Yeah, I think it's gonna come out good. There were numerous directors interested, even had one attached way back then when I was trying to put together that overly ambitious horror anthology project. But this guy has a firm understanding of the type of horror -- a fellow Troma fan. Thanks, Steve!

Whoa, awesome. Congrats, Michael!

Keep us, ah, posted.-A

WOW... 7 Years! Well done and congrats.

Yeah, once you write a script here, it stays. I've had scripts get picked up as long as 12 years after I originally posted them on here -- though Soda Machine wasn't sold through here, the director is already filming another short I wrote (today, actually) and he asked if I had any other scripts lying around. Didn't think he'd be interested in this one, but he loved it and gave me some money for it. But I've sold/optioned shorts and features before that never got made... yet. But he convinced me that this will be made and already laid down some groundwork, so I'm excited. Just goes to show, you never when something will get picked up. Kinda takes luck sometimes though, having the right person stumble upon the right script at the right time.

Thanks for reply.
Re- been noticed / found here on SS - I had actually NOW just posted on QUESTIONS & COMMENTS. Of which LC give good in-site.

That's the break we all (new guys) want to hear! It just takes that ONE script to be noticed... for the others to be seen. For me- Its why I keep writing.

Thanks for the motivation.      

Congrats, mate

Thanks, Dave.

Congrats bro!

So, a friend of mine suggested I join Clubhouse so I could submit a horror short to his friend, Jed Shepherd's, upcoming horror anthology - Jed was the writer of my favorite horror film of the past 5 years and possibly the best found footage horror film EVER, "Host" (on Shudder). He's also working with Blumhouse and Sam Raimi on some stuff as well. He was also a guest on the "Chatting With Asta" podcast (which I was also a guest on).

Anyway, I joined Clubhouse, even though I'm really not too familiar with it and I submitted a few shorts... and a short I had on here a while back called "The Soda Machine" was a quarter finalist, making the top 40! I find out whether I make the top 20 on the 14th and will find out whether or not I'm one of the 10 shorts picked for the horror anthology.

I was gonna post this under the script's thread, but I think I had it taken down after I sold it a few years back -- the producer (who's a friend of mine) was kind enough to return the rights back to me after the film was never made. This is a script I wrote 8 years ago and my favorite short I've ever written, so it's cool to get things going again. It's one I wanted to get filmed really, really badly. So, to see that there's a strong possibility that it could be part of a horror anthology created by really proven horror folk is really thrilling. Crossing my fingers!

Congrats, Michael!! That's exciting news yo! I sincerely hope that you make it to the top 10 and get included in the anthology.  

Best wishes.

Exciting stuff.

I would cross my fingers for you but you don't need luck, you're a killer storyteller.

I Hope this one goes all the way

Congrats mate!

Double congrats! You're on a roll.

Very nice! COngrats, buddy.
