The Thistle Legacy seeks Proper Executive Producer

Scottish mystery drama pilot and 7 of 66 planned episodes written and ready for production. Please message if interested. Thank you in advance. 

Emily A Dinwiddie

Well, he knew from the first communication that there was no funding and it was his job as producer to secure the funding. We got as many scenes as possible done for free using locations I had secured...

Emily A Dinwiddie say what? The producer won’t do the promo? It sounds like you have the wrong person for the job!

Emily A Dinwiddie

I agree. It's looking that way.

Looking for translate

Hi guys. Im currently writing a Scottish/English/danish screenplay. My story takes places in the 16th century so I was hoping someone know where to find a site, person, book or anything that can help me learning gaelic, or translate my English word into gaelic. 

Stay safe and healthy 

Sille 

Sille Larsen

Thank you all for your comments, I have found the right site and the right people, - I know I can't use duolingo to translate, but it wouldn't mind learning the language either so I know what im writing- But thank you all for taken your time to reach out on my post. :-D

Kiril Maksimoski

Guess you're right Emily, anyway on serious note Eoin's right any civilized language in the world would have major influences five centuries apart...you'll need not only linguist but probably historian too...

Emily A Dinwiddie

Agreed, and that's what I've got for my television series. Sille, If you're going to write a script, what I have found works best (and it's a little more work, but it's fun) write it in English, then...

Right, so it's been passed to me to do this. The Thistle Legacy is in need of an Executive Producer that can fund or get funding for at least the Pilot. Please message me ASAP if you're interested.

Screenplay optioned!

Just optioned my first screenplay! Can't say much beyond that for now, and I know it's probably lame to announce that since it doesn't exactly mean a film is being made. Just to add some context, I've been at this for about five years, so this may give hope to others to know that persistence does pay off!

Cherelynn Baker

Congratulations! So happy for you!

Marcia McNair

Congrats, and thanks for sharing, because it is inspirational to hear about another writer's success.

Mike Romoth

Great work and thanks for posting. Posting about a success is always welcome in my book. We are all here hoping for even small-ish victories, and you show that there is a path. Best of luck and let us know how you progress with this.

Emily A Dinwiddie

A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Dan!

Hello from England.

My name is Emily A Dinwiddie, I've been a proper screenplay writer for over 35 years. I've been creatively writing short stories, poems, short films, and television storylines. My passion is creative writing, despite my guardian's efforts to kill it by burning copies of my works.

I'm a soon-to-be 4-t...

I don't write novels, luv. I do screenwriting and novel to script conversions. I occasionally do short stories, 1500 words maximum. When I was younger I got a copy of the Screenwriter's bible and then was hooked and that's all I've written is ready for production scripts.

Karen "Kay" Ross

Sorry, I saw it as "novel writing", not "novel adaptation". Definitely two different things! Wow, that is true love right there - The Screenwriter's Bible can be a dry read, so if that got you hooked,...

I do screenplays for both film and television. Right now my focus is on my Scottish mystery-drama television series The Thistle Legacy, due to start production 21st of May. I find the UK industry a lot more welcoming than the US. The US has become so cutthroat over the years, it's horrible.

Response to Karen "Kay" Ross

I only do screenwriting. I occasionally do short stories, 1500 words maximum. When I was younger I got a copy of the Screenwriter's bible and then was hooked and that's all I've written is ready-for-production scripts. Now I'm working on my own Scottish mystery-drama television series, The Thistle L...

Peter Roach

I thought so, I was just being daft.

I am proud to announce that Wolfe Productions/John Wolfe have signed on to take the reins and The Thistle Legacy is now in Pre-production looking to start filming end of May 2021!!

It is with a heavy yet hopeful heart that I announce the following:

Due to personal reasons, Transit Productions / Abraham Hampton has elected to resign as Executive Producer for #TheThistleLegacy

Well, well, well, things are moving right along. Not being able to get to use the locations desired, one happens to fall into our lap. And we have a proper production company that is interested. YAY!! I KNEW moving to the UK was the right thing to do!! Much more welcoming here!!

Emily A Dinwiddie

YAY! I have found a Producer, Casting Director, Publicist, and Assistant Director for The Thistle Legacy Mystery Drama TV series. If you'd like to join us in this project, please email RaymondPritchard48@gmail.com Thank you.

Query

Is the writer/creator of a tv series the one who procures the funding, or is that to be undertaken by the producer? I have found conflicting information on this and wish to clarify. I am a creator/writer of a 65+ episode television series and would like to know. Thank you in advance.

Hey Alejandro Marello - for features, it generally it depends on what is negotiated and whether the writer is a WGA writer or not. WGA sets "minimums" for an amount a screenwriter must be paid for a s...

Alejandro Marello It's your script - you can make whatever deal you want. It just depends on what the buyer is wiling to agree to.
