Often overlooked! Pay attention to your loglines.

[Tom Vaughan @storyandplot]

99% of loglines I read don't make it clear:

- What's new or unique about this movie.
- What's the engine for fun, thrills, drama or laughs.
- Who the market is.

Worry less about the format. That's the easy part.

Worry more about getting the idea right.

@TVKel Nichol, PAGE, Sundance (labs too), and maybe a few film fests like Austin and others. Nobody pays attention to most of them.

There are MAYBE five (probably a stretch) screenwriting competitions that will actually do you any good to win, and you have to WIN.

For those of you entering all the other contests, why?

Any horror/comedy mockumentary TV shows out there?

A great reminder for 2023. Sit your ass down at your keyboard and type. Daily.

@ThatEricAlper Lately? The Jack Black scene in Weird: The Al Yankovich Story. Super funny.

[Brad Helmink @bradhelmink]

@saylahachey 28 Days Later, and the script for The Babadook (still haven't seen the movie)

[Brad Helmink @bradhelmink]

@Jim_Jordan this guy is in office? Doesn't understand the simplest of things. I'm sorry Ohio.

[Brad Helmink @bradhelmink]

@IFOS9000 I was joking :), of course I know who he is!

[Brad Helmink @bradhelmink]

If you could write the sequel to any movie or show, what would it be?

@IFOS9000 Blomkamp who?

[Brad Helmink @bradhelmink]

@storyemesis I'm stealing this :)

[Brad Helmink @bradhelmink]

@coondog1 Oooh, I like this one.

[Brad Helmink @bradhelmink]

What would the title of @elonmusk's autobigraphy be?

@IfyNwadiwe Someone similar enough would be my focus. You spend a lot of time together and it helps if you both enjoy the same things.
