    Discussion AI in Filmmaking - Revolution or Real Threat?

    Oh boy I am glad to see this conversation! As an independent poet, author and lyricist, turned screenwriter - AI has been paramount! I have not used it for any of the writing itself, but rather I have used it to learn the expectations and requirements of each stage while writing my first...

    Discussion Question Is your manuscript really ready, or are people simply telling you what you want to hear?

    You are 100% correct. As someone who has had to learn everything from the ground up, I never looked at any feedback as 'negative', simply constructive. As my writing began to develop and I began to understand the industry, I found at first, feedback was mixed. I gained a lot of positive...

    Industry Spotlight Eldonie S. Mason – What Every Filmmaker Should Know About Contracts, Rights and Legal Risks

    In the hopes she sees the responses: Thank you, Eldonie, this is a really valuable read, especially for those of us still in development. The point that the root problem is usually poor early planning or missing paperwork, rather than the legal issue itself, really struck a chord with me. I'm...

    Question Pitch nerves!

    Thank you. To be fair, it went absolutely amazing! He also has a daughter who shares the same additional needs as my own - which the main character is based and shows - which he said resonated with him personally. He was blown away by the readiness of Bloom and how much I already had. It was...

    How Can Filmmakers Choose the Right International Sales Agent for Their Film?

    With a pitch session coming up for Bloom, this was great to come across! I'm not at the sales agent stage yet. Bloom is an animated musical still looking for its producer. But I've spent a lot of time researching this, because I'd rather understand it now than learn it the hard way later. From...

    Discussion I built a writers' room in a single file. Feedback welcome.

    This looks very overwhelming and I was looking to find a specific works under that - in full honesty - I would open it and close the page immediately. Then there came the nice little box about the cost. $59 or $29 for early bird? If this is not mandatory, please make that clearer. This is...
