@Godfrey Virgile hey, would you email me or post your sides? We read today up here. I’d like to give it a proper read.

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. Here's the link for the TUESDAY Premium Coaching Call ====================================== Here's the link for the FRIDAY Premium Coaching Call

Apple just approved it. This is the moment. Here's what ScriptReader does: it performs your screenplay aloud to you. Your characters. Your dialogue. Your scenes. With distinct voices for every role. You stop reading your script and start hearing it — which means you catch what your eye skips right over. I built this for you. For us. And right now, the beta is open. First 50 people get to try it free. That's it. No waitlist after that. Here's all you do: Step 1 — Download TestFlight. It's Apple's free beta testing app (iOS only — Android coming later.). Takes 30 seconds. → https://apps.apple.com/us/app/testflight/id899247664 Step 2 — Once TestFlight is on your phone, tap this link to join the beta: → https://testflight.apple.com/join/BVXKtFRD You get 30 minutes free. Use every second. Then come back and tell me everything — good, bad, whatever you actually think. That's the deal if you're one of the 50 who downloads. That feedback shapes what this becomes. Also, these 3 questions are hugely important: 1. Did it work? Could you get your script in and hear it play back without hitting a wall? Yes or no — and if no, where did it break? 2. What surprised you? Good or bad. What did you learn about your script? 3. Would you pay for this? Based on what this cost me, I cannot give this away for free. So if yes, what's a fair monthly price? The link is live. The clock is running. Don't download unless you're committed to giving feedback. If you are, comment: 🔥 below. And let's get to work! Go. 🎬 Edit: there are def some spacing issues with how it differentiates between characters and action. They sometimes run together. This is something I’m addressing in the next build. This build is more about… does it work at all. And don’t forget to try the Forge Analysis and see how that reads.

I am grateful for the people who showed up and sat together and worked on our stories. The in bettween sprints chat was great everyone talking of their progress. @Godfrey Virgile @Thia Markson @Anna Fermin @Liv Colorin @Chris Dyer @Piter Marek @Pia Crawford @David Hinnebusch @David Stem

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.
