Hi Dom, I'm currently looking for Directing jobs (as well as other roles) - my last production was a similar budget to yours so that's not a constraint - please see www.survivorfilms.com for some examples of my film, Arkham Sanitarium and do get in touch if I can be of help. Regards, Andrew....

There's no specific criteria for the projects I'll consider - short films are probably best since I don't want to tie myself up on any long-term projects (I have those of my own!) but if you're working on something neat and you could use a little help, feel free to get in touch and I'll see if I can do anything to help. UK resident film-makers works best for me (I like to meet the people I'm working with) but for digital stuff, there's no reason I couldn't do it for you irrespective of where you are geographically. Services offered: Screenwriting, Scheduling, Set Design and Dressing, Casting, Directing, Lighting, Camera-work, Editing, Computer-Generated Visual FX For some examples of my stuff, either see my profile or my company website at www.survivorfilms.com Don't be shy! If you need some help in any of these areas get in touch :^) All the best, Andrew G. Morgan Writer/Director Survivor Films Ltd.

Andrew, keep me in mind (at least) as I will be needing something. A story that was a one-page email has now filled a 1" binder and is quickly expanding. Although it's a true story, it will need direction. It's fascinating!
Thanks for getting in touch Rick - sure - I'd love to find out more about your project when you're ready :)
Hi Derrick, is there any way for us to keep screenplays restricted to members of this site? I noticed that you can access (and save) my screenplay without being logged in - I don't mind sharing it with Stage 32 members but I don't necessarily want it freely available to the public. Cheers, Andrew.

I can't do it for free but I'm interested in any proposals and in any length from shorts to features. For an example of my work, see the screenplay for Arkham Sanitarium and if you have any questions, please get in touch. Andrew.
Hey Andrew, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here.

Expand commentCould be. It all depends on the size, the genre and how many rewrites. Also, if you need to do extensive research, you also need to take that in account. For me a first draft of a short usually takes a week and that's about 15 pages. But if you want to be really good, then take all the time you need.

Expand commentThe reason it takes so long for people to write something is that most people don't have a story. Wait, what!? This is how it happens: they start writing and figuring out things as they write it. Then you meander into never-never land going in circles - it's called "stuck in the Second Act" (Syndrome). Why? Because you don't know how to end it! So this is what you need to do before you pick up your pencil, or start pounding on the keyboard - know exactly "how will the story end". Then work backwards, you'll whip out stories/scripts in weeks. As a corollary, if the ending is mediocre or just run of the mill ho-hum, don't write it - change the ending until it's great, then write it. My opinion only, of course; and YMMV :)

If you have a story and know the characters it will take you two weeks. I just wrote my 65 page TV pilot in eight days. I wrote my first feature film 99 pages in two weeks.
