SUCCESSES:
Writers from these master classes continue to make steady
progress. A writer in the Monday night group just got
an agent,
based on a pilot for a children’s series. Another writer
just attached his script to a well known producer, who’ll
now shop it to the studios. Another writer is rewriting a
script for Splendid Films, the company that produced "Narc."
NEW BENEST FILM PROJECTS:
Glenn has just finished a work-for-hire project for Senya Productions: "One True Love."
APPEARANCES:

will be giving two lectures, "Writing
Great Film Narrative" and "Writing Horror Scenes."

TIPS AND TRICKS:
Always think about the reader when writing your script. That
person has to cover 4-5 scripts during a day, so make sure
it’s easy as possible for him or her to do the job. Don’t
break up dialogue with stage directions if possible, it makes
the read easier. Cut your narrative down to the bare bones,
as most readers speed read through this material and go straight
to the dialogue. Highlight or put in slug lines anything you
don’t want the reader to miss. And write your narrative
with style and energy. That separates a good script from a
great one. |
