Anyone attending Great American Pitch Fest? Anyone have any experiences with this one or Inktip?
-
Anyone have any experience with www.talentville.com? I assume this is another service similar to The Black List?
-
Best scripts with narration? Looking for a true masterclass in how narration should be executed. Prefer examples that are actually available here but whatever. Bring it!

Books that you *cannot* believe were either never turned into films or never optioned to begin with. Go.

Call me a hater, but I have ZERO idea how on earth Maggie Gyllenhaal has ever landed even one role in her life. It simply defies the mind.
-
Can anyone explain why my Final Draft (8.0) saves scripts as nearly 2MB PDF's? They should be 350KB at most. Any help?
-
Can anyone recommend an amazing Western script of the last 2-3 years that has thus far gone unproduced? It's fine if it sold, but looking for something unproduced. Best of the best only. Thanks.

Congrats to Peter Limm for his TB Recommends. If anyone has The Ardenworth Files I would love to read. Please PM me.

Could use help from someone who actually knows and has done it, how to properly print from the index card feature on Final Draft. I am in the index card summary mode (two across) and can see all my cards, but when I print preview (or print) I see nothing.
-
I've used it - and know what you mean about it not showing up on Print Preview -- what I do is use a separate PDF printer (not FD's) to print first... Then I can see it as a file and print the PDF for a hard copy if I want.
When you go into print screen under layout it has "index cards" checked. I change it to custom - then set how many cards across/ down I want... Print with a PDF writer and it's good to go.
You can also print directly to printer th...

Unfortunately when I "Save as PDF", even though I am in the Summary mode where I can read all scene headings and all summary text, it saves the file in "Normal view" where only the headers are shown on the PDF. I am looking to save these in actual note card size so I can print the note cards. Immensely frustrating.

Curious if anyone here ever attends the free BlackList mixers in LA at the Umbrella Company? Anyone planning to attend the July 6th one?
-
Does anyone have any history / experience with the Emerging Screenwriters competition they'd like to share?
-
Does anyone know how to LOCK Final Draft into a certain color so that it doesn't change? If one were making edits in red, is there not a way to make sure it stays on red until you manually adjust it to return to black?
-
So if you're going from 1st Revision to 2nd Revision (or whatever) and you want it to stay red - you go to the revision on the list, highlight it - then over to the right where it says "revised text appearance" you can change the color. So you can keep going with the same color or make it different.

Does anyone know if the Writers Guild answers general questions? If one was not a member, but had a specific question, would someone get back to you?
-
Does anyone know the rate/ratio of success on the "featured" Black List scripts? Curious to know if any writers have sold or been commissioned off this extra push.
-
Finally saw "The Founder" last night. Thought it was a total dud. Anyone else see? Agree/disagree?
-
For no particular reason, I just uploaded a biopic script I wrote a few years back into the "Works In Progress" category. The title is "The Wife & Death of Hank Williams Sr." and the script centers around Hanks wife and manager, Audrey Mae Sheppard. Further explanation is in the thread.

Has anyone read this years BlackList winner "Blonde Ambition"? Thoughts?

@sbbn Ha! So true... if you're name's Sorkin. And there have been scripts like The Libertine which did well (on the Black List) but the odds are always on the more fast paced scripts. Social Network (indeed, most scripts based on good true stories) had a lot of stuff to get through. i've read amateur scripts where it's quite clear from the first ten, fifteen that the writer doesn't have enough story to fill the pages. There are always exceptions... but in the main what...

It's the script the script reading club this reading this week, though no one's weighed in yet: http://forum.tracking-board.com/index.php?/topic/16264-script-reading-club-blonde-ambition-by-elyse-hollander/ (I haven't gotten around to it yet - biopics almost always bore me. Give me fiction any day, I get enough real life in real life.)
-
How surprising is this: "Jackie" has only grossed $13M and is now in RedBox, so I assume that means they don't expect to see more. I know the script was heavily praised when it first went out. On Rotten Tomatoes, 89% Critic score, 64% Audience. I tend to side with the audience meter more often than not. Discuss.

Interesting to hear that my suspicions that this was just old hat, more of the same, confirmed. A much more interesting take on it would have to tell how Jackie orchestrated the hit after JFK threatened to cut off her personal coke supply that she was smuggling back from Vietnam on Air America and put her in rehab. True story.
-
They advertised it like a bio pic about a certain incident on her life but it really wasn't. It was a bit odder and darker and tried to get into her mentality after the assn so it played more like a tone poem feeling through those few days and less structured. If they went the more conventional route about how strong she was and moving on with her life prob more audiences would have come out, but really it was just a showcase for Portman's internal performance

I know everyone is different and everyone has their go-to coverage analyst, but I really wanted to show some love for www.scriptexaminer.com. I have used everyone from Black List to TB and several independents and Ashish coverage is THE best out there for the money. My last round of coverage resulted in 3 thorough pages of notes and I can't say it wasn't his suggestions that got my script in the shape it needed to be in to land me a manager. Just a friendly tip to those in need.

I'm looking for a great one-sheet. I know we have a thread for treatments and bibles, but does anyone have a really great one-sheet template? P&T
-
I'm sure I'm in the minority here and will probably get crucified for this, but I honestly do not get the hype for Stranger Things. It seems like the more people hype a show up all over social media the more let down I am by it when I finally get around to watching. Props to the writers for getting it going but I just was not engaged. Discuss.

Is there anyone who has experience uploading multiple voices into Final Draft for use in the read back feature? I've tried the ways suggested online and it seems there's no cut and dry method. Any help?
