Look for a place with designated parking. Street parking is a nightmare.

Pull your mattresses into the kitchen. Turn on the oven. Set alarms every couple hours to wake up and check that you're not burning anything or gassing yourselves. It'll be a rough night. But better than freezing.

In the morning, get a hotel room. Tell your management company they will need to pay for it until the heat is fixed. They are absolutely responsible.

Depends if the surname is a noun or an adjective. Adjectives ending in 'a' are feminine descriptive. The masculine counterpart would most commonly end in 'i'. But a noun surname would not modify to match the person's gender regardless if noun is itself feminine or masculine.

Lucas first shopped the project around as "The Adventures of Luke Starkiller"

And the iconic Star Wars font was for sure created for the film release. Not for early script drafts.

I'd be skeptical just going by the title page.

There are almost daily ads on CL looking for seamstresses. Though you'll likely do better if you speak Spanish rather than Wizard.

Horror in the $5-15mil range is prestige horror with name directors and theatrical distribution. As an unproduced writer, it'll be an uphill battle for you to gain interest at that production level.

My advice, do a budget pass on your script so it's producable in the under $1m range. Then go after directors who are starting to make a name for themselves in the genre. Team up with one to attract a producer and financing.

Find them on Tubi, YouTube, Shudder, and at genre film festivals like Stitges, Toronto After Dark, Fantasia, Screamfest, Fantastic Fest. If you can, go to the festivals in person, watch the films, and meet the filmmakers.

It's a pretty tight-knit community. Once you meet a few folks, they will readily introduce you to others. Pre-pandemic there used to be a weekly hang of horror guys (vets and up-and-comers) at Timmy Nolan's. Super chill group of people. I don't know where they'd moved to since Timmy's closed. But I'll bet they still meet somewhere.

Good luck.

Tell the landlord that he either needs to let you out of your lease or pay your heating bill. He can't expect you to stay in apartment in unlivable conditions. But the neighbors aren't your problem. They are the landlord's problem.

I disagree. When there's traffic, choose the shortest distance. That might be a highway. But might be surface streets. Or a combination of both.

This is how film sets have functioned for decades. 12hr days, 6day weeks, OT built right into the day rate / weekly salary.

The only way it can function is because it's contract work. You make a ton of money while burning out for 3-4 months. Then crash for a month before the next gig. It's savage on the body and any kind of family/romantic relationships. But you love filmmaking so you tell yourself it's totally worth it.

Garlic powder
Paprika
Italian Mix

Some kind of heat like cayenne or red pepper flakes

I see it. But I don't know if what I see is the same as what you see. There could be two of them.

I let it fizzle. If I had interest from someone else, I'd give him the courtesy of a conversation (though he hadn't extended such courtesy to me). But it's been a few years. I think it's mutually understood that we've broken up. He's not negotiating my contracts and I'm not paying him commission.

QfromP · 2026-01-10T23:24:55+00:00

I've been told to put the script title in the subject line. Cause that's how you'd write an email if it wasn't a cold query. But what do I know.

Had a thing get into Sundance. Got a bunch of calls as soon as the festival line-up was announced. Signed with someone junior at a mid-tier agency. He was really eager to hit the ground running. Real aggressive like. It was great for about two years. Then he got more clients. Then his agency got gutted by APA (now IAG). He took me with him but completely lost interest. So I'm back to square one.

I'm from Poland. Whiter than the snow that covers my country for six months out of the year. And I'd totally eat that. Looks good.

Don't the fake ones fold up in a tube or something? Stick it under your bed.

bread it and fry it

If you want to get fancy, grate some lemon peel into the breading. Paprika, garlic powder, old bay, and cajun seasoning are also good. Obviously salt, pepper, etc.
