10 things I wish they taught me in film school, #screenwriter edition. 🧵
1.Networking is a long-term game.
It might seem like getting ‘access’ to industry gatekeepers is the most important thing. It is not. Building a genuine, long-term relationship is.

2.Competitions are a tool, not a goal.
Every new writer should enter competitions, but placements are only helpful if you go out and use them to hustle.
PS: @Coverfly has a waiver program for those who can’t afford it.

#2/9: PITCH & PLOT THAT DON’T MATCH UP

On this day 15 years ago, I sold my first #script. I put a hashtag in front of script because I’m not good at Twitter.

My career has had ups and downs since then, but overall I’ve felt very lucky to be a working writer the last 15 years. Some years were very tough, some were like a dream.

How I got reps is actually a long and crazy story in and of itself, so maybe I’ll tell that one another time, but in the early months of 2007, not too long after I graduated NYU, I was repped at mosaic and UTA. The script that got me repped was the 7th I had completed.
Seems like OTT platforms & TV channels we will soon see many Comics platforms that'd be an effective mean to test early stage marketability of stories & provide upselling confidence to movie producers. @NetflixIndia @SonyLIV @ZEE5India @DisneyHotstarIn @Disney @ComicConIndia

@Lumikai @SaloneSehgal Most of the games fundamental building block is Screenplay, Storyboard & Plot. Do you have any seed funding program for grass root comic artists? Seed funding to 3000 individual comics artist in the search of 1% good stories is much cost effective than
spending on 3000 production artist working on a game with a story that have never been tested in the market. #game #gaming #gamedev #gamedesign #comics #funding #investors #startup #incubation #avgc #founder #screenplay #Screenwriter

I am thinking about establishing #Comic pipeline. Demand for Content is increasing. Comics are the foundation of content because they are used as #storyboard for #movies, #advertising and #series. So I am thinking of a way to ease the #story #writing by usage of template and #AI
based #softwares. Something that speed up the concepting of #MentalModel of #protagonist and antagonist #characters. With lower in broadband price, establishment of home grown content channels like #Hotstar, #Zee5, #Voot, #Sonyliv, #Jio #TV, #AmazonPrime etc, the demand of
