screenwriting style of writing.

I currently submitted my first but not only work to the National Lampoon contest, fingers crossed.

In short, I would be quite happy to help you with any formatting notes within my realm of screenwriting knowledge, and good luck to you sir.

Many screenwriters here! You'll love this place. Sent you an invite!

That’s awesome Tommy! I’m curious, as a screenwriter, do you find that the festival success has opened many doors for you? And if so, how?

I'm a little short, but I'm happy to be connected!

Very cool Marie... where are you based out of?

I've never done sketch, but I am a screenwriter among other things. Sent an invite!
