Good work! I appreciate the time it took to write this. And you're right.
Thank you for the kind words, Claire - and thank you for taking the time to connect!

Expand commentLet me know if I can help you Tennyson. When I got my grad scholarship that I could not afford myself, I left L.A. So I'm out of L.A. for now, no use in person. But I was a reader for the LA Screenwriters contest for a few years. In case you want an extra read/ comments. My main genres are thrillers and drama and their hybrids.
Also if you know someone who needs a house/petsitter, think of me. I prefer sits that are two months plus, but it depends. The gig I had to leave in order to take my scholarship had lasted 15 months. Two giant dogs. Owner traveled a lot but was in residence. He had his own floor and I had half the ground floor. Most other sits, the owners are away. I have the dogs, cats, birds, fish, condo/house and catching up on networking. Anyway, this a just in case you happened to hear ... No effort, please.
Keep writing.
Claire
Thank you, Richard RB
Merry Christmas, Claire!
Thank you, Richard RB.
Hi Solange, You sent me a network invite. I added you to my network, but you might check that the system did that. If not, please feel free to resend the invite.
Hi Claire. Great to connect with you. I am a lawyer, paralegal and an author. You can check on my work at Stage 32 or go to my Amazon page. I write thrillers and horror. Happy to share that my first thriller, THE BURNING MAN, is being adapted for film.
Hi all,
This is my first lounge post. Someone just told me that she saw the post below but not in the Distribution lounge. So here it is below again. Let me know if it doesn't show Cherelynn and thanks.

Has anyone developed/ made a feature with distributor(s) who'll buy/ underwrite features on the basis of a pitch or pitch + script read? I don't have any other questions for you. Weekends are when I get more work done, so I'll sign off now, but meanwhile Happy Weekend all.Claire

I've been paid by distributors to make short films, this happened after I became friend with the CEO and also he representing 3 of my features and liked what he saw and was willing to offer me $ for 5 short films (5 mins each)

With all the eggs being poured into the pitch basket for so many, I'd suggest self-producing a few small projects to get your feet wet / show people what you're capable of, then slowly climb the ladder.

Happy weekend to you Claire and welcome to Stage 32! This is a great question - and, perfect for the distribution lounge! Would you please post there too? Looking forward to seeing you in the lounges!

Expand commentGreat question, Claire Soares! Drop me a note at j.mirch@stage32.com and I would be happy to give you a more in depth answer. I have worked with sales agents who have taken on just a script and were able to pre-sell it largely without cast (though a director was attached). So it can be done - it just takes the right partnership.
Hi, Claire Soares. Great to meet you. I can't help with your question, but I wanted to say have a great [rest of the] weekend!

Expand commentHello Johan, thank you for reaching out. I love your subject of studies. I'm actually studying the work of JUNG who tracked symbolisms and alchemy in religious texts right now... So much knowledge and meaning on human existence are in those texts.
Speaking Chinese ought to be marketable in the UK I think.
I got a lot out of both of these videos. Thank you, RB, for sharing this excellent content.
Thank you RB.
Always love hearing the content hit the mark, Wayne. Thanks for posting.
So very welcome, Claire!
