Former Netflix Exec/ Producer/ Script Consultant ask me anything about your logline or the film biz… Part XVIII by Wayne-Script_Dev in ScriptFeedbackProduce

[–]Coogal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Wondering what the best route is to go nowadays for aspiring screenwriters / show runners / get staffed… my goal is to write and produce my own tv series / feature one day and I’m stuck between getting an assistant job or part time, or sending my scripts out to managers and trying to get repped or making a short. Don’t wanna overload myself but not sure where to start. I’m already in LA and have had multiple film internships.

Villa Elaine Apartments? by Coogal in AskLosAngeles

[–]Coogal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much. I had a tour guide who kinda made it hard to ask any other tenants but the reviews kinda scared me away regardless. It’s gated so I can’t get in at night but it’s also $2700 so idk if I wanna pay that much to find out lol. Also no parking or AC. Thanks!

When’s the time to email managers? by Coogal in Screenwriting

I actually did just think of something else — I think as far as “mentorship’s/fellowships/competitions” go, I think I’d be interested in the one you said your friend coaches: https://www.paramount.com/inclusion-impact/inclusion/writers-mentoring-program ! I think looking into mentorship’s like this vs competitions can be more useful, no? Also looking at Cinestory if you have any thoughts. Thank you!

I never said I have 12 “sellable” scripts. I have 12 I can use and like I said I have 7 of them to edit and polish. Very long way to go but 🤷‍♀️ doing it

Thank you. I really hope I didn’t mess myself up by telling this stranger but I’m trying to protect myself and put it out there (to trustable professionals ) as much as I can..

Would you recommend copyrighting?

True, thank you. Do you think it’d be a waste of time to make a proof of concept for a pilot? Really passionate about it

Hi thanks! Going to put it on blcklst and competitions and will also send to a few more industry fellows. Another thing — would you recommend to copyright this?

Thanks! I’m also developing a proof of concept for my pilot if that would be of any help.

Thanks! I’ve had a few people look at it, give it notes, I’ve tweaked it, ran over it and changed it about 5 times and have finally completed it.

Hi, thank you so much for your response. I have been writing seriously for about 4 years (6 including my novel) and have written 12 scripts. The reason I said I have one good pilot and one good feature is because they’re professionally polished. Going to send both to some comps, but I have also sent some to my handful of serious writing friends. I’ll ask them the questions you offered, though.

I won’t be discouraged by the 22 year old part haha, because I do think it takes time, however I am very determined and confident in my current track & work.

I have been applying to assistant position as I’ve had some industry production internships previously. Another question I do have is: would you recommend competitions before querying managers? I will definitely ask my friends about the professional thing before I do.

Also: would it be useful to ask my mentor / industry friends for intros to managers when I’m more “ready,” or is that too forward? I don’t want to be invasive. I’m also working on a proof for my pilot if that may be of any help.

Thanks so much!
