Thank you so much everyone, what you all told me helped a lot, I got more to say, but I'm celebrating with my girlfriend, so I will give you the whole scoop in a bit.  You have all been a great help and I thank you all

Oh yeah sure, now we're gonna have a guy walking around here like he's all high and mighty just because he's in the "business".  I can smell the ego in here already.



BTW....Congratulations

Don't worry about that

The interview went great, I told them that I was nervous and they were like, I'd be worried if you weren't...lol.

the director was great, he's one helluva character, he was very interesting.

now here's the kicker.  I told them about this site and they asked me if I read anything here that was good, and I told them yes, so they said would I be interested in asking any of the writers here if they would sumbit anything, and I told them, I would ask.

now they are sending me some scripts to read tomorrow, but when I am finished with those I am going to pm the person who's script I want to send to these people.  now this doesn't mean it will be optioned, but I woould want permission from the author that it is alright to submit this, so by next week one of you will be getting a pm from me.  There is more than one here that I think would make a great film, but I am only going to do one at a time, right now they are looking for horror/suspense, so it is one of those.

so thanks again everyone for your helpful words of encouragment.  I can't wait to see where this will lead.

They're throwing you right into the mix, huh?  That's pretty cool.

Being able to suggest things you've read on here may work out real well for a lot of people, including you.  There's a lot of really good, undiscovered stuff on here, that's for sure.

So what's the deal with a job like that, anyway?

How many do they expect you to read, like, in a week?  And do they expect a bunch of comments from you, or just a "Yes", "No", or "Maybe"?

It sounds interesting.  Give a few more details if it won't get you in trouble or anything.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

Thanks Macduff, that be funny 2 see you there.

Bert, They would like me to read about 5-6 scripts a week, and they want me to do script coverage on each script, they are sending me a template on how they want it done, then it's basically three piles that u mentioned, "yes", "no", and "maybe"

Way to Go.
You are the Man 2.  I guess Mike is the Man 1.
What is this, Good Thursday?
Hey, if any of our scripts drift your way, remember the word PASS.  Or in your case, YES.
Haha.  Good luck.

thanks Abe.  And there are scripts here that I would like to show them, but first I would need the writer's permission and make sure the script isn't optioned, I will pm those writer's probably in the next week or two and see if they are interested.  anyways, thanks again

Thanks Kevan, This has become a real opportunity for me and I don't plan on screwing it up like I do most things, I think getting this job will help me mature and be a better writer .   Thanks again.

Well I got the template they sent me

TITLE
Author
Pages

GENRE: Thriller, Drama, Comedy, etc.

LOCATION: Vancouver, USA, Finland, etc.

BUDGET: Low, Medium, High, or combination

CIRCA: Present Day, 1920’s, Future-2025, etc.

SCRIPT READER: Your Name!

DATE: MM/DD/YY


LOGLINE: A one-sentence description of the story. Usually it is provided by the writer, but you can write your own if not. Used for quick summary of what to expect.

Example: A man plays mind games with his wife when his lover appears as her imaginary friend.

CONTENT SUMMARY: A brief summary of your thoughts on the script. One or two sentences.

Example: Though it is a fairly well-structured, high-concept script, it ultimately suffers from a lack of character development.

RECOMMENDATION: Your final recommendation (Recommend, Consider, Maybe, Pass)

RATINGS: (Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor)
Premise:
Storyline:
Structure:
Characterization:
Dialogue:

SYNOPSIS: A summary or brief outline of the sequences of events that occur in the story. To give the reader an idea of what the script is about, what happens, etc.

COMMENTS: This is where you add all your comments regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the script, what you liked and didn’t like, what worked and didn’t work. Be as specific as you can. Does not need to be a 5-page essay, however.

CONCLUSION: Your final thoughts. What would make it better, why you think it should be considered or passed, etc.


that's how they want me to do it.  They are going to send me two scripts this week.  I fiugred I would try this one one of the scripts here.  Anyone wanna volunteer or have a good suggestion, preferably a feature that hasn't had much exposure.

anyways, thanks again everyone
