I recently got hired by a production company to write comps and I have the opportunity to pretty much take on as much responsibility as I want as long as I'm adding value to the production. Looking to learn from other...

Welcome! I use the writer's cafe through Stage 32 to stay on track. There are cafe's Tuesday thru Saturday. Don't know if they fit your work schedule, but I have found them instrumental in getting myself into a rhythm. You should check them out :)
I agree with Gabrielle. Funny thing, once I became accountable to write during the cafes, I do a lot better job of also spending hours writing outside the cafes.
I will definitely have to look into the cafe.
That's funny, Cara! So do I. I feel like I don't want to be in the same place I was the session before, so I keep at it :)

Hi I'm new here ,
have just finished a horror short film trailer - ENVISION and hoping for a literary agency to represent my work. Interested, my email johnmarkabela@yahoo.com. any feedbacks/critics will be welcome
Great trailer it didn't need words or captions to convey what the story is about... fantastic.
Thank you Max much appreciated ! I hope a lot of people will watch this ,
You've got a trailer, so that means the film is complete, yes? You don't need a lit agent, you need a distributor.
Hi John Ellis , thank you for reaching out ! Yes my film is completely ready , If you know a distributor by any chance just let me know thank you as I’m new into this industry , This film was made with passion and love
Sorry, I don't know any distros. One way to connect with some is to submit the film to festivals.

Hey Christopher,
I can really relate with your story. I'm 44 and I've wanted to make movies for as long as I can remember. I get a little discouraged when it seems like everyone in this game is under thirty.
Keep fighting. Best of lick with Bayou Noir.

My novel is coming out soon from the publishers and I am looking to adapt it to the screen. Taleflick felt my series was excellent for franchise protential and named it a Top Pick. It is BIPOC dealing with Native Americans with plots you haven't seen before.
