Logline Wednesday on

[Robert E. Dillon @RobertEDillon]

To my knowledge season 4 of The Wire is the only television series that’s ever done an honest examination of the institutional pressures on American public education at the middle school level.

I’ve written and created a series for a female lead of color that is (CONT’D)

@ThatsLeahEvans I just came back to social media, but #scriptchat #writershelpingwriters & #amwriting were popular back in the day

@HorrorShaun @ScreenPit Very cool! I’m doing something similar with Logline Wednesday on Substack

Also, if you’re a screenwriter or someone interested in screenplays & you’re not on Substack…

@johnzaozirny @ZackMorrison18 How do you go about determining how much you need to raise in the first place?

… not only driven by both a serial and procedural engine, it’s informed by nearly 3 decades of working in public education at the MS level.

If you know anyone who might be introduced in shopping or packaging something like that, please get in touch. #scriptchat #indieTV

Know anyone involved in #IndieTV who might be interested in a taking a look at a pilot script for a workplace drama set almost entirely within a South Bronx middle school?

Has a studio animated film ever originated from a spec screenplay? I know some specs have been bought, but to my knowledge none have ever been actually made by studios. Asking because I honestly don't know. @GoIntoTheStory, @unikunka do you know of any?

[Robert E. Dillon @RobertEDillon]

Doing a weekly logline thing on Substack, if you’re looking for help with yours or just want to put it out there https://t.co/JOJsDtSFfz

@SusanSavageLee1 Coming back to it after an extended period of time. It’s easy to spot what’s not working or what’s unclear when you forgot that you ever wrote it to begin with

[Robert E. Dillon @RobertEDillon]

@storyshowing On that note… have you heard of Script Revolution?

SCREENWRITERS: Reminder of why you need to get your shit out there into the market for REAL.

NICHOLL passed on two of my scripts in the same year. Ghosted.

However, I was already signed at CAA. Both scripts had already landed in Hollywood with A-lister tastemakers. I had already done water bottle tours on both.

This is after Shari finally read one and said “Lemme slip it to Joe Cohen/CAA. He might dig it.” He did. (My very first industry read)

CAA was helping package one to direct. Anonymous was helping package the other to direct.

Erwin Stoff had already offered me TWO gigs.

Imagine if I had believed the GHOST from Nicholl was correct—That I sucked and wasn’t READY.

If you KNOW you are. Get your shit OUT THERE!

I’m adamant. No one can change my mind on this stance.

Put your plan of attack together this afternoon. Not tomorrow(s)

You do not need validation from services nor laurels nor 8s. Period.

Good luck! 👊🏾😘
