Kenneth L Sykes's Lounge Discussions

Hello

Hello all. I write family-friendly features. I sit down to write and a Hallmark movie comes out. Every time I try to do anything different, I hit a wall. Working on that. Anyway, I'm glad to be in this class with you guys.

Tom Kuhl

Amy, I was ghosted by a producer here, too, after an introduction. In my case, it could have been because I accidentally jumped the gun. I was given the producer's contact information before receiving...

Tom K., thanks for relaying your experience with me. Sorry for the negative experiences you went through, but I guess we are not alone in that.

Selma Karayalcin

Thanks for sharing your experience - I have used pitchfest. Three weeks ago I sent a query out about my Hemingways script . Several producers requested the script which I have sent- them. So lets see....

That's the downside of not getting any replies or a simple "No". You don't know, where you went wrong. Have you entered any contests or received any other sort of feedback before sending it to produce...

Thanks. No, I haven't tested out the Carole Lombard story. That's the plan for this weekend...competitions, maybe the 10 page read that Tom has recommended.

Script writing software

Another update and maybe no need for additional comments... I selected FadeIn. --- I am currently doing it by just writing in MSWord and formatting as I go. A bit more laborious I suppose so I am wondering what your opinion is about using dedicated writing software in general and what software you p...

I think it would be wise to spend a little more time getting to grips with something like Final Draft even if it doesn’t work “out of the box” as you say. As commendable as your resolve is - producers...

I echo what most have said above, Phillip (great name, by the way!) If you're just starting out and just want to write (the most important thing of all, right?), then Word can do this at a very basic...

As a side note, anyone who wants a .fdx version already has Final Draft. FD doesn't understand .docx but can import ,txt or .rtf files. You lose most of the formatting, so it's not a great solution. I...

Greetings P. Hurst I use FD, but would love to use John August’s screenwriting programme, Highland. Maybe one day I’ll get a Mac Book and can have it one there! I’d never use MS Word, it just doesn’t...

Short screenplay 'sold'/now produced. Competition success with my feature!

Hi, all.

This is my first post on here; in fact, I haven't logged in or been writing much for a while due to other commitments. However, my short script, 'Fleeting Nirvana' which I wrote in 2019 that got picked up by NYC director/actor Mike Phoenix has now been finished and is doing the rounds in the...

Hello to all in stage32! I am so excited to meet you. Before COVID-19, we were in development on a film called, “The Prayer”. But, since the shut down I’ve written a few books that will be released in 2021. I look forward to seeing my crew, friends and family. One thing I miss a lot, are their amazing hugs. Happy Holidays!

New to the Game, But Ready to Play

I have been fascinated by Storytelling and Mythology since I was quite young. Soon after that came an affinity for the 80's-90's era Comics (MARVEL and MILESTONE). After years of being inspired to develop my own characters, stories and back-stories I have begun to write my stories and weave my own w...
