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.

Send some good vibes to fellow TB'r Larry Lasky: He's got a spec going out! http://www.tracking-board.com/rift-spec/

In a galaxy far, far away, I co-wrote a small straight to DVD arthouse movie called Hard Target 2. Trailer's out.

I urge everyone to get stuck into the TB Runway pilot reviews. Andrew and Ashish are on fire. Variety and Deadline should snap them up.

Tips for Berlinale, anyone?

THE CHICKENING:

I don’t normally toot my own horn, but... my western script “DEATH OF A LEGEND” is the Grand Prize Winner in the StoryPros Screenwriting Competition, beating out almost 1,000 other screenplays. Tracking Board coverage from DB and JT helped me improve the script, so a very big thanks to them. I’m hoping the win will help me in my quest to find a manager.

As writers, you might like this short film that I worked on. It stars Paul Scheer, Natasha Leggero, Kristen Schaal, Ken Marino & Milo Ventimiglia.

So I ended up winning best comedy feature at Austin. I'm still trying to process the whole experience, but I can't say enough good things about the festival!

Draft done. http://i.imgur.com/zjxv88e.jpg

After reading the reviews for Burnt, I wonder: What's worse, having your screenplay never made? Or having it turned it a terrible movie?

Well, I'm in the Austin finals with a comedy. Nervous and excited to be heading to Austin (first time!). Anyone else going? I'd love to meet up...

I vote for a set chat time on Friday's. Suggestions welcomed.

Great chattin on chat day!

I'm in the Austin semifinals with a comedy. Hoping for the best and good luck to anyone else in the Austin!

106 pages in 11 days. First draft complete.

My wife and I started a podcast about the Criterion Collection. There's a post in the Works In Progress section if you're interested.

Script locked and uploaded to TB Features. Best of luck to all the other entrants.

Very happy I don't want to read the Ghostbusters script.

Oh man, MR. ROBOT officially has jumped the shark. Increasingly uneven and increasingly disappointing.
