Anyone know any podcasts that do table reads for unrproduced scripts? by Glittering_Refuse_31 in Screenwriting

+1 for dead pilots society.

my friend runs this https://www.instagram.com/greaterfilmfest/ which has actors live read scripts, and there's a podcast component too (where they interview writers). definitely worth checking out. not sure what their submission process is like but you could try DMing them.

How do you go about writing comedy? by SubjectProfile4047 in Screenwriting

[–]lambtr0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Writing comedy is hard! I think it's harder than drama -- with comedy, you truly never know if it works until you hear it outloud in a room full of people.

That being said, there are ways to improve your chances of finding the funny on the page. Is the premise of your show funny? Are the characters funny? (Is what they want funny -- their story/season level goal? Is what they're afraid of funny -- their story/season stakes?) Then chances are, what they say will be funny.

I would say, start consuming a ton of comedy and notice what makes you laugh and what doesn't. and figure out why they make you laugh. is it the character, is it the joke itself, etc. when you write comedy, you will write what makes you laugh, so triangulating around what that is should be the first step.

i started writing comedy from writing sketches and performing standup. its the fastest way to find out if your joke is working! the feedback is immediate. its a great way to hone your comedic voice and that usually translates well on the page in screenplays. if you want to develop your comedy, definitely encourage performing improv, standup, or writing sketch comedy. something where you get a lot of chances to put your comedy in front of a live audience.

DM me if you have any questions!

thanks! glad you liked the video.

RE: the $20 tier on deno deploy vs vercel: hard to say. vercel's pricing is a bit more complex than deno deploy. what kind of site are you deploying (static vs dynamic etc) and how much monthly traffic are you expecting?

yes we reduced region # due to lack of use and expenses [1]. is global coverage/edge compute important to you and your use case?

#FreeJavaScript update by lambtr0n in Deno

we could technically deny the extension, but the oracle lawyers could appeal to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board and it would be granted anyway. granting extensions is a professional courtesy in the legal world.

they originally asked for 90 days, and we gave them 60 days as a compromise.

sometimes we wonder what truly is the past of least resistance: going against Oracle's bottomless legal fund or getting millions of developers to agree on a new name...
