Yep, this is the most exciting action you’re gonna get! Way cool, no?
A newlywed couple living in a tiny space in a very big place:
So here’s the deal. We saw the Indiegogo page for OUR STUDIO and thought that it was so sincere that it was just plain charming. “A new Web Series funded by the Wedding of Adam Rini and Megan Hughes?” We also thought that if we liked two of the three characters as much as we did (the third character is a cat; we aren’t cat people, sorry), then so would the general audience cuz it’s the interaction of the regular “family” that makes a TV series a hit. (Or a miss but why go there?)
We bookmarked the page and scheduled a time to post the recommendation and the link and then…read article
So, one evening a few weeks ago, freshly back from ATL, I found myself walking throughBellevue Hospital. If you’ve never been to Bellevue, and this was my first time, here’s the visual: It’s HUGE. There’s a big relatively new glass structure that takes up a full city block in front of the old building and you have to walk for, what feels like, miles through bleak linoleum hallways that have piped in smooth jazz playing to just get where you’re going. Kinda like Vegas. Without the carpeting and fake boobs.
No, I wasn’t admitting myself, though, sometimes the process of putting out/promoting aweb series has made feel like I was going crazy. Johnny, the brother of one of my oldest friends had been riding his bicycle over the Brooklyn Bridge, got in an accident and was/is in a coma in the Neuro ICU. Yes, avid bikers, he was wearing a helmet and riding in the pedestrian lane and yes, I am officially crossing riding a bike off my list of things I’m planning on ever doing.
I was there to visit him, the family and lend some support. Is he gonna make it? I sure hope so! And hope he makes a complete recovery. But it’s too soon to tell. One thing it’s done is definitely put things in perspective. Which brings me to Rollo.read article
We know, we know. Right now you’re probably asking, “What’s TVWriter™ got to do with ComicMix? That’s a comic book site, for crying out loud!”
The answer’s very straightforward: More and more comic book and graphic novel properties are being bought by major studios and networks for films and TV.
Plus, more and more writers with TV series ideas are turning to the comic book format as the place to introduce those ideas to the public. Comics/graphic novels often can be much more effective at getting the series’ potential across to those in the know than mere proposals/scripts. And they can get the concepts directly to a paying audience.read article
Sofia Rodriguez, Jesenia, Junio Teixieira workshopping an episode of Becoming Ricardo

In the beginning:
A concept comes to you. You put pen to paper and are on a roll. Now, you’ve got a complete script full of story lines and characters and ups and downs and twists and turns! You feel confident that it’s ready to be filmed right away! A writers’ biggest mistake (and often those who are new to the industry) is to immediately cast actors and start filming, just to see their work come to fruition. Why not, right? That’s all it takes, right?
NOPE – WRONG! You’re missing one of the MOST IMPORTANT steps to the writing process, and that is – WORKSHOPPING YOUR SCRIPT! Creating the product is the first step – but developing that product into something that speaks to the audience(s) that you’re trying to reach is one of THE MOST important steps!
Why? Because workshopping your script will allow you to hear what all artists fear most – criticism! Albeit constructive, in order to better your work and to further develop your product for maximum grown and the utmost quality possible. Criticism is often the easiest and most helpful way to achieve a strong, solid project worth distribution, branding, and the attention of those hard-to-reach executives who could possibly offer sponsorship and perhaps, a production deal. After all, the entertainment industry is BUILT on criticism – so get used to it – because you’re going to get it A LOT!read article
