action script?

I may - and I stress the word MAY - be in a position to do someone a favor and get it in front of some well-capitalized people. Again, I stress the word 'may', and also stress the words 'production ready'; no first or second drafts, this has to be something ready to go and something you've been ready to shop or have started to shop. PM me if you have it...

I think The Burnout option runs out at the end of this month.  I'll let you know in two weeks.

Probably too late by then - this guy has some things he's looking at that are ready, but he wants to dip his toe in other waters to see if there's something better. Keep in touch with me about it though just in case...

And I'm starting to hear about a lot of these type of opportunities, and I'm rarely in a position to take advantage of them myself because I know my limitations - I'm a character / dialogue / quirky situations type writer, and a lot of what I hear about is horror and action.

I'm sure Pia, Phil, E.D., Breanne, and some others are starting to hear about these things as well...

So a word of advice - pick ONE thing, polish it to a high sheen, get good coverage on it, make sure you have an intro package on it (query letter, synopsis / fact sheet, attachments if any, budget top sheet would be good, character breakdowns are helpful), and then be ready to pounce when something comes up...

Unfortunately, this is the only action script I have ( it's actually sci-fi/action).  We'll see what happens.

Phil,
Why don't you show him the script now, and if he really likes it he can decide to wait the two weeks before doing any deals?


'Artist' is not a term you should use to refer to yourself. Let others, and your work, do it for you.

I can definitely agree with this! Cindy has been contacted by a well known director too.

Maybe the purse strings are starting to open up again?

Hey Alffy, good to see you back. You can trust that anything I've read before I still have in the back of my mind in case a match arises.

Right now I'm passing around leads out of the goodness of my heart (well, okay, that's not completely true - I'm sure any lead I hand out will have crumbs I can then sweep up for GA); however, eventually, it's likely I'll join my agent's production company in an official capacity and scout projects for a living.

I like writing, but I like this producer stuff as well - I think I have a knack for it...

I'm still keeping tabs on Grand Avenue and glad it's still going well and producing too.  Best of luck with it all.

I have an action thriller script I sent out to some potential reps to check out. I haven’t done anything other than write it and send it out to some people who wanted to see it. It’s literally hot off the grill.

It’s got a lot of action. I don’t know if it could be descried as high octane, though. I didn’t sacrifice heart for action. I feel it’s got plenty of both.

I don’t know if that sounds like what you’re looking for. You didn’t mention a budget range but that’s the closest thing I have to what you describe.

Breanne,

High octane would be anything Jason Statham / Vin Diesel-ish...

Sounds like it’s not what you’re looking for.

Wish you the best, though. Hope you find the right script!

That's sooo strange Bert, I'm wearing that right now...

Just to be clear I have no horse in the race here - just networking with a guy who read GA a while back and who's looking for this type of script. And he has some already, and one will get made - this was just a chance to knock the big kid off the top of the monkey bars...
