About the meetup

Knoxville Screenwriters and Filmmakers 5th Meetup is scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd, 2015 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM, at the Cedar Bluff Branch of the Knox County Public Library system. The address is 9045 Cross Park Drive, Knoxville, TN 37923, and the library's phone number is (865) 470-7033.
Suggested topic: Feedback and what to do about it. If you're making video or film, how do you test people's reactions? Do you try out your loglines on strangers standing in line at the convenience store to watch their reactions? Have you bought professional feedback for your scripts? How do you handle other people's suggestions? What criteria for feedback do YOU use when you're reading or watching someone's work? Do you believe in "tact," or "tough love?" Show up and we can talk about this kind of thing, or whatever you have on your mind right now that you want to kick around in a group of peers.

About the group

Discussion group for screenwriters and filmmakers, in and around Knoxville, TN.

I am 80/20 for this meeting. Have to help daughter and son-in-law move, unless it rains.

Ron Brassfield

Well, I won't pray for rain, but the way this week has been, who knows? I'll just say, "Hope you can make it." :-)

Ester Lopez

I plan to be there!

Ben Boyd Jr.

Moving is on. Sorry - already committed. See you next time.

Ester Lopez

Hi Ron, since the rain is getting heavier here and Ben has other commitments, I was wondering if we could re-schedule? I've been experiencing sliding on the highways and my tires are needing replacement. I think more people would benefit from Stephanie's program if they were to attend. You can call me at 865-654-8656 and let me know. Thanks!

Ron Brassfield

I was the only one at the library today, with three scripts and the feedback from two contests and a producer. Understandable, given that it was raining and I was not able to give much notice this time. I connected to wi-fi, updated my laptop and went home at 3:30 PM. I need to know if there is any interest in doing another meetup this year. Personal update: Since our last meetup, through my Screenwriting Staffing Utopia subscription, at the Labor Day Holiday period I was able to connect with a smart, young, fledgling producer who wants to make a web series in the area. He asked for a 20-page script submission, which I planned in one day, wrote in the next, sent in and "won the job" by the next week, after he read the responses he received. Tentatively, there will be ten webisodes, though I am waiting for the contract to sign.
