Peggy Bechko’s World: The Gut Knows – Trust It

by Peggy Bechko

I’m talking about writing, but the big plus in today’s discussion is that it applies to life in general as well.

The simple fact, boys and girls, is pretty much all of us have a ‘gut reaction’, a ‘gut feeling’ a ‘trust your gut moment’ at any time and in most any circumstance. Dating? Have an uneasy feeling with that person? Trust your gut.

You’ve written a novel. You’ve found an agent, but you’re not comfortable with that agent? Trust your gut. read article

by Diana Vaccarelli

I’m a kid at heart. Growing up watching Boy Meets World I was super excited about the spinoff Girl Meets World. I’ve been watching this show for the past two season. Season 3 recently premiered and follows Riley (played by Rowan Blanchard), the daughter of Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishell) and her friends as they start High School.hbt

“UP” ROUGH CUT 3 NETWORK NOTES

Hello! Thank you so much for turning around our previous round of notes so quickly.  While we appreciate all the time and effort your team made, we unfortunately are a long way off from being ready with this cut.  The show currently lacks focus.  Where was the bite pass we asked for?  We desperately need to guide the audience through the show and the only way we can do that is with bites, especially with Act One. With a thorough bite pass, we can then guide our audience through the dense rainforest that is our story.  Right now, I feel as lost as that old man!  (BTW he looks genuinely old instead of TV old; any way we can young him up in Color Correction?) Once we get this bite pass done, then we’ll give you time coded notes. read article
