Hey all, I'm Michael. I'm a middle-aged dreamer, published yet struggling screenwriter, father of 3, award-winning director and frustrated filmmaker. I don't post on here very often, but occasionally make a call for assistance on a new project. www.spilledinkcinema.com (I drastically have to revamp this website.)

I understand... I'm from Idaho! I also don't post much. Just pop in and read about what everyone is doing and progress made. You seem to keep very busy. Keep pushing, something will give.

Hi Michael. It can be very hard to get things done outside of LA. Not that it's easy there either. I live in Arizona and my only way to get my scripts out there is things like Inktip. I am hoping to find people to network with. I have a single location thriller that could work in Iowa if you're ever looking for new low budget projects. Good luck!

Andrew, I see breakdowns all the time for LB single-location horrors! Are you pitching? I've found Stage 32 Pitch Sessions to be a great resource!

I have two single location horrors that I'd love to pitch. The only way I've found anywhere to get my script into the hands of producer/directors from Arizona has been through script services like Inktip. I've never used the ones on here. Have you had anything picked up through a pitch with them?
I've had scripts requested and managers reach out to me on here. One request through InkTip. Screenwriting Staffing is another decent resource. I don't recommend ISA for the most part; seems like anyone can post on there. I HIGHLY recommend using Stage 32's pitch services. It has helped me craft my pitches to take out to other places.
