Someone had to do it, so...

Happy New Year all!

My goals are simple. Sell two features. I mean, yeah, I gotta write them first and all, but that's pretty much it.

And I've been reading a helluva lot of scripts lately, and having a lot of fun with it.

That said, best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year. Much thanks to the Don!

Steve

For 2020, I want to complete the 1st draft for some of the scripts I thought of the previous year.

$7,000,000
GENERATION: DOOMSDAY.
Iconic
The City That Murder Built

Thanks for starting this Steve! I will be posting my comment as soon as I get home later this afternoon. I have only used my phone for the last couple of weeks. I thought I would be reading and writing a lot on vacation, but I only open my laptop ones LOL. There was no Internet, so I closed it up and put it away. All I can say is the Twenty20 better be more productive than 2019!  

My goal is simple:  Be more productive than last year.

In my defence 2019 was an Annus Horribilis on the homefront.
Regardless, I enjoyed my SS Mod duties, managed a few Blog reviews, and second place in one round of the Writer's Tournament was a highlight.

Happy New Year, all!  

Some of mine:

Vote
See The Rise of Skywalker (and possibly Solo) and FINALLY get caught up on Star Wars (Maybe try not releasing one every year, Bob)
Catch up on the last six Marvel movies
Read more
Write more
Get audiophile-grade speakers and receiver
Get the rest of everything I need to enjoy vinyl (anti-static brush, stylus cleaner, poly inner sleeves, aforementioned speakers, possibly external pre-amp if RCA cable doesn't reach)
Complete this one short film I had been shooting for a few years and am just now editing (I'm currently working on compositing a green screen sequence one frame at a time... It's complicated, since it's a foreground, background, and mid-ground.)
Film more shorts
Watch more Blu-rays and DVDs now that I have a new player
Finish at least season 2 of Game of Thrones

My main focus is to get the Cyborn novel published and an agent. I'm gathering lists (checking them twice) and sending out query letters. I'll also be looking for network/pitching sessions I can go to.

I will continue with writing screenplays. I'm prepping The Broken Kingdom TV pilot and Bible for pitching at the London Screenwriting Festival in April.

Although 2019 was a great year, I was terribly unproductive as far as anything creative goes. So, my 2020 goals are simple. Get back to being creative dammit! Read more, write more, film more. Finish up those features that are either near finished or just in first draft form. Write new scripts! Shoot at least two short films! One of which I want to be a sequel to Them That's Dead. Them That's Undead. Yes, a zombie pirate film hopefully shot at Fort Matanzas in FL. Unless I can find a fort type thing even closer.

Let's get this creative year started!!!  

No goals for 2020. 2019, I don't think I tried and failed so much as I ran my mouth (keyboard, rather) and didn't follow through. Less talking, more doing would be preferable. Less talking, less doing, even. See what happens...

Happy New Year, all!

My goal is to make it to 2021 - rinse and repeat

My goals are same as Libby and Pia's... as outside of a few shorts I was pretty unproductive last year and made a bunch of crap excuses as to why.

Oh and be more regular on here in terms of contribution and on the Opportunity posts which have been somewhat Ad Hoc of late

Happy New Year to all!

To finish a feature and get one, just one short film actually made....

Okay, time to set some goals...

1) Crowd fund the first 3 issues of the Shaka comic. Issue #1 set to hit Kickstarter in March. 3 was ambitious especially with COVID, but it looks like issue 1 will fund which means issue 2 will happen and we should get it up before the end of the year.

2) Enter all 2020 OWC's. Zero entered to date, actually entered one but pulled the script on the first day because I couldn't commit to reading.

3) Finish at least one feature, be it one in progress or a new one completely. Not even close

4) Write my first pilot ever. Nope

5) Have one short produced.  Completed!! A New Present was filmed and looks amazing, even if I say so myself. It even had a song written specifically for it by Dutch musician Alain Clark. I have it stuck in my head constantly. Also had The Painter produced.

Pretty similar goals to last year but I think they cover most bases in terms of writing and content creation. I'm super excited about what this year might hold.

Good luck everyone, hopefully it's a productive 2020.

Quoted from Warren 2) Enter all 2020 OWC's.

Speaking of...      

I'll play! Nothing like putting a little heat on yourself by publicly proclaiming goals.

1. Stop eating at my computer.
2. If not 1, then stop spilling food on me while eating at my computer.
3. Get into Imagine Impact.

If 3, then go where it takes me. If not 3, then...

4. Finish current feature rewrite project.
5. Start and finish one new existing feature idea. Also, start developing another existing idea.

(Dammit! Number 1 and 2 are out. Stupid mayonnaise!)

6. Enter all OWCs.
7. Get at least one short made.
8. Take another run at finally getting Bad Fish right.
9. Something unexpected. Good unexpected. I'm open. (Might I suggest to the universe: get a manager?)

Guess I'm off to a better start than last year. Wrote a 5 pager for someone today. He might not like it, but I wrote it and that's a good start.
