Mike Derum: Actor, screenwriter and voice actor in Laguna Niguel, California.

I have a feature script that I would like to have a "Script Doctor" help me with, by walking through it with me. I have done 3 rewrites and feel it needs some help.

I am not trained as a screenwriter. However, as an actor, I have read a number of scripts.

I know it may be expensive...any suggestions? Are those services offered here? Please pardon my ignorance on this subject, and thank you in advance for your help/insight.

Mike

Just saying hi...new here!

I have written 4 features and 3 shorts.

I've been acting off and on for the past 28 years (about 95% commercials, including 8 Nationals).

I am looking for expert editorial guidance for 2 of my feature scripts. One Action/Adventure and one Thriller/Horror. I would like to get these 2 scripts ready for contest entries.

I graduated from Pacific Lutheran University with a B.A. in Communication/Public Relations, and while I attended Law School, I only completed 2 of the 3 years... obligations took me elsewhere.

I'm open to collaboration, talking, notes...I'm not going to be upset by honest, constructive feedback. I have never taken a class, but I did read a book on screenwriting.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading and shoot me a note!

All the best...

Mike

Hi Mike. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
