Introduce Yourself : Author. Poet. Screenwriter. by Tameka Mullins

Tameka Mullins

Author. Poet. Screenwriter.

Greetings, fellow creatives! I'm new to the community and look forward to networking with many of you. I'm currently working on a TV pilot (tightening up the outline before I start on the script) and editing a screenplay I wrote at the end of 2019. During the day I'm a web and social producer for a big tech company. I'm making the transition from writing novels to screenplays so if anyone has any advice I'd be glad to hear it!

Debbie Croysdale

Hi and welcome @Tameka Self publishing a novel is a great way to build interest prior to any script pitch and also if studio want to buy script if a novelette/book is already in ether they cannot obtain total rights to concept. My advice is since you already know how to execute web based stuff, build an Eco System of your story via Transmedia. A lot of it's free EG podcast, u tube, tumbler blog, or a route like Inter active Alexa audio drama etc.

Tameka Mullins

Hi Debbie, thanks for the advice and warm welcome! I’ll look into it.

Wayne Jarman

Welcome, Tameka.

Maurice Vaughan

Welcome, Tameka. Great to connect with you. How are you? What genres are your pilot and screenplay?

Tameka Mullins

Hi Maurice, thank you! Nice meeting you as well. Doing well, battling the snow out here! My TV pilot is half-hour dramedy and my film is a drama/thriller.

Tameka Mullins

Thanks, Wayne!

Billie Deen-Owen

Dramedy rolls of the tongue nicely!

Hi Tameka! Your future work sounds really interesting. I’ve just completed scoring a feature. Thriller/mystery/horror genre so if you’re considering a composer for your film project I’d very much enjoy discussing it further with you. Very happy also to send you a link to my SoundCloud account.

Tameka, I think it's going to snow here. I like Dramedy entertainment. I write Drama/Thriller feature scripts also.
