Best Onscreen Fathers

Happy Father's Day!! I would love to hear from you guys. Who are some of your best on-screen fathers?

Karen "Kay" Ross

I desperately want Joe West from CW's The Flash to be my dad. LOL

Steve James

I've recently seen Russel Crowe on Fathers and Daughters that was pretty harrowing.

James Welday

Bit of a cliche, but Atticus Finch is still my favorite.

Goal for today met: Try something new

Managed to take a plunge and writeup a logline and a working synopsis for one of the many ideas I have roaming in my head. I haven't done any writing in forever.... I used to do it as a creative and mind cleanser but not really something I'd pursue

GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE:

A successful career woman reflects back on her turbulent trials and tribulations of her past. Her family, friends, work acquaintances and other diversified people she encounters along the way fortify her downfalls and rises as she grabs hold of her mental health issues and a whole new identity. Securing the roadway to her success was a matter of life and death.

Comic Relief - What Sketch Would YOU Do?

I just found this DELIGHTFUL video of David Tennant and Michael Sheen doing a sketch with Comic Relief for charity. Who knew Comic Relief was still a thing?! I remember when Billy, Whoopi, and Robin were the engine for that organization.

In any case, it got me thinking - what sketch would YOU do for...

Freyja Seren (she/her)

@Kate Dones was that the Stephen Fry film? I loved that! I haven't seen it in years. I think I have the dvd, I'll have to dig it out and rewatch.

Kate Dones

Freyja Seren (she/her) yes Stephen Fry directed it.

FUN POLL: Stuff or Services?

Let's say you have a $300 Visa Gift Card. What would you spend it on? Stuff or services? What would be your top three things?

Richard F Roszko

Three hundred dollars is not enough to do a full on splurge-crazed frenzy. I'd go with what Doug Nelson said. But I'll name my favorite: Laphroaig 10 year. The smell and taste of dirt is great :) ...okay, it's peat, but I call it dirt.

Karen "Kay" Ross

Ooo, @Richard I just learned of Laphroaig from watching Men in Kilts. I typically have Glenfiddich, but now I can't wait to try this one! Thanks for the reminder!

Logline reviews

I'm working on a movie inspired by a true story (my husband's life since a train hit us) and I'd like comments on the new longline I came up with.

Title: The Brit Who Said It Could Have Been Worse

Definitely shaping up better; and no problem. It was a more straightforward precise way to combine all those words together. few grammar fixes, and few more rewording might do.
