Scott Bourquin: Actor, director and host/presenter in Huntington Beach, California.

Nice Vlog, since the blog says it is a list of top ten mistakes and #5 is clearly a don't and #6 is clearly a do. I wasn't sure if #1 and #10 were a "mistake" or a "what not to do", so I watched the video.

For those of you who are too lazy to watch the video (like I wanted to be), here is the summary list re-written as top ten tips.

#1 Do not include accolades or long bios.

#2 Know the right length of a log line.

#3 Do not include Out of Date or failed work as comps.

#4 Don't write a summary that is all plot and no character.

#5 Make sure you have someone double check your spelling and grammar

#6 Make sure you use your space and time wisely.

#7 Make sure you don't read your pitch, know it cold.

#8 Do pitch, don't sell, a pitch is the story and why you are the only one who can tell it. Selling is a benefits/problems solving/inclusion tactic.

#9 Be sure to include a Pilot and a Series summary for TV

#10 Don't end with a cliffhanger.

This one alone is probably an entire video....

If I get any of them wrong, please feel free to correct me.

Welcome to 2018! I hope you all are looking forward to your best year yet! For the past two years I have been developing a sitcom and a reality style show. The reality show, being much easier in concept, has already become an experiment/learning tool for me on YouTube. In the interim, I mostly work as an actor while helping Craig Railsback develop his documentary. Yes I posted this in acting too. It does say "new guy" doesn't it

Hi Scott. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
