Welcome!

"Everything you need to know from someone who knows nothing!"

That's my first promise.

Thanks for visiting! Here at Adventures in Reel Writing I believe in Free Speech, Free Music, Free Parking and most importantly Free Knowledge (of the screen kind) because no one should be forced to pay $$$$$ (five figures) for an education when everything you need is already in your head and at your fingertips.

My other promises to you are--
1) To be opinionated and passionate.
2) Thorough yet forgetful.
3) Open minded and fair

And no this is not Politics. About me--

I don't have a single spec sale under my belt, I've never been commisioned beyond a childhood allowance, never won a prize nor do I have a Masters from any one of those expensive film schools to boot.

However I do have the ability to form an educated critique, possibly even the same insight as those readers from Warner's/Universal, the so-called gate keepers to that elusive pot at the end of the rainbow. I drive the same streets as the Spielbergs and the Cruises, maybe in an older model but we share the road. I rub shoulders(not literally, well sometime yes) with the young and ambitious and I hold firmly the belief everyone is given the same chance it's just the effort you are willing to give.   

What I hope to achieve in this blog is to provide any/all information that I can/have from my experiences. Sure I've read all the books, taken courses, worked some of those Hollywood gates, I've even written a few (18) scripts myself. This number will change as time changes. But what do I REALLY know? I'm just as blind as the others hoping something will be mint after it's all said and done.

Because you have to have a ton of courage, you can't be shy on confidence and a little bit of crazy doesn't hurt to willingly invest your time and self in the craft of screen writing. You might as well consider yourself a fool among fools to even try your hand at this.

Because if you want the important people to invest millions upon millions of dollars into a stack of ink and paper then you better be first, ready to hear the word No! Pass! Not for us! Doesn't work! No way! Never! Are you crazy? It's terrible. Awful! This sucks. Give up! Do you understand this is the ride you're about to take?

Still Interested?

Good! We can be crazy together.    

I assure you if you're willing to read and continue to believe in the dreams of your youth, you might be surprised with what you can accomplish.

Thanks again for visiting and Pleaseeeeee...... Take what you like and forget the rest 8 )
