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.
