This is odd.  All of a sudden today I got 4 requests from InkTip.  Bizzarre.  Maybe the universe heard my biotching.  

Phil...I took a look at Craigslist but only in my area.  I'll expand the search of course but I did learn where I need to go if I ever decide to delve into adult films.  FYI if anyone lives in the NJ area there was a call out for a heavy set guy with man b00bs.

Marnie, you are seriously looking in the wrong sections...

I check New York City and Los Angeles every day (usually twice a day).  I also check numerous other cities, both here and abroad.


Phil

I looked under JOBS - TV/Film/Video.   Just noticed under that there is a section called GIGS.  Is that where you mean?

Under GIGS, I look under writing.  And under JOBS, I look under writing/editing and under TV/film/videos.

WTF were you looking under?


Phil

JOBS - TV/FILM/VIDEO...obviously the meeting place for adult film actors and filmmakers.  

must be a Jersey thing...

Eek!  Definitely the wrong place to be looking.  I don't think those types of filmmakers rely on scripts...  

@ Kevin...LOLOLOL  Disturbing.  

Quoted from dogglebe I tell those interested in my shorts to keep away from my underwear (wait for laughter to end).  I tell these filmmakers that I want the following if they're going to shoot my scripts: 1.  I get sole writing credit. 2.  I do all the rewrites. 3.  I get two copies of the finished film on disc. 4.  I want to be kept advised of the production.  That usually means that I e-mail these people once a month.  I expect a reply. 5.  I get the right to make copies of the finished work, and distribute them, for personal use. I don't give away my rights to the script; I'm letting them use it.

I agree with basically everything you've said here. But why two copies? Not that I disagree but it's definitely more particular then a copy? What's the merit? Or rather... What am I missing here? Honestly curious to know the significance.

Also, how do you get producers to keep you consistently informed on production, especially if you write them once a month? I've had generally good relationships with producers but I'm well aware this is not a common occurrence.

Why two copies?  Incase I lose one.

I've had directors/producers have delay after delay after delay on shooting.  If they stop replying to my e-mails, I send them one saying that I'm revoking their rights to use my script.  This won't stop them from shooting it.  Will this necessarily stop them?  Not really...

Quoted from Pale Yellow This is an interesting thread. I'm brand new and believe it or not...I've had someone contact me about the last four shorts I've posted. Two this week ...one I'm calling tonight about my most recent 'No Experience' short

That's great news Dena, I understand it will probably come to nothing but it must be such a big confidence boost which is always good. Good luck with it, keep us informed with how you get on?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that rated G films and G strings are not sympatico.

E.D.

I'm certainly no expert or professional in filmmaking or writing, but surprisingly, I've been contacted about 3 of the 5 scripts I have written.  One of them is a short script, and so far is the only project that came to fruition.  Another script I wrote unfortunately didn't work out because it was partially based on another story.  I'm currently discussing with the filmmaker who contacted about the third script.  In addition, a fourth filmmaker contacted me about a cowriting job, which I'm currently discussing.

I know you probably heard this already, but I think what attracts filmmakers to your script is that its unique or different in some way.  For me, there are few gay drama films out there, and filmmakers who want to make a gay-themed film sort of have to single them out when looking for a script.  The story should be creative and something that hasn't been done often, and of course it has to be filmable.
