[Alok Das]

Hi,

I am Alok Das. I am in my 50s, originally from India. More than 10 years back I attended the Prague Film School and made a short film that was part of the showcase for the graduating class. I had scripted, directed and produced the film. I have not written any other scripts after that.

I want to get back to writing scripts that are produceable on a tight budget and deadline, so thought working on a contained script will be the best way to start.

I have had a chequered carreer – mainly as an educationist and entrepreneur in the internet space and have been living in an European city for the last 2 decades working in the education sector. I got busy working on other skillsets that I wanted to build over these years, but had kept a tab on evolving technologies on the production and distribution of video content. Now I am an app developer and work with myriad technologies in the Web2/Web3 domain.

I hope that I will be able to devote the time and commitment to get the maximum out of this course.

Greetings to all the other participants. Great to know that the desire to learn never stops even for people who have so many finished projects under their belts. Looking forward to learning from all of you.

regards,

Alok

I agree to the terms below –

GROUP RELEASE FORM

As a member of this group, I agree to the following:

1. That I will keep the processes, strategies, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class confidential, and that I will NOT share any of this program either privately, with a group, posting online, writing articles, through video or computer programming, or in any other way that would make those processes, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class available to anyone who is not a member of this class.

2. That each writer’s work here is copyrighted and that writer is the sole owner of that work. That includes this program which is copyrighted by Hal Croasmun. I acknowledge that submission of an idea to this group constitutes a claim of and the recognition of ownership of that idea.

I will keep the other writer’s ideas and writing confidential and will not share this information with anyone without the express written permission of the writer/owner. I will not market or even discuss this information with anyone outside this group.

3. I also understand that many stories and ideas are similar and/or have common themes and from time to time, two or more people can independently and simultaneously generate the same concept or movie idea.

4. If I have an idea that is the same as or very similar to another group member’s idea, I’ll immediately contact Hal and present proof that I had this idea prior to the beginning of the class. If Hal deems them to be the same idea or close enough to cause harm to either party, he’ll request both parties to present another concept for the class.

5. If you don’t present proof to Hal that you have the same idea as another person, you agree that all ideas presented to this group are the sole ownership of the person who presented them and you will not write or market another group member’s ideas.

6. Finally, I agree not to bring suit against anyone in this group for any reason, unless they use a substantial portion of my copyrighted work in a manner that is public and/or that prevents me from marketing my script by shopping it to production companies, agents, managers, actors, networks, studios or any other entertainment industry organizations or people.

This completes the Group Release Form for the class.
