This was a long time coming, but today I finally got my arse into gear and decided once and for all to go ahead and book my year long trip to Canada!
My friends in Florida inspired me to just get on and do it, so the application form will be sent on my behalf by my sister, while I'm on vacation. All I need to do is wait for my flight date and then leave! I will hopefully be granted the June 14th departure date and will surely be bricking it in the last 4-5 weeks I'll have left in the UK!
How does one pack for one year away I wonder????!
So, the other important thing that I wanted to say, is that after some serious consideration, I'm interested in trying out some sort of media editorial/writing position. Now, does anybody know how would be best to go about looking for such work?
I'm of course interested in the movies, and writing, lol, but have no clue as to what kinds of roles to look for. Agent work? Promo work? Press work? Script-reviewing work??? Kevan actually also suggested something to me once which sounded very interesting, but I also have no knowledge of that either. I would very much like to see if I'm capable of obtaining work in this field, while living in Vancouver, to see if I can make a career out of it.
Does anyone have any ideas??? Any and all suggestions would be most appreciated!!
Love, Andy x x x
PS - Stewart, I'll be in touch shortly. I'm on vacation right now and am just trying to chill out before the chaos of leaving begins. Can't wait to FINALLY meet up and get better acquainted with you and your lovely wife.
The job you're referring to is called a "reader" this is the person everybody on this site wants to read their screenplays and give them perfect coverage so it gets recommended..
A script reader basically does just that but they are required to write coverage which includes a detailed outline/synopsis including mention of main characters, plots and subplots and the over all story and audience appeal etc.
You can find some overage at Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio's web site:
Too funny Rob. I will bring everything. I just need to find a way to make that happen.. lol! Thanks for the well wishes. I've got 3 weeks to go now. SCARY
Stew - we're sooooooooooooo going out to watch some World Cup games down the pub, ok? (That is if they don't clash with work) I cannot wait! I have to back England... but I am going to pick another country too... too bad neither Greece or Cyprus didn't qualify. Dammit.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say goodbye to everyone here as I'll be off to Vancouver early weds morning. I will try to pop in as often as I can though, so please everyone take care and keep in touch.
