i have been fortunate enough to have worked on nine feature films that have made their way into cinemas across the globe and with another three being released this year and two more going into production, i am very happy with the way my career has been going. there has, however, been one thing missing – i have never had one of the films i have worked on be released theatrically in my homeland britain.
that changes tomorrow (friday feb 1) with the uk release of the belgian film ‘bullhead‘, oscar nominated last year for best foreign film. you can read more on my ‘bullhead’ adventures here and here.
to celebrate this, i am offering three writers who follow me on twitter a free, 2-hour, one-to-one consultation on a script of their choice. my speciality is features, but i will also be happy to look at tv pilots, tv episodes, shorts and webseries.
the selection process
to begin with, send a logline and a one-page synopsis to me – philATscriptguyphilDOTcom – and i will begin selecting those that interest me.
for the second phase, i will ask for the first ten pages of your script, and after reading those i will select the three successful scripts.
after reading the three scripts, i will then get in touch to arrange a mutually convenient time to chat.
note:- do NOT send complete scripts or the first ten pages unless i ask for them. if you do, they will be deleted without opening, although your logline and one-page will still be eligible.
there are some conditions, but i’ve tried to limit them as best i can.
i) the offer is only open to those who follow me on twitter
ii) scripts should be no more than 150 pages
iii) scripts should be properly formatted (if you’re unsure, check here for the basics), and as a pdf file
iv) scripts must NOT be in development at a production company or similar
v) as a writer, you will have had no more than one feature film been released theatrically (anywhere in the world)
vi) all genres are allowed – i like any genre as long as they are written well!
vii) the consultations will take place via skype
viii) scripts must be in either english or danish
ix) the scripts should be completed drafts – anywhere from the 1st draft to the 100th!
the deadline for the logline and one-page synopsis is sunday february 17th at 23.59 gmt
if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at philATscriptguyphilDOTcom or via twitter.
best of luck to you and i look forward to reading some great work
happy writing
phil
