Anything Goes : Mentor by Kevin Hager

Mentor

Is there a mentor with Disabilities like Asperger Syndrome on Stage 32?

TOM SCHAEFER

Aspberger's is not a disability, it is a superpower. Don't ever call it a disability - thanks.

Kevin Hager

It was suggested to me.

Niki Galiano

Kevin, ignore the haters. Lol.

Niki Galiano

Kevin Hager, I don't haver Aspergers, but I can be extremely organized to the point of being OCD when it comes to producing my screenplays as animations. (I"m making an app based on my method.) If you need any help with anything, I'm happy to give you any pointers. Feel free to email me from my animation studio website (Silly Side Productions . com) and I'll send you my private e-mail.

Kevin Hager

Thank you. Could you also look at my loglines? There is a lot of them.

Niki Galiano

Kevin, you've got a lot of great loglines! My suggestion, though, is to NOT put them up here. I've had about 4 of my ideas taken. I also used to write jokes on comedywire, and I had a lot of my jokes taken from there. I would keep your loglines private. I had mine up here for a lot of years and I reently took them down, because once again, I watched a movie that was eerily similar to a screenplay I had written and had a log line. I also sent a pilot episode to someone here on Stage 32 - and then what do you know, it got made into a series, and nobody consulted me. So, I took all my log lines down. Anyway.....I highly recommend learning how to make your own videos and movie with a video editor, whether it's Canva, iMovie, or whatever one you want, then put them up on a youtube channel, or a vimeo channel or whatever platform you want. Or even a website wehre you just upload your videos directly. I made a 24 minute animated comic book for less than 200 bucks. It's totally doable. Start with the shortest first, a minute or two, then work your way up to longer ones. I probably made 20 short, stop motion animations before I made my 24 minute long one. I also made one that was over 20 minutes long and it was just a radio-play. I don't think HOllywood as we know it is going to be around for much longer, but definitely start making your own. I'm also making an app for screenwriters who want to do a micro-budge tproduction of their own screenplay. The app is called Be Your Own Producer. I'm looking for beta-users who want to try it out, give suggestions, and in exchange I give them a lifetime free subscription. If you want to try it out when it's ready, you can be one of my beta testers and I'll let you use it for free, in exchange for your feedback. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!! :)

Kevin Hager

I don't know much about apps, and I have found a friend who is helping to write one into a script.

Niki Galiano

Ok, no problem. If you ever want to try it, you're welcome to. But I would highly recommend trying to produce your own screenplays (even a microbudget one using imovie or anything like that) instead of trying to find a producer or a studio, because there are hardly any studios left anymore. They're all consolidating, merging, or getting bought out.

Kevin Hager

But what about Disney? I would love to pitch ideas to them.

Niki Galiano

Go for it! :) I'm sure you'll do great!!
