"And yet, what is most satisfying about The Sun Never Sets is not just that Swanberg is back, but that he returns with one of his most complete and emotionally cohesive films to date."

Doing some last minute edits. Two late additions bringing the total to 2,560 spec deals. Still aiming to release the *free* eBook tomorrow as planned. I hope people dig this information. IMHO an indispensable screenwriting resource.

"It's Year 30. You have six unproduced screenplays, because you're a Screenwriter, for Christ's sake, and you made it, even though Hollywood never gave you a chance. You move back to your hometown. You work at Kip's old video store, but video stores don't exist anymore. You're in a parallel universe. Every movie in theaters is AI slop, even if it's not AI. You collect physical media on sale. Sometimes (often) you steal it from dumpsters. You've stopped going to Thanksgivings. You stopped getting invited. There is no joy. A local film festival screens old movies, and you think, "it was easier back then ... I was born in the wrong time."

"These two share a lot on the topic of independent filmmaking, the process, the collaborative effort, and share key learning points from this latest creative endeavor (i.e. don't shoot car scenes)!"

"There is a sequence involving Spider-Man navigating the mechanics of a swing and finding his angle on a rooftop that looks as though it was lifted directly from the Sony Spider-Man games, and I mean that as the highest possible compliment. The film is littered with pulpy comic-book moments of exactly the kind we have been painfully missing, street-level instances that feel genuinely localized rather than merely tributary to a larger extended universe. Raimi would be proud."

@DannyManus It spoke to me. After years of screenwriting, (then years of working too many jobs and hours to write at all), I'm writing a novel. Loving it. It's so important for writers to try other mediums, challenge their talent, all without beating themselves up. #scriptchat

"It made me smile constantly. It moved me in the final act with the smallest gestures. And it reminded me why this character, when treated with the respect and specificity he deserves, remains one of the most enduring figures in popular fiction."

Seems to be a common phishing scam now, but--

DO NOT reach out to ANYONE claiming to be a Pipeline staff member in an email (unless it's coming from an actual Pipeline email address).

Delete, or email the phisher back with the middle finger meme of your choice.

[Fringe Press @fringebooks]

Writers--

We are OPEN to submissions.

Preferred genres:

- thriller
- crime
- mystery
- weirdo experimental stuff with a strong emotional core.

High-concept, twisty stories that would fit well as a film.

The last month or so has felt more encouraging for film + TV writers than perhaps the preceding 2 years. 💥

"Sadie takes a solo adventure into the world of horror with multi-hyphenate creative Spider One (Big Baby, Allegoria) and vocalist of 90s rock band Powerman 5000. While they don't talk about his music career, they do deep dive into his new horror film Big Baby which is now available to watch On-Demand."

Sometimes we get a controversial article pitch for @PipelineArtists.

We debate, then throw the dice.

This is one of them. And I love it.

"That reaction is the entire goal of the sale draft. It's not necessarily a flaw that it ignores budget. A spec script's job is to dream as big as the story deserves, unburdened by production costs."

"Having Jake Johnson as a creative partner helps enormously. The films I have made with him do the best job creating narrative thrust while embracing the ambiguity. He will just call me out when we get too close to resolution-less uncertainty and guide us back to story."

"A year passes. Time comes and goes. Friends marry. The leaves change color (unless you prematurely moved to Los Angeles to start your Screenwriter career, so the leaves haven't changed color, and time has frozen against the infinite void of the sea)."

A new essay for writers (and...whoever else) now on Pipeline Artists.

Got tired of studio nonsense, so I made *all* eps of Flatbush Misdemeanors now streaming FREE on @punchuplive - enjoy our series, like, share, support independent artists

I don't know about you, but I suck at SubStack. So, I need this.

It's happening today 4pm PT (7pm ET).

Planning to use my SubStack for my historical fiction. Giving it a shot.

WEDNESDAY!

"What you may not realize is that an email list remains the most valuable asset a writer can build—and that growing one can actually be fun (seriously). Better yet, your newsletter can help you accomplish all those other goals, too."
