@ijoda07: Alright, let's #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:08 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @ScriptCoach Hi Guido! I have too many on off for months projects, I need focus #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:09 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @ScriptCoach what is your project? TV, feature, other? #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:10 pm  



 
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell @ScriptCoach Yes, I go in bursts of writing too. Could do with one about now. Hope you get yours going. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:11 pm  



 
@kristenhallam: Hello, #scriptchat. Any advice on how to get up the courage to revise a screenplay that's been gathering dust for months?
August 19, 2012, 7:11 pm  



 
@HateTheHate: #scriptchat Has anyone sent anything via Twitter or other networking sites to any directors etc? :)
August 19, 2012, 7:12 pm  



 
@ScriptCoach: @teenierussell Oh, I know. Too many ideas, too little strategy in working them. Need a strategy session! Might be a good #scriptchat topic.
August 19, 2012, 7:12 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @ijoda07 Hi Jo, how is your #50kisses script coming along, are you getting ready to produce it? #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:12 pm  



 
@greensville: I've got a few projects planned but motivation is a bit cack at the moment. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:13 pm  



 
@robinbellwriter: #scriptchat I'm defying all the write every day advice to have break 2features, 3half hours loads of shorts and 2 60 minutes wrote this year
August 19, 2012, 7:13 pm  



 
@ClaireYeowart: @teenierussell you're welcome, shame you can't apply seems like a good opp #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:13 pm  



 
@ScriptCoach: @teenierussell 60 min audio drama pitch. Reworking one that got turned down with a 'maybe next time'. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:14 pm  



 
@ClaireYeowart: @HateTheHate general advice is don't do it! Build up rapport first, answer questions, and then after many months email them #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:15 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @greensville @antonsays Emphasis on the chilled, I might need a glass of ice #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:15 pm  



 
@SiFoulaReel: @robinbellwriter And all the TS work too! You're a machine! #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:15 pm  



 
@ijoda07: @teenierussell I'm actually going to direct it, i think. So I'm looking for a producer if you know anyone. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:16 pm  



 
@momentsoffilm: Hello #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:16 pm  



 
@ijoda07: @teenierussell P.S Just finished the second draft today! #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:16 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @kristenhallam Hi Kristen, it helps me if I print it out for starters and then make yourself comfortable somewhere away from pc #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:17 pm  



 
@greensville: I think I might get motivated with a bit of sketch writing then try longer projects. Might work! #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:18 pm  



 
@teenierussell: RT @HateTheHate: #scriptchat Has anyone sent anything via Twitter or other networking sites to any directors etc? :) #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:18 pm  



 
@phillbarron: @HateTheHate I have. Realised I'd met a director in a lift and not spoken to him, so tweeted him and he asked to read something. #scriptchat

@teenierussell: @HateTheHate I haven't but there are groups like the Talent Circle or Shooting People where you can try to generate interest #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:20 pm  



 
@SiFoulaReel: @ijoda07 Good luck with directing, that's brilliant. I wish I had a producer (or anyone else at all) for my in-progress film. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:20 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @ScriptCoach yes! noted. I think we've had one in the past, but good to have them from time to time. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:21 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @greensville what kind of projects do you have in the pipeline? #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:21 pm  



 
@SiFoulaReel: @phillbarron I'm thinking how to approach a producer I met when I was 15 in 1995. (Long story) Would be easier if he was on here #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:22 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @robinbellwriter wow, fantastic! That's a great output #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:22 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @ScriptCoach cool, is that for UK market or Dutch? #scriptchat

@robinbellwriter: @teenierussell never sure how much is enough so really pushed myself this year, think its been too much. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:24 pm  



 
@phillbarron: @SiFoulaReel Did you anything memorable? Like kill a pet? Or a relative? #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:24 pm  



 
@teenierussell: Opportunity! RT @ijoda07 @teenierussell I'm actually going to direct it. So I'm looking for a producer if you know anyone. #scriptchat

@teenierussell: @momentsoffilm Hi there Leilani! How have you been? #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:25 pm  



 
@SiFoulaReel: @phillbarron No, but he called about a script I sent him (I was at work, missed the call, then he went on a location shoot) #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:26 pm  



 
@kristenhallam: My DH just found Raiders of the Lost Ark on BBC3. Going to watch it for inspiration! #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:27 pm  



 
@ijoda07: @teenierussell @hatethehate I've scored some production jobs through twitter #scriptchat - good to build any networks in this industry
August 19, 2012, 7:27 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @phillbarron How did that work out? Did you ask the director to read it on first tweet or did you network first? #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:27 pm  



 
@SiFoulaReel: @phillbarron Me being 16, it being mid 90s & not now, nothing more ever happened. But he's working on moderately big UK films... #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:27 pm  



 
@greensville: I keep forgetting to put #scriptchat at the end of my tweets! They were bloody good ones as well!
August 19, 2012, 7:28 pm  



 
@SiFoulaReel: @phillbarron ...so I feel if the right letter or email could jog his memory, it might be a chance worth taking! #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:28 pm  



 
@ScriptCoach: @teenierussell UK. For Dutch market I only script edit atm (perm contract w/prodco) For UK market open for both writing/editing. #scriptchat

@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel are you writer/director/producer on your in-progress film? #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:28 pm  



 
@ijoda07: @SiFoulaReel Thanks. Was thinking about producing it, but I want to stretch my wings a bit. #scriptchat

@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell I'm the everything on it. I am the crew and creator. Just me & the cast. Sadly I'm shite at organising! #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:29 pm  



 
@TaroJ: @SiFoulaReel I've always found if someone contacts you & asks for advice it's a lot harder to say no than if they want a favour #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:29 pm  



 
@momentsoffilm: @teenierussell A bit behind on my writing. Had given myself a 23 Sep deadline for a new feature but I haven't started it yet. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:29 pm  



 
@phillbarron: @SiFoulaReel Have you got contact details? If so, you could try pretending no time has passed and you're just returning his call #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:30 pm  



 
@phillbarron: @teenierussell Well, the lift was on the way down from the after-première party for my latest film, so I had a slight in already #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:31 pm  



 
@MacBullitt: @SiFoulaReel @phillbarron Maybe an email or a letter if it'll jog their memory? #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:31 pm  



 
@robinbellwriter: #scriptchat next project is a ts feature. Already taken on many incarnations with lots of new ideas bubbling away. Gotta get busy on it
August 19, 2012, 7:31 pm  



 
@SiFoulaReel: @phillbarron I have contact details from before when London went 020. :| I'm going to try a polite letter through his agency. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:31 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @greensville I've been rewriting a sitcom for the last 1/2yr it seems, so keen to get that finished, then next rewrite a feature #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:32 pm  



 
@phillbarron: @teenierussell I just said hello and that I regretted not speaking to him, he asked if I had any scripts for him to read. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:32 pm  



 
@SiFoulaReel: @MacBullitt Exactly. Remember the 16 year old kid who sent you the 183 page slightly reformatted script? I'M BAAAAACCKKK. #scriptchat

@teenierussell: @kristenhallam enjoy :-) #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:33 pm  



 
@greensville: @teenierussell Right, let's give this a try. I had a sitcom idea that I'm really going to work through. #scriptchat

August 19, 2012, 7:34 pm  



 
@phillbarron: @SiFoulaReel Start with a polite compliment about his last film - agents sometimes pass those along to their clients. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:34 pm  



 
@SiFoulaReel: @MacBullitt That should have read *misformatted* screenplay. I didn't know you don't number scenes in a non-prod draft. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:35 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel I love organising, I hope to produce something in the future I just need to stop using the kids as an excuse not to #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:36 pm  



 
@SiFoulaReel: @phillbarron That would be tough. Maybe the film *before* the last film, that one was really good. But seriously, thanks... #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:36 pm  



 
@SiFoulaReel: @phillbarron ...for the advice. I'm going to wait a while figuring the most polite, best way to phrase it. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:37 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @momentsoffilm It's still do-able :-) Have you outlined it? #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:38 pm  



 
@greensville: @teenierussell my latest whacky idea is to plan, plan, plan and then leave the writing until the very last stage. #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:38 pm  



 
@teenierussell: @robinbellwriter good luck #scriptchat
August 19, 2012, 7:38 pm  



 
@greensville: @teenierussell Not done that for a sitcom idea before, so will see if I get any good results from that. #scriptchat

@greensville: @teenierussell Is yours for radio or TV? #scriptchat

August 19, 2012, 7:47 pm  



 
@greensville: @ComedyBurble @teenierussell I always plan plots, threads, etc. This time I'm going to spend more time on characters. #scriptchat
