Is there a list of managers/agents out there anywhere? Script is done and I’ve entered a few contests. Now looking for representation. Thx.

Maurice Vaughan

Thanks, Shelly Talbot. I had a manager a long time ago. You might be interested in this: https://www.stage32.com/webinars/How-To-Land-A-Manager-and-Create-The-Ca......

Anyone know how to cancel writers room subscription. Not real obvious how to do that. Thanks in advance.

Shelly Talbot

Hi Everyone. I have another question that the answer doesn't seem to be easily found by Google. I have some dialogue in my script that will be in a texting format but I would like a voiceover to each text. Am I correct doing it this way?

MARIA (TEXT WITH V.O.)

Blah, blah, blah.

ANGELA (TEXT WITH V.O.)

Loglines

How long should a logline be? Thank you in advance.

Ewan Dunbar

As long as it delivers on world, tone, situation of the lead character, teases the journey and stakes, you'll have most bases covered. Writing a good logline that represents what about your project will make it interesting can take a lot of re-drafting.

Maurice Vaughan

I did that with a short script, Thomas. I took "A Quiet Place" and wrote the reverse of it.

Shelly Talbot

Thank you, Evan.

Subtitles

Hi All - I'm confused about subtitles. I have a small part of my screenplay that should be spoken in Italian. I've seen a couple different ways of putting it in the script and thought I would ask here for a final answer. Thx.

Shelly Talbot

I am seeing this:

John (Subtitle)

(In Italian)

Hello, how are things going?

Anyone see it done this way?

Right now I have the Italian words and then in a parenthetical the English words.

Open to more comments and thank you.

DD Myles

Hi Shelly! Dan's example is spot on if it's a quick Italian conversation.

GINO

(Italian)

Blah, blah, blah...

FRANCESCO

(Italian)

Blah, blah... (lol)

But if the conversation is an entire scene, then you cou...

Thank you Dan and DD. I understand now. It is an entire scene so now I know what to do. Onward with my writing.

Pitch Sessions

How often do the pitch session opportunities come up?

Shelly Talbot

Thank you for that link, Eric. I did see it and most are sold out so I am wondering how often these opportunities open up.

Eric Christopherson

The ones they show are roughly for the upcoming month but they do add additional ones sometimes on short notice, so just monitor that page.

Rob Jones

You can find them everywhere. Nothing special. They've all been making a bunch of good money and all kinds of websites continue to make good money and have been doing so for like a good 10+ years so there will never be a limited supply.
