$9.8M: Biscuit Run Sold to Virginia For 78% Less Than 2005 Price...But Story's Not Over

*Updated at bottom

The PR rep for Hunter Craig and Forest Lodge LLC stated,  “the investors will not come out whole and no one is getting a windfall,” after the announcement that the Commonwealth paid $9.8M for the property for which Forest Lodge LLC paid $46.2M in 2005, $36.4M or 78+% less.

However, the issue of tax credits, which may be sold, remains to be determined in the future.  From the

Festive Fare

So, there you have it. 2009. Whoosh. Gone. Just like that. "Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." (RIP John Hughes)

An interesting and exciting year, by all accounts. Two episodes of EastEnders, wrote & directed a short film, and a couple of other bits and pieces. Short film and EastEnders being the obvious highlights. Still have the short film to finish (just waiting on final bit of post-production) but hopefully that will be done and dusted in the New Year. After that, who knows? Push for more commissions. Try to create more opportunities. Write new scripts. Get the short film out there. Do more directing. Make another film (sssh, don't tell my wife).

It's been the Year of the Twitter, too, hasn't it? That's been fascinating, to say the least, especially as I managed to raise £1k with the Twitter Short Film Fund. Although blogs seem to have taken a dip in content and use, social networking sites are all the rage, and there are emerging opportunities for writers (e.g. games for social networks, check them out).

Any-old-hoo, time for a break. Let's see what 2010 has in store. Until then, have a cool yule, yo, and see you in the New Year.

Shadow Schemes/Trial Scripts

If you're keen to make it as a TV writer, then an inevitable step in the process is to write a trial episode for one of the soaps. These trials are also known as 'Shadow Schemes'. Essentially, you'll go through the process of writing a real episode from the official storylines without it actually being broadcast. There usually isn't any fee for trial episodes although some of the one hour dramas may offer some remuneration.

A trial episode is a big deal. It's your foot in the door. It's make or break time. In some instances, you'll be asked to write a handful of sample scenes to see if you're suitable to write an entire trial episode. Other times, the sample scenes will be enough to guarantee a commission. It varies from show to show. Let's break it down.

SAMPLE SCENES:
'Sample scenes' may sound fairly straightforward but you'll probably be asked to write 10-15 scenes, or maybe even half an episode. This will usually be the A story of the intended episode, to see how you get on with the characters, dialogue and the arc of that particular plot line.

TRIAL EPISODES/SHADOW SCHEMES:
First draft, notes from script editor, second draft, then a decision is made on whether or not you're suited to the show. Naturally, writing the entire episode gives a much fuller indication of how well you know the series, the characters, etc. It's also a lot harder than you think. You might be good enough to write for the show but there's a lot of competition. You won't be the only one doing a trial episode. Make your script shine.

APPROACH:
Some soaps use scene-by-scene breakdowns (written by the storyliners), and you write the script from there. Others give you a 2/3 page outline of what happens in your episode, and it's up to you to come up with the scenes, structure, etc. Whatever the case, you may settle down telling yourself not to stray too much from what you've been given, and to give them what they want.

This is a bad approach. As it's a trial, they want to see your take on the episode, your original voice. This means giving them what they want but not necessarily what they expect.

Work out the stories. What's really going on? Is there a better beat to be had? What's the character feeling? Is my B story really the A story? Follow the flow of what you need to do but don't just hit the beats. Add flavour, humour, surprise, something that says 'YOU' but within the acceptable context of the show.

When you're familiar with a series and its characters, then follow your instincts on how they would react and behave. When you're unfamiliar, you probably just want the writing gig and your lack of passion or awareness will show.

If you want to break away from some of the storyline, do not be afraid to speak to the script editor and discuss your thoughts. Give solid reasoning why a character would or wouldn't do something. Script editors will know more than you in terms of the wider impact of what you're suggesting, so if they agree with you, you're on the right track. If they think you should stick to the storyline, then listen to what they have to say.

DOING THE NOTES:
It's important, nay vital, to take on notes but it's equally important not to slavishly follow what you've been told (especially if you disagree or don't understand). Absorb the notes as much as possible so you understand the underlying emotions and motivations of what you're being asked to do. That way, you can still remain creative in your dramatisation (sometimes surprising the script editor) but still sticking to the overall sense of what they wanted. Avoid using script editor's suggestions verbatim. Notes are guidelines and suggestions, not instructions or demands. They can be very specific at times but there's usually a good reason. It's a tricky balance. Handle with care. If in doubt, SPEAK TO YOUR SCRIPT EDITOR.

NOT GETTING THE CHARACTERS RIGHT:
This is the most common form of rejection when writing trial episodes. So, while you may think you've done what you've been told and followed the storyline, it may read quite bland or safe. You haven't given the characters some personal sense of detail, dialogue, humour or an unexpected (but plausible) turn of behaviour. So, the most important part of any trial episode is to KNOW THE CHARACTERS. Know how they speak and behave, and what personal history/relationship can be interwoven into the storyline.

HOT TIP:
Watch the show with the subtitles on. Get familiar with the rhythm, tone and tempo of how various characters talk. Soap dialogue can be very tight and sparse but the subtitles occasionally trim the lines back further. Watch and learn.

OVERVIEW:
TV writing is hard work. There's a lot to consider, not to mention negotiating the practical documents that detail what sets or actors are available, and other restrictions. But this is the process, this is the reality. Do your research. Immerse yourself in the show as much as possible. Be prepared and then impress them with your love of the show, and how your original voice will add to the series' continued success.

BAFTA response

BAFTA were kind to give me a quick reply to my letter (see previous post). They address the Best Screenwriting award issue and why it doesn't get higher billing in their film award show:

"We present 25 awards on the evening of the Awards and, although we consider all our nominees and every award to be equally important, some awards do have to go earlier in the evening. What we try to do, especially for the viewer at home, is to intersperse the more specialist categories with the more familiar categories, including our two screenwriting awards.

By putting the award in the early part of the show, we are not devaluing it at all - quite the opposite - we are using it as one of the highlights of the early portion of the evening."


Here is my reply:

"Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. However, I would disagree with your logic. Writers get treated badly by the industry. I think the media, and BAFTA in particular, need to celebrate and promote screenwriting amongst the higher profile categories, as it would help to raise the awareness and importance of the work. I am not suggesting they take top billing but merely stand shoulder to shoulder with the top gongs. Writing is a craft (as is acting and directing) but it is a vital part of the creation and development of any given project.

Also, I think there is a bigger grievance in placing the TV writing award in the Craft Awards, separate to the main BAFTA TV awards, which seems inappropriate.

A lot of interest has arisen in this issue in the last few days. You may have received similar correspondence recently. I know the Writers' Guild are keen on the topic so I hope they can convince you to change your mind for future award ceremonies."

So, while they will probably remain firm on giving the screenwriting award low billing in their film show, we should be able to persuade them to move the TV writing prize from the Craft Awards into the main TV show. If you'd like to let BAFTA know your thoughts on the matter (politely, please, no need to gnash and wail), then follow this link and fill out the rest.

In slightly related news: wasn't it great to see Graham Linehan win the Ronnie Barker Writers' Guild of Great Britain Award at the Comedy Awards? He was the only comedian to receive a standing ovation for the entire night. A writer. Man alive, imagine that.

Dear BAFTA

Yesterday on Twitter, I was reminded that BAFTA treat their Best Screenwriting award with considerably less fuss than certain other categories, placing it in the craft section. I even made a comment on it last year at the top of this post.

From Twitter discussion, it emerged that BAFTA were adamant that the writer's award belonged with make-up and sound. This annoyed me, so I moaned about it a little, targeting BAFTAonline with a few comments. However, I felt the complaint needed to be expressed in more than 140 characters. So, here's an open letter to BAFTA which express my feelings on the matter (copy also sent to their offices). Feel free to agree, comment or share.

---

Dear BAFTA

As a screenwriter, I am always surprised and disappointed at the lack of time and attention given to the Best Screenplay award at your award ceremonies. Whilst screenwriting is indeed a craft, it does not belong in the craft section alongside make-up and sound. Every year at awards season, we are treated to the same lip service (from actors, directors et al) that “a good script is the most important part of the process”. Anyone involved in production will agree. Without a script, you don’t have a story. Without a story, you don’t have a film.

So, if you follow that obvious logic, it doesn’t make any sense for the Best Screenplay award to be sidelined in the craft section. Last year, Best Visual Effects got higher billing than screenwriting. Come on BAFTA, if screenwriting is the most important part of the production process, which it clearly is, then give it the attention it deserves. I would politely request that you place it in the main awards, alongside the high profile categories. Let's celebrate and promote screenwriting rather than treat it as a functional cog in the system.

Yours faithfully

Danny Stack

Getting Your Script Read

In the comments section of the 'Are You Ready?' post last week, Bob the Vegan asked about how to get your scripts read, and is it possible to pitch with just a premise?

First, getting your script read. In the UK, you've got a few options.

British Film Institute
The dust has more or less settled since the UK Film Council folded into the BFI, and the new staff and strategy has been laid down. Check out their website for the full rundown.

BBC writersroom
Always looking for new writers, always open to submissions. However, check out their new submission guidelines. Whatever you do, don't complain, especially if they reject you. Be gracious and appreciative that they're willing to read your work. Keep trying.

Script Competitions
Enter the good ones. It can cost a bit but usually not that much. Kaos British Screenwriting Competition and the Red Planet Prize (RPP) are two high profile ones that spring to mind. Competitions can be a bit of a lottery but some offer feedback so you get some vale for your money. Pick and choose the ones you think would be of genuine benefit to you.

Get an Agent
This part of the process is the easiest. Hold on, that didn't sound right. Oh yes, this part of the process is the hardest. There, that's better. Or worse. Still, agents take on new writers all the time. You just have to be good. Simples.

The Unsolicited Approach
The Writers & Artists' Yearbook lists a huge amount of production companies and usually mentions if they accept unsolicited material or not. But I'm going to let you in on a secret. Are you ready? EVERYBODY accepts unsolicited material, even if they say they don't. The trick is to make contact with the assistant, exec, co-ordinator, whoever, either via email or the phone (preferably phone) and convince them you're a lovely normal person who has a promising script to read. Show a bit of charm and hustle, and no door will be closed to you.

Networking
Attending film festivals, talks, seminars, etc. Stalking producers and execs at the bar. Getting to know fellow writers. Finding out about script editors. Putting your name out there. This makes you more agreeable and identifiable when you do the unsolicited approach, above.

Referral/Recommendation
A referral or recommendation to an agent or a producer about you and your work is a great boost. Recently, I referred Kevin Lehane to an exec I knew (because his scripts were good and he had worked so hard on my short film for free), and next minute, Kevin's in the trades, nabbing an agent and making sales. I hate him. I mean, isn't it great when the system works?

Now, is it possible to pitch with just a premise?

Ideally, yes. In practice, not so much. Producers/execs want to be hooked by your script with the premise alone. Most scripts don't have a concept that sounds instantly appealing. If you're trying to get money to write a script from just a pitch or one-pager, this is also generally a good thing. However, you need a spec script to back up the fact you have the talent to write your hot idea into a full screenplay. And anyway, most producers wouldn't commission a script from a pitch or one-pager. They'd get you to write an outline/treatment first, usually for peanuts. Literally. Type, monkey boy, type!

Girl Number 9

A new web thriller hit the net earlier this month, Girl Number 9, which marked the directorial debut of none other than James 'Who's The Daddy Now?' Moran. He wrote the script and directed eps 4-6, while Dan 'I Can Do Anything, Me' Turner directed the first three installments.

It generated quite a buzz and was very cool indeed, but in case you missed it, check out episode 1 below. The series will be available to watch for free until the end of November, worldwide, so get on over to the official website to be gripped by the rest. After that, it'll be on DVD, with lots of goodies and extras. It's a self-financed project with no big corporation sucking up the benefits, just creative types trying to do something fun and entertaining within a genre and format that they care about. Have at it!

Robert Shiller Wonders If Recovery Is All In Your Head - And Current Info Indicates It Just Might Be

The co-creator of home-price tracker Case Shiller Index, an economist and Yale professor, says in the NYT, "Beyond fiscal stimulus and government bailouts, the economic recovery that appears under way may be based on little more than self-fulfilling prophecy."

We all want the Great Recession to be over, so we're acting like it is.  But recent data indicates "recovery" is a long, slow way off.

berikut tipsnya

Are You Ready?

When you haven't had a break yet, the temptation is to scream THAT YOU COULD DO SO MUCH BETTER compared to what you see on TV or at the flicks."How did that get made?" "The writing was so lazy!" "OMG, what an insult to my intelligence!" "My script has a better premise AND a better story!"

Well, hold up one moment. There's a wider system and process at work here. It's not all about the writer. Indeed, the writer would have been hired because of his/her quality work; an impressive portfolio of scripts or a list of produced credits. Producers/execs like to feel assured they're hiring the right person. A lot happens in between the writer trying to do the best he/she can and what you finally see on the screen. Sometimes, when the planets align, it'll be just right. Other times, the development or production process might have knocked the script off course, and several grubby fingers may have bent it out of shape.

How can you prepare for this part of the process? How do you know you can cope? When do you figure out that you're ready? Ready to be a professional.

The answer: you dive in and see if you sink or swim. You pitch. You get rejected. You write outlines. A bit of interest, perhaps. Developed, then rejected. You write a first draft. People like it but nobody wants to make it. Worse, nobody wants to buy it. You write more drafts. Someone options it. They have new ideas. You rewrite. They don't want to make it anymore. The option expires. Nobody wants to make it or buy it.

You get a commission to write for a TV show - great! But hold on, there's a wealth of information you need to know about the programme before you start. The history of the show, its production values, its characters, iconic storylines. Then, there's the writing process. Work out the practicalities of your episode. Who's available, who's not. What sets are available, what isn't. The limitations. The expectations. Write a first draft. Take on the notes. Rewrite. More notes. Rewrite again. More notes. Rewrite, tweak. Final amendments. Revise. Polish. Last minute changes. Start again. Deadline. Done.

Back in 2000, I had an opportunity to write a trial episode for Family Affairs. I was well up for it. Then, I received the history of the show. A huge document that detailed everything anyone needed to know about writing for the soap. I hadn't seen anything like it. I thought I was good enough to write for the show but I reneged on the trial episode. I was intimidated by all that information. I wasn't ready. No problem, they said, how about a job in the storylining department? That would have been ideal for me, especially at that time. But I turned it down. My logic? I wanted to focus on writing my own scripts. Ah, the irony (and stupidity). I wasn't ready.

With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, I can easily trace my naive beginnings right through to the moment when I was properly ready to take on the system. That came in 2004 when I got my first Doctors commission. Instead of feeling intimidated about what was in store, I was eager to get stuck in and deliver the goods. Absorb the history/bible documents. Pitch new ideas. Develop scene-by-scene breakdowns. Write a first draft. Take on the notes. Write a second/third draft and do whatever revisions were necessary. Work with the script editor, to try and understand their point-of-view instead of fighting their notes, and the process.

Don't be in a rush to prove yourself. Take your time. Keep writing. You might feel ready but if you're shouting at the TV or cursing at the cinema, then you're probably not. I'm not saying you can't dislike something but as a new writer, you should try to have a bit more awareness and insight into how the system works. Once you do, you will never, ever, criticise another writer again. Right, ready? Go!

Friday the 13th: FHA, Foreclosures, Fannie, Freddie...and Declining Mortgage Applications

The Federal Housing Administration is in deep trouble. The agency insures loans made by private lenders, and a recent audit showed the capital reserves were o.53%, much below the 2% mandated by Congress last year. 

[T]he agency insured too many loans to unqualified borrowers in 2007 and 2008, a position the agency itself now agrees with. Nearly one in five loans it insured in 2007 now fall into

iFeatures (& my stuff on t'telly)

Lots of schemes and competitions about at the moment. The Story Works, Sky Movies HD comp etc (and I hope to have news about this year's Red Planet Prize soon). Here's another scheme that's most definitely worth a look. iFeatures digital feature film initiative from South West Screen.

Although it is a regional screen agency's initiative set up to promote Bristol as a cultural and cinematic location, it is open to submissions from creative teams nationwide. There's a development slate process and then three films will be made for £300k (BBC Films being one of the partners). Submissions must be made by post and the deadline is 12 NOON on TUESDAY 8th DECEMBER 2009. There's lots more info on the website, so check it out here.

In other news, tomorrow's Friday the 13th. Unlucky for some? Not for me, it seems. I start the day with my episode of Roy on BBC2 at 7.30am (get up early whydontcha), and finish the day with my episode of EastEnders, BBC1, 8pm. Wahey!


This is my second episode of 'Enders. I was more nervous doing this one than my first attempt, partly because it was a Friday episode (so I didn't want to let anyone down) and partly because I was only blimmin' following on from supremo writers Richard Davidson, Nicholas Hicks-Beach and Rob Gittins. So, like, no pressure. Still, I'm fairly pleased with the way it's turned out, so if you do watch, I hope you enjoy. Repeats on BBC3, iPlayer and the Sunday omnibus. (In this preview clip, I'm in the caff watching the actors on a monitor.)

Also nervous about Ireland playing France on Saturday. I predict 1-1 in Dublin and 0-0 in France (next Weds), thus seeing us (typically) bow out of the World Cup qualifying race. But come on the lads! Let's make it a weekend to remember!

Flog a blog?

Photo: Gaping Void

Blogs and networking sites have taken a strange hue of late. It's interesting to see certain online tangents and cliques that are being made while others stomp their feet over internet trolls who gleefully take a swipe at anything or anyone. Twitter is certainly leading the way in that regard but its micro-blogging service is also reducing the regularity and quality of normal blogs. It seems it's easier to tweet or hang out with your friends on Facebook rather than take the time to write a blog post.

Only this time last year, blogging was being touted as the way to go. But with so many blogs and online commentary available, it's all getting a bit fragmented. Still, I reckon maintaining a good blog is a worthwhile venture. So, an extract from a post I wrote last year, with my humble tips on blogging. For the full post and reaction, see the original post from 29th October, 2008.

---

Blogging - good blogging - is about regularity. Intelligence. Wit. Honesty. Triviality. Community. Sounds a bit highfalutin, but it’s true, all the best blogs give generously with their time and text, building their audience with their regular posts and useful comments. If you’re just starting out a blog and feel a bit daunted by the task, then here are a few tips to see you through:-

1. You
What’s your blog about? If you just want to share the highs and lows of your writing experiences, then great. Most scriboblogs take this approach. It gives us that sense of community and support but, if you want to be a bit different, think of a particular new tack or tone for your blog, and stick to that.

2. Getting to Know You
Nobody reading your blog? Well, they don’t know you’re out there yet. The most basic way of raising your profile is to make comments on the blogs that you read the most. Don’t just hit and run, either. Make an appreciative comment, or add something to the debate. And then do the same on a few other blogs. People will recognise your name, like/dislike your comments, check out your profile, which will lead them conveniently to your blog.

The best way to get noticed is to get a link or a mention on someone else’s blog but this is usually an unexpected bonus. It’s blog etiquette to return someone’s link if they have you on their blogroll (their list of links) but it’s not so cool if you specifically request a shout out just for a quick hit on your site.

3. Slow Build
Once they’ve seen you have a blog, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll come back. To ensure repeat hits, you have to blog. Which means you have to write new posts. Fairly regularly, especially at the beginning. The internet hoovers up content. You have to keep providing it. 3 posts per week would be a good place to start. More if you can manage it. Anything between 1-3 per week is fair game once you’re up and running. You’ll soon discover if blogging is for you; whether it’s an inconvenience and irritation to write something or if it’s a natural impulse to post an update on what’s happening in your little corner of the internet.

4. Quality
Anybody can whack up a YouTube video or share a joke, or the details of a course, and it counts as a post. This is all fair enough but if you really want a blog that stands out from the crowd, you’ve got to try to make each of your posts useful. Or witty. Or intelligent. Or different in some way. If you’re going to review a film or something you’ve seen on TV (another way to easily generate a post), don’t be lazy about it. You’re a writer. Have something insightful to say. Don’t just slag things off or be sloppy with your prose. Check out Dan’s Media Digest to see how it’s done.

5. Work
It’s important to remember that your blog is on the internet, and can be read by anyone, anywhere at anytime. If you’re a writer, and you haven’t set up an anonymous blog (which have their merits but nameless rants can be wearisome), then it’s likely that an exec will Google you at some stage, and check out your blog. And if that coincides with your latest post where you have a flaky meltdown about the way your career is going, then that’s not going to be good, is it? (I heard that someone slagged off an exec they had met, and the exec read the post, heavily offended.)

The blog is your shop window. Your professional face to the world. While it’s great to be honest and truthful about what’s going on, there’s no need to show that it’s turning you into an emotional wreck. Everybody gets rejected and has frustrating experiences. Blog about it, absolutely, but don’t become a raving loon.

Will I get work from it? Possibly. It all depends on you, and what you write about, and how you present yourself. It’s all a knock-on effect, really. Having a positive web presence will help build your reputation, and could be the final clincher in someone thinking of you for a writing gig. Personally, I’ve got three paid gigs from having the blog. But it’s not a straightforward process of someone seeing your blog, liking it, and offering you a job. In my experience, they’ve read the blog, got in touch, kept in contact, and then thought of me when the time was right.

Story Vault: Know Your Cuts

Yesterday, on Sky Arts Book Show (or possibly last week's show and I was watching a repeat), host Mariella Frostrup interviewed screenwriter Christopher Hampton. He recalled one of his earlier lessons in screenwriting from David Lean, where Lean would insist on knowing how the last image of one scene would flow/compliment/match (or mismatch) to the next scene. It taught Hampton a lot about transitions, and how to make them work in a script.

Here's my take on the subject: Know Your Cuts. Originally posted 11th April 2006.

---

Back in the day, I was an assistant in Channel 4’s comedy department where my bosses developed, commissioned and worked on some top shows that included Spaced, Ali G, Smack the Pony, Chris Morris, Comedy Lab etc. One of the shows in the comedy stable was Chris Evans’ TFI Friday, the hit entertainment show to kick-start your weekend every Friday at 6pm.

The problem with the show was that it was live and due to the carefree presenting style of the host, some of the guests would be very drunk and use language wholly unsuitable for its pre-watershed slot. And so, after a heavy rap on the knuckles from the ITC (Independent Television Commission), and a fine, TFI Friday was recorded ‘as-live’ on Fridays at 5pm for its broadcast at 6pm. The reasoning behind this was so the show could retain its spontaneity but any rude words or inappropriate content could be cut out before transmission.

As an assistant in the department, one of your duties was to edit the bad language from the show. Every Friday at 5pm, you would toddle down to 124 Facilities in Channel 4’s HQ on Horseferry Road, sit yourself in an editing booth with the Duty Lawyer and jot down timecoded references to anything untoward. Then during the ‘ad breaks’, you would feverishly try to edit the offending item before the next part of show began, and have the tape ready for broadcast. This often led to some hair-raising shouts and panics as once, a runner literally got our edited tape to MCR (master control room) with only seconds to spare!

Some assistants expressed reluctance at this editing task, usually shared on a rota, but I loved it. I had sat in editing rooms before and watched an editor/director assemble their footage but this was my first experience of actually choosing which shots went where to ensure ease of continuity. Basically, what it came down to was not just jotting down when the bad language was said but you also had to keep an eagle eye for any suitable cutaways that would help the editor when he was chopping out the wayward f**k. And so cutaways and inserts became the routine.

What I didn’t realise then was that this was essential and basic training when it came to screenwriting. Someone once told me ‘know your cuts’ in your script and I didn’t know what he meant. An editor-friend reiterated this advice when she bemoaned the quality of scripts she received, and how she and the director would tear their hair out in the editing room trying to generate the required pace and momentum from scene-to-scene.

‘Know your cuts’ refers to the pace, rhythm and tempo of your story but specifically, the key transitions from scene-to-scene. In other words, try not to end a scene on a piece of flat drama or loose end because it will only leave the next scene to trudge and work hard to apply its dramatic interest on the audience. The pace will be too even and sluggish, making the script a difficult and detached read.

Some basic tips to ensure smooth transitions and clever cuts include using the same SOUND that ends the previous scene to carry forward the beginning of the next. MATCH-CUT an image to a similar image (this is done all the time, everywhere, just sit down in front of the TV for 20 minutes and you’ll see loads). JUXTAPOSE SOUND and/or IMAGE from one extreme to the other, if applicable and appropriate for dramatic effect.

The interesting aspect of this technique is that when you apply it into your script on a conscious level, say in your first draft, the energy and momentum of actually writing the story becomes heightened because of the smooth links from scene-to-scene. In other words, attention isn’t flagging and the story is moving along nicely. It’s not necessary for EVERY scene to run this way but it can prove extremely useful to be aware of this technique, especially when you’re a spec writer no-one’s heard of and you want an anonymous stranger exec to like your script.

Whenever I read a script that did it smoothly and effectively, I always made reference to it in my report. It shows good awareness of craft as well as having the talent to use it wisely within the story, and it makes for easier reading.

Now, what if I cut out the third paragraph and replace it with the second last paragraph so that the post reads shorter and more to-the-point…and… CUT.

Foreclosures: Worst. Quarter. Ever.

Q3 2009 was a record breaker, despite the Federal Gov't's  Home Affordable Mortgage Program.  Only a few thousand of the HAMP mods are out of the trial period, however...so Q1 2010 could beat this quarter....

Origin, update

I started developing Origin, my short film, in January of this year. By the end of April, I had a cast and crew, and we shot the film over four days. Editing finished in July (although not much happened in May as we tried to get completion funding). Music was composed, then re-composed. Sound design was signed off, and the film benefited from the full digital intermediate experience at Ascent142. All of this was achieved on a modest budget, a huge amount of goodwill and favours, not to mention vital financial contributions made via the blog and Twitter (thank you!).

At the moment, I'm waiting to mix the sound and music together, and play out to a master tape. That'll be it. Done!

I've been struggling to find a place to squeeze me in for the sound mix (as I have little or no money). I had imagined that the film would have been finished (and premiered!) by now. One or two more favours should see me past the finish line. It's been a terrific experience, with a truly top cast and crew, and I'm already itching to direct again. Post-production has been the most stressful part of the project, and I have missed not having a proper producer to help me. However, the film is looking great, and I can't wait to get it out there!

If you work in post-production and could help out with the mix, or recommend somewhere that could accommodate my low-no budget, then do let me know. In the meantime, here's the trailer again:

Charlottesville Area Real Estate Update,Third Quarter 2009: Dismal Sales. The Good News For Buyers? Prices Keep Falling.

 Area sales are at the decade low.

Even with the up-to-$8k tax credit and the annual seasonal uptick in sales plus the majority of transactions occuring at the "low" "First Time Homebuyer" price point of under $300K, as well as the historically low interest rates, sales are sputtering.  And according to minds bigger than this blog's, apparently this is not the area's bottom.

Writing for the BBC

Want to write for the Beeb? Interested in their continuing drama series (Doctors, EastEnders, Holby, Casualty)? Think it's all a closed shop? It isn't. You may think it is, especially if your ten pages didn't get past go at the writers' room, again, or you were rejected from the Writers' Academy for the fourth year running. But there are other ways in. Shadow schemes. See the full rundown below. I've taken this directly from BBC writersroom, so check out their website for more details, info and interviews.

---


What is a shadow scheme?

A shadow scheme is basically a dummy run of the commissioning process. Writers are asked to pitch guest story ideas, and given a real serial document from which they are asked to write all or part of a script. Usually they are asked to write two drafts. This script is not for broadcast, but is used by the production to decide whether or not to commission the writer.

Not all writers who write shadow scripts then go on to be commissioned.

EastEnders

Several times a year, writers are invited to attend an "Elstree Day". These are writers who are either new to the show, or would like to return. (It is optional for the returning writers, but still recommended as the show and the team have changed so much in the last few years.) During the day writers explore the genre of Continuing Drama; analyse a story document and see its journey to the transmitted episode; tour the set so that they can understand the geography of the world they'll be writing; and discuss the influence of both the show's history, and the real East End.

At the end of the Elstree Day the Shadow Script Task is set up. At a time convenient to them, writers are given a story document, the related research, and logistical production requirements. They then work with the Development Editor, James Peries, on two drafts of the script. After that a decision is made as to whether they will be commissioned to write for the show. There is no fee paid for this process, though (in a few cases) if a further period of development work is invited a fee might be paid for that. All writers new to the show have to undertake the Shadow Script process.


Holby City

Writers who already have an hour-long broadcast drama credit, are requested to pitch two brief, original guest story ideas. These must be devised in order to drive and illuminate the given serial from a story document. The writer does two drafts of their pitches with notes from Simon Harper, Development Editor. There is no fee paid for this exercise.

Less experienced writers may be invited on to the Holby City shadow scheme, for which, the work being more intensive, a fee is paid. Participating writers first spend a day at the Holby office, and then take away a story document and over the next few weeks, select one strand of a real episode and write a scene-by-scene treatment with an original guest story woven into it. They do two drafts of this before proceeding on to writing up 12-14 selected scenes from the treatment. Again, writers do two drafts, with notes from Simon before the Holby team decides who to take on to commission. This process is for the Holby team and the writers themselves to find out if they are right for the show. New writers can often fall down if they try to write a pre-imagined idea of the show, rather than discover what the show is about now.

Holby is a strongly authored and writer-led show. Tony McHale, who originated the show, is lead writer and also Executive Producer.


Casualty

Also looks for writers with TV experience and a good grasp of structure. Casualty needs writers who can not only handle serial stories and medical procedure, but who can come up with strong and arresting guest stories and who have something exciting and relevant to say about the world now. For the 2008/9 Casualty shadow scheme, writers were given a three-day induction course on how to write for the show, which included a set tour and information about the format and ambitions of the show. The selected writers then pitched guest stories and if these were thought suitable, those writers worked with Script Producer Bianca Rodway and Script Editor Jenny van der Lande to develop shadow treatments and a draft Casualty script. A fee was paid for each part of the shadow scheme.

In 2009/10 Casualty will run another Shadow Scheme - the format of the scheme may be revised and further details will be posted on this page as they become available.

Doctors

Doctors has a very high number of writers who are new to television. All new writers are asked to complete an unpaid shadow script in order to assess their suitability for the show.

The show does not have a Development Editor. Instead, all the Script Editors develop and work with new writers.

The show also runs an annual residential Doctors Academy that takes eight new or current Doctors writers, and teaches them more about how to write successfully for the show. Unlike the Writers Academy, you cannot apply for this scheme, but you can declare an interest in doing it when submitting to the show. The Script Editors decide which writers would must benefit from it.

Remember, if you don't have an agent, then you have to submit via the BBC writersroom. If you have an agent, get them to submit your work to the relevant people of the above shows (full details of key personnel available on writersroom website).
