John Rogers: Cinematographer, director and screenwriter in Salt Lake City, Utah.

John Rogers
When presenting a script how can I keep it protected?

So i'm always wanting other screenwriters to read portions of my script or previous drafts to get feed back on certain characters or themes but i've become more hesitant since the script is now it it's third draft and it's becoming more polished. I guess i'm afraid of someone stealing my story or my...

Thank you so much for these great responses! I've got a copyright and a WGA number now :)

Agatha Hergest

WGA is all very well, but I'm British, and I daresay it would be laughed at x

Johvan Davis

Hey John, I'm looking for a DP to collaborate with for a Short Film. Message me if you're interested as it'd be a favor for a favor in hopes to move us both forward.

Do you know others in the area that do filmmaking?

John Rogers

Autumn I don't think that I will be able to participate in this project. I would really have liked to but I will be working on a short film with a friend of mine before school starts on the 20th. I do hope that you complete the commercial. let me know how it goes! Good luck!

Hello, thanks for connecting :)

Know the law and your rights as a screenwriter.

The law can be difficult and protecting yourself in the entertainment industry can be hard, especially if you can't afford a lawyer. There is one great book that I own and has helped me navigate the complicated screenwriters agreements, "The Writer Got Screwed, But Didn't Have To." Read this book an...

Thank you for the advice. I too tweeted it. It is surprising to know that people already within the industry have risked making the same mistake. Thanks again!

Kristen Tinsley

No problem. If you have any questions or just need advice, email me:)

Nice to meet you:) I know what you mean about the un-paid spec scripts. I've had this nagging suspicion all along that I am going to get screwed. Oh for the love of writing.

John Rogers

Craig nice to meet you. Thank you for reaching out to a writer like myself. I'll certainly keep you in the loop when i complete my current script!

Autumn Burgess

Autumn Burgess

If any of you are in the Salt Lake City area, I am looking to put together a crew to shoot a book trailer for a contest.

John Rogers

I live here in salt lake city. send me some info on your plans and the dates you've established for the shoot.

Crowdfunding

This has probably been asked here a million times, but what the heck? I wonder, how do you do it? How do you get people - absolute strangers - to give you money to make your film?

Theresa Garchitorena

Hi Willem, I suppose we can do that but you probably know how tough it is to get back the money you've invested in a film. Our writer/director is investing a lot of his money in this project we're wor...

I'm definitely an amateur film maker but it seems to me that the most important thing when doing a kickstarter or indiegogo or what ever is to make sure that as many people as possible both hear about...
