Subject: Here's Your Recording For The "Hollywood Screenwriting Tricks" Workshop


Thank You For Joining Us for
Tonight's Screenwriting Workshop!

Thank you to all those who participated in tonight's workshop, and 1,000 apologies to those of you who tried to join, but were foiled by my bad link! The meeting ID and password were correct, and actually so was the Zoom link, but the hyperlink for the Zoom link was bad. I know what I did wrong, and I promise, it won't happen again! As we kind of implied in the workshop, don't be afraid to fail--Failure is a great teacher!

I want to thank Brooks for all his wisdom and generosity. See below for his contact information. Here, for those of you who missed it, is the recording of our session...

LINKS & RESOURCES FROM
THE WORKSHOP

Because we were running short on time, we had to skip over one of our "games". Brooks mentioned that one of the best screenwriting tricks was to CRUSH YOUR CONCEPT. The game we were going to play was for folks to post a one sentence concept into the chat and Brooks would analyze it for awesomeness. Well, that offer still stands. Now that you've got a bit of time to think of one, why don't you go ahead and send Brooks your concept--he's happy to give you supportive feedback on your concept to make sure it's expressing your vision as powerfully as possible. You can email him at:  Brooks@BrooksElms.com

Brooks coaches intermediate to professional level screenwriters to help them hit their next career milestone ASAP. If you're interested in learning more about his coaching, email him. And for daily wisdom, check him out on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/BrooksElms

Here are some other links we mentioned in the workshop:

Slacker Trailer: https://youtu.be/KlmfRuXxuXo - we showed a bit of this trailer to illustrate an old school example of a filmmaker's superpower...

You Suck At Cooking (Onion Rings): https://youtu.be/rrEe66ZnClQ - and we showed this as a new school example of same. Do yourself a favor and check out more of these You Suck At Cooking videos--they are absolutely hilarious.

Brooks mentioned several places you can get screenplay coverage for your scripts:

And he also mentioned this interesting study from Slated.com called "Beginner's Luck": https://filmonomics.slated.com/beginners-luck-ec33f8304c41

And I mentioned some cool, inexpensive new wireless mics on the market:  Rode Go II Wireless Mic System. Or you can just buy a used set of Sennheiser EW 100 G2's; I've owned these for years and they still do the job.
