Coffee & Content - Screenwriting, Filmmaking, Acting, Financing, Distribution & More!

Hey guys!  Happy Sunday. The past week has been consumed by Cannes prep (see all the details here), so I have something a little different for Coffee & Content this week.  And it's something for everyone.  How about we cover ground on all the following topics: - Why you need to cut the negativity out of your life- Today! - Why you do not need to be micromanaged as a screenwriter or a filmmaker - How you can bring value to every meeting - What I'm hearing in my meetings regarding my new television project - Why you need to have a plan for your movie through distribution before you start shooting - How to identify the audience for your film or content before you go into production - How actors and other creatives can make the best use of Stage 32 - The best methods for fighting through writer's block - The best practices and most productive methods on social media - When should you follow up with producers, managers, agents and financiers   I have all this and much more in the On Demand video of my most recent AMA with the community.  This content is high energy and demands a strong, rich dark roast!   As always, I ask you to please share this content by hitting the handy social share buttons in the upper right corner.  And, of course, I always welcome remarks, discussion and musings in the comments section below. Enjoy the content and the coffee!   RB   Click here to get the AMA for FREE!   Like this blog post?
