Enzo Bellani: Director, music composer and producer in Middlesbrough, United Kingdom.

I have finished a half hour comedy pilot. I’m from the UK so the pilot is based here also. Has anyone had any experience with script coverage? I have read a lot of reviews and it doesn’t seem too good. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Hi to all,

Does it make sence to put the trailer of a short film online when there is now guarantee that there will be any real (not) online) filmfestivals this year -- or ever again?! Cannes gone down the drain etc. The French team and lost Dutch guy - me -wanted to wait untill marketing wise it is smart to put the trailer of our short movie online.. But now I feel we can wait for ever... Stay of the boose, stay safe... stay home... if you have one.

This is my first post on Stage32, soooo, hello!

I'm deep into the second draft of my first 'earnest' attempt at writing a screenplay. I have several others in varying stages but this one says "fade out" and is being polished. So now I'm curious about something and would like to hear your thoughts.

I am trying to best craft a screenplay that is true to my own vision but also doesn't push too hard against conventions regarding structure and readability. I feel like as I go through my second draft and slice and trim I am losing my voice in the action.

How do I ride the line of simplifying my work so it will be read easily/quickly, understood (and hopefully enjoyed) while not stepping on the toes of actors/directors/cinematographers who will hopefully be using it as their map in the future?

I feel like my ability to turn a phrase is one of my strengths. I don't want to lose that. I can only make someone "melt" into a chair instead of "sit" or "bolt" instead of "run" so many times before I feel like more needs to be said.

I want to be professional and readable but I want to be myself.

Where do you folks draw the line?

Any thoughts?

How is everyone? It has been a very tough 3 weeks for everyone I'm sure and I hope that this time is used wisely for some new creative content.

Currently, we have just finished a 30 minute TV Comedy Pilot. We will be submitting to BBC writers room next week. After this, I am looking for the most relevant Industry Reader/Producer to provide me with feedback.

Stay safe and stay at home.
