I joined this forum last year when I posted my first short. I didn't really get involved or get to know people, which is my fault. I have logged on every now again in that period of time and read the unproduced script of the day, but thats about it.
After posting my second short a few weeks back, I decided to make a concerted effort in reading people's work and commenting on it as best I can and perhaps getting to know the people who use this site a little better too.
So, who am I? Well, my names Eoin and I'm Irish. If you read some of my stuff, you'll notice that along with the usual amateur shortcomings, there's an Irish flavour to the way I write. I'm very new to scriptwriting. No formal classes etc just hoping to learn on the fly and improve by reading scripts and having mine read. I have a semi pro acting background, dabbled in writing a few 1 act and 3 act plays.
Currently working on a black comedy.
Other than that, not really very much to say for myself! Anything you'd like to know, just ask!
I like the way you've gone about joining the community. The post it and run brigade really piss people off, so it's nice to see someone willing to give a little back.
I do what I can, when I can. Like a lot of others on this site I work very long hours and don't get a chance to read or post until I get home. Months will sometimes go by, before I can actually spend a little time writing or reading and critiquing a few scripts.
Eoin. Great name. For those not familiar with the land of saints and scholars and guinness and huge debts and no work and socialism for banks that may bring down the whole country it's pronounced Owen.
Read some of your stuff and it's good. Keep it going. I'd say Ireland and the rest of the world could do with a good black comedy soon. G'luck with it.
I can't live the buttoned-down life like you. I want it all. The dizzying highs, the terrifying lows, the creamy middles. Sure, I may offend some of the blue bloods with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "city fathers," who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards and talk about what's to be done with this Homer Simpson?
@ Rendevous: It's now well and truely the land of Snakes and Sinners - bring back St. Pat, his extermination skills are need in th Dail and the Golden Circle.
@ Colkurtz8: If you use a slur, I prefer the term Paddy!
@ MCornetto: 'you're the chocolate at the end of my, cornetto' . . . name that lyric
Changed my screen name from badbaz to Eoin and uploaded a profile pic - seems more genuine - and may also be a little confusing for a while - so sorry about that!
More Irish is never a bad thing, along with the good amount of Aussies and Poms we have already in the community we are certainly a match for the Septics.
