Quoted from TonyDionisio
Gender and age discriminating.



Gender and age discrimination in Hollywood is the purpose behind the contest.

Who ended up entering? Kham? Did you get yours in? I hope you did!! I had fun reading it.

I was going to say the same thing.

Take a deep breath, Tony, and recognize the gender and age bias that already exists in the world of Hollywood, and the film world in general, and you'll recognize the attempt to right the balance with this and other contests of its ilk - and of course thanks to Don for sponsoring the cause.

Good luck to all who are entering.

Hey, just seeing this - yeah, I rewrote some based on your feedback and got it in. It's still severely underdevelopped, so I couldn't use Don't offer.
I don't even know why I submitted - probably because I planned to - but I know it's a waste of money. Now I want to let the script sit a bit and in a while I'll read it with fresh eyes. I've been told by another reader that set up is all wrong, let's see.

I definitely needs work but the contest stated the feature only had to be complete and it could be in any stage of development it just need a beginning, middle and end. I thought you were just trying to clean it up enough to enter. They're looking for projects to develop which is why they said it didn't have to be polished to enter.

Best of luck to the ladies who entered and thank you Don for the support. To you it may have just been an entry fee, to us the confidence you have in your group of writers is priceless.

Or you can let everyone enter but grade your target group on a curve. lol, don't do that, it's a stupid idea. I prefer to 'right the balance' with the best 'talented work', but hey... that's just me.

However, it's good that there is persuasion such as this if it helps to motivate.

If you think women's lack of achievement in the movie business is entirely due to a lack of merits, then you need to do some research. There's a demonstrable bias against women in the entertainment industry. Men already enjoy an unfair advantage. It's funny that guys like you never stand up for women in the face of the clear evidence that women are marginalized,yet the second women take the slightest step toward leveling the playing field, guys like you come out of the woodwork to take a great big dump on it.

Hmm, the name calling post seems to have been removed. No matter. I still saw it.

See the little smiley face? Means im messing around. But, if some want to resort to name calling and then others +1 it, that's okay too. I think you should check out the other recent thread about constructive criticism. Name calling hurts me so much <--- note the wink.

lol.

I hope this thread doesn't get trolled by angry Femi-Nazi's. It would diminish the objective of actually getting fellow board members opportunities to have their work shine.

Sarcasm often translates poorly on public forums.

But more important than that, it is ill-advised to taunt our writer-girls at all.

Seldom does that end well.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

It was fun to enter this competition and I thank Don for telling us about it.  

I know it seems odd and unfair to have particular age and gender prerequisites but almost everything is (odd and unfair, I mean).  

Hugs to the girls who participated!

No, you're above that sort of thing...

That can't possibly be you name calling. You wouldn't do that.

Sure you were. The old "just kidding" defense, eh?
