Write + Sell The Hot Script

A hot script is the quickest way into the film industry.

You have the ideas and you have the talent to get that script sold, so what's holding you back? Getting an idea from your head to a sheet of paper means a journey of just eighteen inches.

Raindance Film is offering a weekend course that is designed to help you discover the insider trade secrets kept from outsiders trying to break into the industry.

Christopher Nolan (The Following), Spike Lee (She's Gotta Have It), Quentin Tarantino (Reservoir Dogs), Jane Campion (The Piano), John Hodge & Danny Boyle (Shallow Grave) and Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi) are some of the writer/directors who launched their careers with their first script.

Day One: The Business of Screenwriting
Learn how to formulate a realistic plan to write the type of screenplay sought by film script buyers.

Day Two: The Screenwriting Business
You never get paid for writing a screenplay. You only get paid when you sell it. This is the money day, when you learn how to write what sells and how to sell what you write.

We love films and we love film festivals. Tell us about your latest film festival experience and what made it so enjoyable.

Hint: Always stand on stage right to have your picture taken. Why? Captions run left to right, and this position guarantees that your name will appear first. If you start studying the publicity stills used by successful film people you will see that they follow these rules.

The arresting officers have never given me an option on where to stand. :(

Another unique sight is wannabe sitcom/sketch writers of the British Comedy Guide section of the festival dancing in zigzag patterns, rather than standing in the usual circle – these dances are lead by 'Chief Dances With Sitcoms' - aka James Cotter.

:O you want me to dance in a zigzag pattern?

But no diving under the buffet table.

Is there a costume? And when do I have to have the whole thing choreographed by?
