This is a great, welcoming community. Let us know what your screenwriting journey is that brought you here. What movies you love, where you're from, and what was the moment that made you want to be a writer. You've finally found a place to explore that with other encouraging film lovers. Remember, you don't have to face the blank page alone!

We have our weekly New Member Coaching Call on Monday: Here's the link for the Zoom. Instead of just getting to know each other, I want to put a couple of you in the Hot Seat and go through the first few pages of your script. Why? Because NOTHING kills a read faster than your first scenes not jumping off the page! It's the #1 Rule in my 10 Iron Clad Rules for a Writing Life. Make me love you by page 2, or gtfo. The truth is, agents/managers/producers will stop reading immediately if you don't nail the opening. And my way of teaching is... I don't believe in simply telling you what to do, since we all have blind spots. The best form of coaching is when I take YOUR work and put you on the Hot Seat and you get real time feedback on how your material plays live. Now... who's in for some coaching? Drop your first 7 pages below. And I'll see you Monday morning. Oh, and make sure to read everyone's work between now and then so you (and they) get the most out of Hot Seat coaching.
