Introduce Yourself to the Group

[Timothy Barley]

1. Tim Barley

2. Written four screenplays, three pilots.

3. I have a great (IMHO) thriller and horror film that have both received some great feedback, but are not contest or pitch ready. I would love to get a strategy in place to do amazing rewrites!

4. The thriller mentioned in #3 is the result of four summers traveling across the county at night and witnessing the world that many don't see.

Hi, I’m Harry,

I’ve written half a dozen feature scripts, some shorts and a couple of pilots. One feature was optioned.

This class will give me a structure to address the many rewrites I need to do. I feel I butterfly around too much and I am appreciative of Hal and Cheryl’s approach to script structure. The script I’m going to work on will have a whole new facelift here as a way of learning how to address this issue. Hoping it will help greatly in my interactions with producers.

When you visit London please come and have a drink on deck with me. I live on a boat in Richmond-upon-Thames. Cheers.

Hi Moses!

Would you be interested in partnering with me for a bit?

Bill Young Jr.

[Bill Jr.]

I write under the name of Bill Young Jr.

I've written only 1 screenplay which is 99% done, but is insanely too long!!!

I need to be able to cut my current screenplay way down, and also be able in the future to write concise screenplays that can easily be made into movies (or series) without massive rewrites.

I can knock out great poems easily – but limited market for them. I also wrote seriously good technical manuals for border protection and airport protection.

Prose is much more a challenge, as I am way too wordy. I can make up stories by the bucket load, but writing them is harder.

I need help with posting. I wrote Assignment 1 as 2 text files [one for title and loglines, and one text file for 1-page story outline)P, but when I pasted the text files in here, all the text was one long line, no “new-line” points.

Do I need to edit it in this space to manually insert the new-line points, or is there another way to post my assignment content that will interpret the new-line characters in the original text files?

[Tom Carroll]

1. Tom Carroll

2. Two very bad scripts long ago.

3. I want to follow a repeatable process that involves thoroughly rewriting my first draft. It’s already working!

4. When I worked my last day job at The Home Depot, I nicknamed myself Cosmic Tom Carroll. It stuck. I retired at the end of 2023, but people who saw me in the store still remembered me by the nickname.

I love that.
