Nothing turns a reader off more than an opening that doesn't show craft and care and that certain something all great scripts have. - David Stem If you’re new, and the above statement scares you, that’s okay; every one of us feels a lot of emotions when sharing our pages. Family members and friends are rarely trained story analysts; hence, we need other writers to give us useful and effective feedback. Come to the premium live coaching with David Stem and the Writers Forge community. Not part of the Premium plan? Reach out to David Stem. Here’s where you post your pages and casting.

Folks, if you were on the call earlier this week, we got to talking about a movie night, which I also saw @Lena Lieuvin talking in a thread about having a list of great movies that members like.. @Piter Marek and I chatted after the group and thought, "Ok, we can pitch pilots for shows, movies, etc." We could vote on a show or a movie, or we could have an ongoing list that we slowly burn through. THINGS TO THINK ABOUT not everyone has every streaming service. I personally have the cheap version of Netflix with commercials, and that’s it for paid streaming services. But of course, there are also streaming services such as Tubi or Plex that have great content and are free with commercials. TELEPARTY The other idea I thought of is I’ve used the app "Teleparty," which allows a group of people to watch a movie together, but we all have to have, for example, a Netflix account. But it also runs Tubi. There’s no need to buy the Teleparty premium package; I’ve always used the free version, and it’s been fine. I realize that may not work for some in terms of time zones, so if, in the end, we vote to watch them on our time and then get together and discuss, that is fine by me. FRAMING THE MOVIE NIGHT Could be looking at Genre, theme, character development etc... Give us your thoughts below.

Another week is about to start. Please get your pages and casting up on the link. Make sure you either place your pages on March 17 for Tuesday or March 20th for Friday on the program link above. Screenwriting is hard. You have to be very courageous to put yourself out there and be willing to accept that your pages will need to be rewritten, revised, and sometimes torn to shreds in the process of making something great. To paraphrase our fearless leader, David Stem, the magic happens when writers stop protecting drafts and start refining them in real time and revealing all of themselves to other writers.
