Cheers mate. Not anything I can apply for but your resources are certainly something I will look into.

Mods, feel free to move this if it's not applicable to this thread and could be posted in a better spot.

Just wanted to add ISA http://www.networkisa.org is a great resource for us screenwriters. I notice quite a few SS members subscribe.

It's pretty good - lots of links to screenwriting articles, opportunities for networking etc. Also, writing jobs are listed (few and far between, but they do occur) and you can subscribe for a reasonable fee and be listed on their screenwriter's pages - add your script titles/synopses, successes etc.  There also a running ticker-tape of upcoming contests etc. - but I know this thread is not for contests - just saying, there's a list of them all in one place.

Actually you can get emails from ISA re writer jobs without paid subscription but I think you get higher visibility and ability to apply for jobs earlier etc. if you pay.

Anyway, great job Anthony, for thinking of this.
I think a while back Pia used to post some of the InkTip opportunities...

Yup, I can confirm networkISA - you can also upload your scripts there and loglines & synopses can be browsed by anyone interested.

If you are not registered, you get access to writing jobs 7 days after they were posted. Registered members get instant access. I get about 10 writing gigs sent to my mailbox per week, most of them are low budget family films though.

Yep ISA is one of the places I listed in my previous articles and I still keep an eye on... I'll post from there if I see anything come up...

Would the list of production companies on ISA be a good place to look to send out emails?

Never done it before..

I'd suggest working out what Prod Cos have recently made things in the same genre as your script and then use IMDB Pro to find their contact details -you can get a 14 day trial I believe.
