Ian brought in pages from Kilo, his new dive/cartel/family-business thriller. He walked us through how the idea started as messy notes from a real diving story, became a scriptment, and is now turning into actual pages. Then the group jumped in and read it out loud. Chad read Kyle. Elliot Moss read Becks. David Hinnebusch narrated. Pia, Lena, Chris, Thia, and others stepped into roles and helped bring the pages to life. We also heard from Tim Elliott about Son of the 11th Hour, the faith-based independent film he’s executive producing, and then read from his JFK/Lee Harvey Oswald script-in-progress. That’s what Premium is. Real writers, pages and project. Not theory or vague encouragement or "writers" talking about "writing"... some day. Members are bringing in scripts, testing scenes, hearing their work out loud, getting feedback, and helping each other make the pages better while the work is still alive. If you’re a Standard Member and you want to be part of these live coaching calls, table reads, and work-in-progress sessions, upgrade to Premium. This is where the work gets real.

THANK YOU @Chris Dyer for this incredibly informative presentation and talk. As you can see it ran well over our one hour time slot, but it's jam packed with useful and actionable information. Thanks to everyone who came. It was great to see how many of you were there in person. Great group! If any members have questions about Chris' talk OR would like to discuss specifics about your own project with Chris, please feel free to message him directly. We are so grateful for your knowledge sharing and generosity with this community, Chris. You're awesome!

Thank you to everyone that came to hang out and chat. Also we got some work done. Even Shopping done. And a bit of studying. ( I have been studying Michael Jackson’s short films. I used to watch them as a kid. And now looking at them as a creative. It’s been so interesting ( but I am such a huge MJ fan already though ) I love this community- just meeting up. Working and chatting. Getting stuff done. Thank you for coming @Chad Desrochers @Thia Markson @Isaac Tut @Chris Dyer @David Hinnebusch @David Stem @Jason Smith hope you all have a great day and I will see you tomorrow 🥰

Excited to see you all there. Let’s get some work done. Let’s chat. Let’s go! https://www.skool.com/live/3JtGgwmDGwn It’s a great time to come together. Share what we’re working. Writing or other work. 🥰🖤

Hi everyone! I'm Jen and I'm a filmmaker from Victoria, BC, Canada. So excited to be here. I've written and directed both live action and animation and am here specifically to get a horror script I've been working on for seemingly my entire life into the best shape it possibly can be. Looking forward to connecting with other writers and cheering each other on!
