Hi All, Wow Interesting site.
I'm Cedric an Indie Filmmaker - Freelancer based in Wellington Nz.
I ask because I have a lot of respect for my fellow 'Happy Writers'. Could not have come this far over my 3 years of membership without the insights and opinions you guys have. With a 6.7 billion $ acquistion budget for 2017 and now having crossed the line of 100 million subscribers they are becomin...

I think we are behind the wave anyway. Audi turned up to the Berlin Film Festival to purchase content for their driverless cars. The market isn't want we think.
Craig, that kind of sounds like an extension of the airline-movie model
A S very true. If we stop owning cars because autonomous taxis become a cheaper option. Then car makers will battle in low running cost and features. Perhaps Audi may have their own content like Netflix to be an incentive to car fleet buyers. I smirk at people predicting the future.
I think there are many different markets and whilst the way in which people consume entertainment has changed dramatically in the last ten years, there is still a need for great stories to be told. An...

Great comments and opinions all. Thank you so much. I am going to wait another week or so before I voice my opinion. Keep it coming.
I can't believe my script made it to the Semi finals. I had sent this out to some people and never even got a reply. I was pretty sure it was terrible but decided to enter so I could order the reader notes. Never expected to make it but happy I took a chance.
Congrats!
Wow! You did try! I'm happy for you. I hope the semi final stage also comes with a prize.
Congratulations!
Good job! Congrats!
Thanks!!

Do you have contact info from anyone else on the shoot? Are they all in the same boat? Perhaps someone (if not you) has contact info for the production company/agency and can contact them directly?

Would like to hear comments on using (beat) in dialogue. I seem to have quite a few in one of my scripts. I've learned not to give directions about camera views to directors, so what about giving actors directions with beats in their dialogue. Any comments?
I think it's a useful technique. I've used beats in dialogue very effectively to build tension and suspense between the characters and creating the atmosphere and emotion required within the visual na...

Thanks for all the great comments. I'll keep the beat going.
(Parentheticals) mostly bloat line & page count. If I think a dramatic pause or thoughtful pause is really called for, I just add inline ellipses (...), but sparingly.
Right A.S. - ellipses are the right way to write the momentary dramatic pause.
I have used beats within the dialogue as well as every time action moves forward I used text for the first and the final draft beatboard for the second. In a way, there is no correct way I guess, I do what works for me - hope this helps

It's the result of many moons of thinking and working to find an appropriate answer, I hope you'll enjoy it and it will make you take actions to put y...
