Hey Fellow Screenwriters!
You probably want to take a look this. My buddy, Daniel Thron, who currently lives and works in LA as a lead matte painter, visual effects supervisor, voiceover talent, actor, screenwriter, and an aspiring director, sent me this.
It is so true that if and when you sell your script you will most likely find that not one word of what you write will ultimately appear on the screen. Such is the tough and often ruthless game of screenwriting in Hollywood. Things are starting to change a bit as more and more independent productions are happening, and as more projects are being distributed through other mediums such as the Internet. However, as an aspiring screenwriter, you’re going to face some serious uphill battles, lots of rejection, and outright merciless criticism. Those are the hard realities, but that is true for any industry. The key is “not to take it personally, and never stop trying.”
So without further adieu, let me present to you this trailer for Tales From The Script.
Perhaps we’ll do a group field trip and catch this film at The Kendall Square Cinema or wherever it will be shown in the Boston area.
In the meantime, get back to that writing!
This should be a very interesting film about the craft. I look forward to it. It’s always interesting to get the perspectives of these working professionals.
