License Property

I once went on this page from the Disney company where it stated that a person could ask permission to license Disney property. How does that work? Is it how you sell something to Disney?

Remember I have Asperger Syndrome. So let me know in detail please.

Detective Farnsworth leaves.

You're welcome, Tim Bragg.

Mike Boas

Because Jackson is interacting with the disembodied voice almost like a separate character, I’d use OS, not VO. I’d also shorten the character name, call it INNER JACKSON, or just inner voice.

Tim Bragg

Oh, that's good. I like that also, thanks Mike.. I am going to use that INNER JACKSON (OS)

Pat Alexander

Yeah, I would lean towards what Mike Boas recommends and name the inner voice as INNER VOICE in the dialogue or JACKSON'S INNER VOICE or you can even get creative or sardonic with it and go with somet...

I'm not sure why the blogs are down, Stephen Notley, but I let Technical Support know about it. You can read the blog on the Stage 32 app while Support works out the issue.

Pat Alexander

Looks like the blog link is back up! Or at least it's working for me!

So it is... awesome!

Disabilities

Do any of you know what it's like have a Disability like Asperger Syndrome? We learn and process information in a different way than other people. Plus, we are an easy target for bullies who think that people who are different are easy to pick on. I had witnessed this many times, and sometimes we so...

Anthology Features Rule at Cannes!

As a writer of feature films I am very excited that screening at Cannes are: The Horizon: An American Saga: Chapter 1 ( a four-feature film epic by Kevin Costner) ; George Miller's Mad Max: Furiosa ; Lanthimos 3-part fable. I love a good anthology!

Pat Alexander

One of my absolute favorite movies is an anthology -- Wild Tales (2015) dir. by Damián Szifron, which features six standalone shorts with a common theme of catharsis, violence and vengeance. So so so so good. Also Paris, I Love You! Mwah chef's kiss
