Screenwriting : Wildsound, free loglines posted - anyone tried this? by C. D-Broughton

I'm not sure anyone is actually looking but if you sign up you will get 100 emails a month from them.

I uploaded one of my loglines to see what would happen. Needless to say, nothing did happen. If you're looking for an affordable site to put your logline and script on that will actually have companies look at your work, then try InkTip. I've had one of my screenplays optioned thanks to them. But don't solely rely on that. You also have to market your work elsewhere, send out queries and make some calls. S32 is also a great place to network. I've had some meetings with a couple of producers due to networking on S32 and also have met some awesome screenwriters that are willing to share their opinions.

Thanks for all the replies. We're actually trying to build market awareness for the feature we're raising funding for, and the sales pitch of 90,000 views per day got me wondering how useful the site may be. Don't misconstrue the above as meaning that we'd be trying to advertise there for investors; we simply want to build up some buzz as it's better to arrive with a BANG than it is risk landing in a flop.

Who can say No to such a kind offer? Thanks, Alle.

Lol, Alle, irony intended. ;-) On the subject of Wildsound and Inktip-- I have been offered a full video-tapped reading of my script by them, which could be useful since I'm tired of listening to the computer voices from Final Draft read my story back to me haha. As for exposure via their website, limited at best, as others have said. Of course, it all comes down to what your concept is and what the majority of producers are looking for. I've gotten nothing out of Inktip or Moviebytes, but maybe that is because of my concept, despite it doing really well in contests. It's a dating game. You just have to find the right partner. The more things you try, the better chances you have of getting that 'yes' I reckon. It's just that some methods or more effective than others, e.g. Stage 32 ;-)

I hear you Sam. For me, the value of the video tape read is just to hear actors reading your lines. I don't expect it to 'lead' to anything. I am wondering if they will find Japanese actors to play the Japanese roles in my script, or if they will just white wash it. I reserve judgement though, because I don't know, but I always hope for the best. No matter what, we should always celebrate the small victories though. That is the very fuel that fires the soul of an artist after months/ years of dwelling in our caves ;-)

Ha Ha, Danny! I never did a thing with them and get spammed from them all the time, but I do think they recently changed their tactics.

this is an excellent thread to follow

I had a couple of my scripts read on stage. I found it to be an eye opener for me. I actually flew to Toronto to meet the actors and got good feedback from them. This was back in 2007. Toronto is a beautiful city. I just added it to my resume just like when I came in top ten finals on Scriptapalooza about the same time. It was fun all the same.

Just received a critique of a screenplay - well reasoned and serious on their part. Pointed out problems with my script that I was aware of - didn't ask for money, and offered to let me re-post the revised work gratis.

Who can argue with that service?

Nan, I'm sorry, I could've sworn that I replied (but we have had some internet trouble)... Anyway, I just wanted to say that in the past, if somebody didn't "get" my work, I'd firstly check that the writing was CLEAR and then that I didn't give any FALSE HINTS. There's nothing wrong with vague, but only if the information you've kept out of the spotlight isn't crucial.
