Hope you got some money to write it. Hope one of your features gets made and you get paid. I want people to get paid, damn it

Yes, I've been paid. To be honest though, I'd rather have the film made.

But most of the time, they don't. So, it's good to make some money.
A lot of Hollywood screenwriters have 40-50 year careers with only one or two movies made.

I stopped doing the free stuff a couple of years ago. Although, I will still do something for free if the project is right. I work two writing jobs kinda full time at the moment... I'm freelance, so the work could end at any moment. Not like I'm set for life or anything, but I've been with both companies over a year. I adapt novels and movies into audio plays for one, the other job is writing cartoon scripts for an animation network.
I got paid to write a thriller for a 1st-time producer in Cali. Also paid to write a TV Pilot for a British rapper who now lives in Cali - I think he's keeping it in a drawer to show people. I sold one of my own spec features - Repercussions, a few years ago. I've been paid to write shorts too.
I haven't written anything for myself in a while. The last opportunity I had was with The Libertine at the last OWC. I have lots of ideas churning around, just no real time to write them.

Absolutely nothing. There was a website at one point, and a casting call with a couple of attachments. Then it just died. Never heard from the guy again. I know also, because it's happened to me with a couple shorts, that some projects are actually completely filmed and then run out of funds for post-production. Other projects come up, things happen, people take the hit and move on.

Just watched the trailer. It looks fantastic. Very creepy and atmospheric. Certainly, something I'd watch. Good job, Dustin. Keep us posted. Hope it gets made. David
