Ca Melo
Hello

Hi, everyone. It's another wonderful, introduce yourself weekend. My name is Cornelius and I'm a screenwriter down in sunny Florida. My favorite genre is comedy and I'm currently looking for funding for my black/action comedy titled, "MAMA'Z BABY." Until then, be safe everyone and happy writing, directing, producing, acting, composing and..."hunting."

Ca Melo

Thanks you all for your support. I do have a director that I corresponded with that will tackle that part. And yes, "MAMA'Z BABY" is certain to do well on the big screen Maurice. Shalom

Mercedes Malone

Ca Melo good luck, man... And congrats...

Anyways, I think I've found a good script from Vincent Paterno. It's called 'Stand Tall." - a Romantic comedy. You should ask him about it. :))

Scottish mystery drama pilot needs financial help to be completed and pitched to streaming platforms. Pilot has been started but lacks the funding and locations to complete the remaining scenes. Please message if interested. Thank you in advance.

Emily A Dinwiddie

I agree. It's looking that way.

I have three e-books avaiable on Amazon and screenplays for each book. I'd like to produce them in Oklahoma due to the excellent rebates the state offers. I need funding to get this off the ground.

David Kleve

That sounds very interesting.

Ideas/Resources for Crowdfunding a multi-media live musical show?

Hello, Everyone! I'd love to hear any ideas you might have to help with the funding (finding legit producers, putting together a crowd funding campaign, etc.) for my new Steampunk live show, "The Eccentrics", kind of a stage cross between V for Vendetta, The Princess Bride and Moulin Rouge. Thanks for your tips and suggestions!

Jenn Mello

Hi Juliet! First you have to ask yourself, WHO is going to watch this, and WHERE are they hanging out. For instance, are they on Facebook or Instagram? Are they hanging at clubs or bars? Make sense? Y...
