  1. Anyone have a sample pitch for a reality show similar to Survivor?

  2. Available: One writer. Slightly used. Warranty still good. No significant exterior dings, scratches, dents, or cracks. Unabashed nerd with sci-fi and creature feature tendencies. Proficient in Final Draft, Word, and Photoshop. Comes with subversive and wicked sense of humor. Able to subsist solely on Goldfish crackers, Starbucks and Coke Zero.

      you had me at goldfish crackers--

  3. Exciting news! Got a gig doing a rewrite for a film already in the pipeline that has some serious potential but they're asking if I have an agent...which I don't. Any suggestions from any of my already repped friends?

      Thank you guys so much! And Johnson...invaluable information! Re: jabbatron06, I sold my soul to Z Nation as a season of indentured servitude and did everything I could to make sure I was where I needed to be when I needed to be and never said no to anything. :)

      Tye, Welcome to our union! Lookup and join the Writer's Education Subcommittee. (info on wga site). We meet monthly. It is by far the best group in the WGA and hosts some of the union's best events. Great way to get in and network quickly!

      Way to climb the ladder, Tye! Nice to hear when perseverance pays off. Congrats!

  5. General question for the entire group...have a pilot script and a feature film I'm planning on starting and want to know which one you think would be the best one to start with? What works the best as far as querying agents, a feature or a pilot?

      right now, there are way more jobs, and buyers, in TV rather than film. If you can write two great TV pilots, in the same tonal postcode, you'd be in a good place. But obviously It all depends on where your strengths lie .

      I'd also suggest writing the one that you're more into, because that will certainly translate to the script.

      Thank you guys! Pilot it is!!!

  6. Got another question for my amazing TB friends. I have a screenplay that was produced just last year but still no agent or manager. I want to start sending out query letters and was wondering, do I have to use a new spec script or can I send out the script that was produced?

      new one, but the produced one should help show you're legit

    3. 36monsters

      36monsters

      Thank you guys! Yes, I have a pitch and a few spec scripts I can use...just trying to figure out the best possible way to do this.

      Referrals from people who made the movie - producers, director, etc

  7. Got another writing gig! Of course it has nothing to do with film..I've been hired to extract test questions from medical textbooks for graduate level students. Todays topic: PLETHYSMOGRAPHY – UPPER AND LOWER EXTREMITIES. Way too much fun for one girl to have. ON a side note, I'm looking for work if anyone's hiring!!!

      No. Think someone was a bit overexcited. The maintenance mode was left on this morning at 2am PST. Fixed at 10am PST. Few new things had to be implemented for some of the new features coming at the end of the month.

      "How I Met Your Father" - a heartfelt comedy in the vein of HIMYM - but from the OTHER perspective - detailing how the intricate little group of friends from the original series drastically impacted (and ruined) Ted Mosby's future wife.

      Wait, so is this a trailer for the full thing? Are you guys still in post?

    3. 36monsters

      36monsters

      It's a trailer for the short which is just 12 minutes long. It's all done, and running the festival circuit right now so the director is being really selective about releasing the whole cut.
