Some things I learned from the Opening Conference …
– It is more important to move forward and learn the process than to try and make any one element of the process perfect.
– Use the empowerment process before every task.
– That distinction between active due to deadlines and empowerment // and not-active due to stuck and fantasy were very helpful.

Yes I agree to the agreement.

Hi my name is David Pisani.
I have written dozens of short screenplays and a handful of feature length screenplays.
In this class I would like to write a super feature length screenplay that I am excited to send out to producers and agents … and also learn a methodology to help me write efficiently at a very elevated level for the rest of my writing career.
Something interesting — last year I directed and produced a short screenplay I wrote entitled “Philadelphia Bound.” This past Saturday it was awarded “Best Dramatic Short Film” at the 20224 Albany Film Festival.

Hello Everyone,
My name is David Pisani.
I have written two feature screenplays and many, many short screenplays.
My two goals for the class: 1) Write an “A” level feature screenplay that will be received well by agents, managers, and contests. 2) Learn a repeatable model of creating high level feature length work in a time efficient manner.
I left the corporate world about 10 years ago, took a six-week editing class in NY City, and a few months later “somehow” ended up the film editor on an independent feature that screened at more than 15 festivals. This July I am producing / directing a short screenplay I wrote.
I am looking forward to learning a lot!

I agree to the terms of this release form.
GROUP RELEASE FORM
As a member of Writing Incredible Movies, 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, through social media, or in any other way that would make those processes, teleconferences, videos, 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.
