Hello everyone, here's the latest: My original horror/thriller screenplay FRIENDS LIST (which was adapted and published as a novel last year) has just entered the preparation phase under my prod com Damaged Psyche Productions LLC. I've developed a business plan and pitch deck, I've attached a lead actress and another producer, and I'm talking with several candidates for director and casting director. I've contacted a line producer here on Stage32 that we'll use for scheduling & budgeting. Now comes the fun part -- the search for financing.

Best regards,

Rob Watson

Hi everyone.

It's been a while since I've been here. Yesterday I went to an improv acting session for the first time and was reminded of how much I still have to do to become a more proficient writer...Which led me back here! (The improv acting was a great experience though. It started in an opera studio then ended in its usual haunt - the basement of an Irish pub. Because, of course.).

I'm a New York-based screenwriter that is still very early in my journey. I've written 2 produced short films, both directed by Jeremiah Kipp, and starring Lydia Darly (A Guadaloupean actress known for her roles in Exorcist: The Beginning & The Way You Love ).

But while I'm proud of the chutzpah it took me to jump into those projects, my aspirations are much bigger; Namely, to write a full length film in the next year or 2, and hopefully get it produced.

I've been busy working on my personal brand as a freelance marketing professional and also working for a brand as a Social Media/Marketing Specialist (Which, looking back on early film projects, would have helped immensely if I had these skills then), and so screenwriting has sort of fallen by the wayside. But it's more in an effort to not be a "Jacklyn of all trades, master of none". It's really important, and I've really come to understand the importance of not half-asking anything. It's the sort of quality I want to bring into every aspect of my life.

Once again, I hope to get back into screenwriting in the near future, but in the meantime i'm filling my mental palette with the likes of Amazon's The Expanse, Love Death & Robots, Netflix's The Punisher, Supernatural (S4), Blacklist (S1), NBC's Hannibal (Watching a second time),  and more....

Hi Producers! Who here has optioned material in the past? If so, what have you optioned and what have you developed out of the material? Love to hear some success stories, some projects that didn't pan out (and why), and even some stories that are still in the works!

For my part, I optioned a New York Times best seller and worked to turn it into a feature film. It's a baseball project, which are always tough to do. But the story is fantastic!
