As I put the finishing touches on my script before turning it in I've reached a new roadblock.
B8 has a retainer fee that as a first time creator I just outright cannot afford by myself. I've been told they're definitely interested in moving forward with my project but as a Executive Production compa...

I’m an actor who’s worn a lot of hats over the years—on screen, on stage, and behind the scenes. I’ve played leads, co-stars, and supporting roles in film, TV, and theater, and I actually got my start in the entertainment world at 15 as a musician. One of my favorite claims to fame? I once performed...

I wrote a "one sheet" ,more like five sheet, that I was really proud of. I think I finally realized how vital a one sheet is before going to draft. I used to treat it like a vague synopsis and figure...

I love prologues because it gives me the opportunity to foreshadow or set the tone before I get into the story. I can’t help myself. I don’t use it as an introduction to give readers content before diving in, but I usually give them an entirely different feel (softer, stronger, or maybe funnier) tha...

The text scrolling over the backdrop of space before the opening scene of every Star Wars Movie is a great example of a useful prologue. I've never imagined how to prologue a script though - only books... Just sayin'
In my screenwriting process, I choose not to use prologues. Instead, I rely heavily on crafting a compelling cold opening. The cold opening serves as an essential element, as it establishes the tone o...

Brilliant Mone't Weeks ! It sounds like you "draw them in" and keep them reading.
Thank you, Debbie!
I don't prologue but in my one short story i have a epilogue because I wanted time to pass snd healing to take place and ss a short story i wasn't going into sll the steps the main character did. Instead I focused on what the characters lessened learned is with a powerful ending poetic like.
Okay, I've reached the halfway point (6 hours of work per minute of scoring, I'm not exactly efficient...) - and here's the result. I welcome any constructive criticism, keeping in mind that:
- This is my very first scoring project
- I have NO formal musical training
- I only work with free tools (...

Amazing work!!!
Is it possible to create a fictional story that combines medical drama with sci-fi, historical drama, lots of action, and touches of comedy? Not only is it possible, but it's already been done. It's called “TIME MEDICS.” I've been passionate about science fiction for as long as I can remember. I rem...

They don't have to defer payments, they have to invest in you and your project. It's their good right to ask for payments, but it makes you an investor or money hustler and not the screenwriter or creative you probably want to be.

This is also an educational platform as of what I understand of it. I am just here today to help out the peeps with my 30 years of professional experience.
They want money like all the rest. If they LOVED your work that much they should not ask you for funds.
