Scriptchat 2.14.2010 Valentine's Day Open Forum

Scriptchat TOPIC: Who needs Valentine’s when u have #scriptchat love?  Taking the fuzzy handcuffs off for an OPEN FORUM

Being Valentine’s Day, we decided to keep our chat casual.  Apparently, the Europeans are far more romantic than the Americans, as attendance was light… but real-life love was strong.  Americans, on the other hand, clearly had nothing romantic to do.  As always, a fun, off-the-cuff chat.  Enjoy! @jeannevb

1:17 am             GoldenAgeofGeek:             @zacsanford2 was it hard to get into, the writer's group that is? #scriptchat

1:17 am             bradfordrich:             Best script I ever read was SUGAR & SPICE! It's wonderfully funny! #scriptchat

1:19 am             PennyAsh:             Best script I've read Zombieland, too much gore for me but it pulled me in with the feeling of urgency #scriptchat

1:20 am             GoldenAgeofGeek:             @PennyAsh u can follow @RhettReese who wrote ZLand #scriptchat


1:20 am             naultpullar:             @GoldenAgeofGeek You got it! But loglines can be a lot of fun! #scriptchat

1:20 am             covermyscript:             "network" was one of the best scripts i've read. #scriptchat

1:20 am             jeannevb:             @yeah_write i was going to say something inappropriate to that, but decided to keep my pimp hat off ha #scriptchat

1:20 am             dawnbierschwal:             First script I ever read was A Beautiful Mind. An Academy submission copy. Bought it on ebay. #scriptchat

1:21 am             scriptsnthings:             RT @dawnbierschwal @GoldenAgeofGeek @naultpullar Loglines are deceptively hard // Amen! #scriptchat

1:21 am             TravisLegge:             crap! i keep missing #scriptchat RT @jeannevb TravisLegge tell ur boy to do #scriptchat while u watch the movie ha

1:21 am             PennyAsh:             @dawnbierschwal It's like blurbs for novels, way harder than writing the story #scriptchat

1:21 am             karenquah:             @GoldenAgeofGeek Question Mike re:loglines. Some say this movie meets that, qualifies as logline. Others say it No. Which goes? #scriptchat

1:21 am             jeannevb:             says a lot comin fr u Xandy! RT @covermyscript: "network" was one of the best scripts ive read. #scriptchat

1:21 am             yeah_write:             I have a friend who does "short" festivals. 4 days to write, film and edit. Then present. Some are even shorter. #scriptchat

1:21 am             AllInky:             #scriptchat *Hardest* script to read for me was Soylent Green - excuse my spelling. Flat, flat, flat on the page, imho.

1:21 am             PennyAsh:             @yeah_write I liked the way they handles the whole thing, very original #scriptchat

1:21 am             naultpullar:             @dawnbierschwal Agreed and so crucial because no one will read your script if the logline sucks! :) #scriptchat

1:22 am             PennyAsh:             @GoldenAgeofGeek Neat I'll do that #scriptchat

1:22 am             NugzyBogues:             RT @ covermyscript: "network" was one of the best scripts i've read. #scriptchat <-- Great script!!!!

1:22 am             zacsanford2:             Hard to see it in the background, but how can I be inspired when the Hollywood sign is covered? http://www.twitpic.com/13bgyn #scriptchat

1:22 am             GoldenAgeofGeek:             @karenquah bottom line, a logline has to fully and succinctly sum up the movie #scriptchat

1:22 am             bradfordrich:             @AllInky People are food! #scriptchat

1:22 am             jeannevb:             do you all write the same genre or do u mix it up & try diff't ones... if not, why? #scriptchat

1:22 am             zacsanford2:             @KageyNYC That's what I'm currently doing with my work. All stuff in development currently has at least some of my work in it. #scriptchat

1:22 am             dawnbierschwal:             I find it easier now to write a log line before I start... and keeps me focused. #scriptchat

1:23 am             GoldenAgeofGeek:             @zacsanford2 Why they covering it? #scriptchat

1:23 am             PennyAsh:             Worst script so far While She Was Out. They totally missed the feel of the short story #scriptchat

1:23 am             jeannevb:             @zacsanford2 cool! #scriptchat

1:23 am             karenquah:             @covermyscript LOVED Network! Definitely up there with best screenplays of all time. @jeannevb #scriptchat

1:23 am             zacsanford2:             @kageyNYC But I'm even trying some other story ideas that the boss has. #scriptchat

1:23 am             NugzyBogues:             one thing i've noticed is that producers don't read your script if you don't have a detailed yet short treatment #scriptchat

1:23 am             zacsanford2:             @GoldenAgeofGeek It reads "Save the Peak" since some company is trying to come in and buy the land. #scriptchat

1:23 am             TravisLegge:             I like to mix it up horror comedy, even working on an action script #scriptchat

1:23 am             jeannevb:             I write the logline 1st too... helps w visualizing pitch #scriptchat


1:23 am             scriptsnthings:             @jeannevb I've been trying out different genres ... basically whatever I'm inspired to do. Inspiration leads me. #scriptchat

1:24 am             Joelsk_:             @KageyNYC and im a filmmaker looking for short scripts to use as practice to hone my filmmaking skills. working well for me :) #scriptchat

1:24 am             yeah_write:             @jeannevb Definitely mix it up, depending on the mood. Working on 3 different right now, but concentrating on one. #scriptchat

1:24 am             zacsanford2:             @NugzyBogues I've never asked for a treatment, but will request scripts off of pitches and one-pages. #scriptchat

1:24 am             covermyscript:             paddy is great. RT @jeannevb: says a lot comin fr u Xandy! RT @covermyscript: "network" was one of the best scripts ive read. #scriptchat

1:24 am             jeannevb:             @NugzyBogues hasnt been our experience. @dawnbierschwal & I have had scripts read FAR more than someone asking for treatment #scriptchat

1:25 am             zacsanford2:             @Joelsk_ You looking for any sort of genre on the short scripts? I'm sure I could bang something out for you. #scriptchat

1:25 am             jeannevb:             @Joelsk_ YES! U need KIM! (@kageynyc)... have u guys met? Kim's my friend, Joel... I'll give her ur email ;) #scriptchat

1:25 am             covermyscript:             @UncompletedWork is under the weather today, but he sends his valentine's day <3 to you all. #scriptchat

1:25 am             dawnbierschwal:             Haven't found that RT @NugzyBogues: thing ive noticed is that producers dont read script if you dont have a treatment #scriptchat

1:25 am             AllInky:             @zacsanford2 I think the land is bought, a group trying to buy it back. Price tag is like $12M with about $8m already raised? #scriptchat

1:25 am             NugzyBogues:             @zacsanford2 I'm just looking for that right person to pitch to! #scriptchat

1:25 am             bradfordrich:             @jeannevb it's always Fool Triumphant Action for me! #scriptchat

1:25 am             GoldenAgeofGeek:             Treatment is like a gun, you hope you never need it, but it's good to have around #scriptchat

1:25 am             scriptsnthings:             @yeah_write I have several going at the same time too. Thought I was weird doing that. Glad to know others do too. :D #scriptchat

1:25 am             jeannevb:             cool RT @VinnyJax641: @jeannevb I write Dark Comedy's, like Coen Brother's films #ScriptChat

1:28 am             yeah_write:             Has anyone here used Virtual Pitch Fest? #scriptchat

1:28 am             Joelsk_:             @yeah_write done the 48hr film fest last year. was crazy hectic but valuable lessons learnt. was like a short course #scriptchat

1:28 am             dawnbierschwal:             @covermyscript Agree... have never been asked for a treatment on an original script... just adaptation. #scriptchat

1:29 am             jeannevb:             I try to write more than 1 script at a time, but I end up focusing more on 1 than any other #scriptchat

1:29 am             scriptsnthings:             @yeah_write At first I thought doing multi project would be too confusing but I've found it helps keep the energy level up. #scriptchat

1:38 am             dawnbierschwal:             @yeah_write Yes, better to have more than one if possible. #scriptchat

1:38 am             jeannevb:             @GoldenAgeofGeek the 400 pgs of a novel dont scare me bc the handcuffs are off to some degree. U can write deeper #scriptchat

1:39 am             jeannevb:             @Joelsk_ ur personal pimp ;) #scriptchat

1:39 am             karenquah:             @covermyscript @jeannevb Agree about Eternal Sunshine & Kaufman in general. Deceptively simple yet infinitely twisted & genius! #scriptchat

1:39 am             jeannevb:             @GoldenAgeofGeek not just visually #scriptchat
1:39 am             PennyAsh:             @GoldenAgeofGeek True, and if it nits huge they'll be looking #scriptchat

1:39 am             dawnbierschwal:             Here's his site: http://www.screenplaymastery.com RT @NugzyBogues: have no clue who michael hauge is #scriptchat

1:40 am             zacsanford2:             Whoa... step away for a minute and the chat has passed me by. I thought it might be light around here tonight. #scriptchat

1:40 am             jeannevb:             @karenquah @covermyscript I cld use one of those memory losing pills some days ... oh wait... menopause will do that ha #scriptchat

1:40 am             covermyscript:             @karenquah i mean simple word choice. he doesn't over describe. he's like a painter, each brush stroke a word, simple, elegant. #scriptchat

1:40 am             karenquah:             @jeannevb @GoldenAgeofGeek Novels are great. No handcuffs. No whips. Pure vanilla. #cantwaittilljeannedoesnano #scriptchat

1:41 am             jeannevb:             @zacsanford2 EURO chat was dead... guess there's more romance over the pond ;) #scriptchat

1:41 am             shabanky:             @GoldenAgeofGeek @Zacsanford2 thanks! #scriptchat

1:41 am             JasonDalBianco:             @Joelsk_ I just watched several of your youtube videos. Cool stuff. You'd be fun to hang with when on LSD. #scriptchat

1:41 am             naultpullar:             Question - if a logline is bad would a studio, agent, producer, etc... even bother to look at the script? My thought is no. #scriptchat

1:41 am             karenquah:             @jeannevb @covermyscript re:memory losing pills Haha, epidurals do that too, i'm sure. Er, what were we talkin' about? #scriptchat

1:41 am             covermyscript:             @GoldenAgeofGeek im doing a feature now and a novel. the novel for me is easy. im focused and chatty. the long form 110 is hard. #scriptchat

1:42 am             AllInky:             #scriptchat Cross-media writing, script/novel esp., great for both forms. Keeps prose less purple, more visual. Helps script backstory.

1:42 am             covermyscript:             @yeah_write we went on thurs, was empty. we sounded like a slaughterhouse. but it was fun. 8 people in the bar. sang badly loud. #scriptchat

1:42 am             scriptsnthings:             Must run, folks. It was a fun chat tonight. Thanks to all who make this possible. ;D #scriptchat

1:42 am             karenquah:             @covermyscript uh-huh. he knows who he is, what he wants to say and why he wants to say it. And that is what makes him original. #scriptchat

1:43 am             jeannevb:             would any of u consider turning ur script into a novel if u cldnt get it sold for film? #scriptchat

1:43 am             zacsanford2:             @naultpullar Logline is your first impression. It will either make or break your chance of a read. Develop it thoroughly. #scriptchat

1:43 am             yeah_write:             @naultpullar If you can't create 1-3 interesting lines, how can you sustain 110 pages? At least that's what I think they'd think #scriptchat

1:43 am             jeannevb:             @naultpullar no, not in a million years #scriptchat

1:43 am             zacsanford2:             I'm just upset that someone took away my Mayor badge on FourSquare at Sardos. I must get it back #screenwriterkaraoke #scriptchat

1:43 am             karenquah:             @jeannevb absolutely. Doing that right now! re:turning script into novel. #scriptchat

1:44 am             mysummerbeard:             @jeannevb I've already considered it. Before even writing the screenplay ha #scriptchat

1:44 am             GoldenAgeofGeek:             @jeannevb planning on doing that for my third or fourth novel #scriptchat

1:44 am             naultpullar:             @jeannevb Tht's what I thought. #scriptchat

1:44 am             zacsanford2:             @jeannevb With @LifeSizeLD's project, we're going from script to book. Selling book and script will be ready to go. #scriptchat

1:44 am             jeannevb:             @mysummerbeard same here. I actually think script wld make gr8 outline for the novel @GoldenAgeofGeek #scriptchat

1:45 am             screamtweets:             @jeannevb graphic novel maybe... #scriptchat

1:45 am             PennyAsh:             @GoldenAgeofGeek @jeannevb And then try reducing 400 pages to a 50-150 word blurb :) #scriptchat

1:45 am             jeannevb:             @zacsanford2 @LifeSizeLD that's what I'm doing w 1 of my stories as well ;) #proactive ... always comes back to #worlddomination #scriptchat

1:45 am             covermyscript:             @karenquah totally. i was surprised at his dynamic simplicity. no other way to describe it. #scriptchat

1:45 am             zacsanford2:             But remember, if Hollywood passes on your script and then it becomes a book, it is still dead unless book becomes best seller. #scriptchat

1:46 am             PennyAsh:             @karenquah @jeannevb Loved Eternal Sunshine :) #scriptchat

1:46 am             GoldenAgeofGeek:             @jeannevb thing is I'm doing it James Paterson style which is lots of chapter. Ended up having as many chapt as script had pgs #scriptchat

1:46 am             jeannevb:             @naultpullar so its good u have loglines as homework assignment to get u ready ;) #scriptchat

1:46 am             Joelsk_:             @zacsanford2 at the moment i'm considering any genre but would love something conceptual. But want to try dif genres #scriptchat

1:46 am             GoldenAgeofGeek:             @zacsanford2 The good news is you have some control over how it sells by getting out there for book signings + promotions #scriptchat

1:47 am             jeannevb:             here's what sucks being a writing parent. My fever boy IS gonna get me sick & there goes my progress *sigh* #scriptchat

1:47 am             zacsanford2:             @naultpullar Before we sent a spec out to the marketplace, we spent hours and hours finessing the logline before posting it. #scriptchat

1:47 am             Joelsk_:             @JasonDalBianco hahahaha Thanks! I am trying to make my imagination real :P #scriptchat

1:47 am             covermyscript:             k. @UncompletedWork needs some matzo ball soup. i hear maid's bell dinging. see you later #scriptchat! xox happy <3 day!

1:48 am             zacsanford2:             @GoldenAgeofGeek Yes and no. With first time novelists the money to promote the book is usually non-existent. #scriptchat

1:48 am             jeannevb:             for all who arent following @Joelsk_ or @karenquah... they're fr OZ & two of my FAVES! ;) #scriptchat

1:48 am             AllInky:             #scriptchat I think the back-forth between script and prose can help hone both forms. It can help to strip to script form or noddle novels.

1:48 am             zacsanford2:             @GoldenAgeofGeek on a book we have hte rights to, good thing the writer had a background in PR which helped the book a LOT. #scriptchat

1:48 am             naultpullar:             @zacsanford2 I believe it. #scriptchat

1:48 am             zacsanford2:             @GoldenAgeofGeek but everything he did to promote the book was on his own dime with a very minimal advance. #scriptchat

1:48 am             KageyNYC:             @jeannevb Aaah, I'm in same boat - been upstairs/downstairs this whole chat w/not sleeping boy :( #scriptchat
