Tammi, Thanks for posting this and also thanks for your notes. I'm going to try out a couple of your ideas. Ron

Watch Black Noire this weekend on Shudder and loved it. Last night I watched Scream, Blacula, Scream and enjoyed it as a guilty pleasure. The first Blacula was directed by an African American director...

@scmpbllsbcglobal-net Thanks, Sandra. Put the meeting on the calendar and I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for the logline document. What a great resource! Bravo! Found an interesting tv horror movie...

@scmpbllsbcglobal-net Thanks, Sandra. Put the meeting on the calendar and I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for the logline document. What a great resource! Bravo! Found an interesting tv horror movie...

I'm a crime drama guy so I loved Bosch (I've read all the Michael Connelly novels about him and his series about Mickey Halley, the Lincoln Lawyer who practices out of two Lincolns while driving aroun...

Thanks, Sandra. Got the requests

@mtaylor_123yahoo-com Everytime I've tried to watch, I fall asleep! I'll try again at some point because so many people have deep feelings about it one way or the other!

@bonitaheresbonita-com A recent example of what didn't work was that awful Mark Walhberg take on SPENSER om NETFLIX.( It was based on the novel, WONDERLAND written by the original author's successor.)...

@bonitaheresbonita-com Friends of mine really like Stephen King. I haven't read a lot of his books but the adaptations I think are most successful are the ones that really emphasize character instead ...

meant to say "You're absolutely..."

@bonitaheresbonita-com Your absolutely right about the adaptation process. Some books are inherently easier to adapt to the screen because they are very visual. A majority of Michael Crichton novels (...

@scmpbllsbcglobal-net Burt Bacharrach and Hal David did the music & lyrics for Promises, Promises. Dionne Warwick's hit, I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN, is from that show. Double Indemnity was rema...

@scmpbllsbcglobal-net Loved the movie Prisoners. And loved the musical, PROMISES, PROMISES that was based on The Apartment.

@admin Wow! Never knew that, David. The effect, though, was interesting. I remember my friends and I would take bets when a black character showed up in a horror film, how long it would take them to r...

@tonyboonsbcglobal-net Just getting ready to watch MOLLY'S GAME and I wish I could have the script in front of me as I watch it. Sorkin is a playwright so his dialogue is stylized but jumps off the p...

One of my favorites is A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE that was based on graphic novel. The script is better than the novel. There are absolutely no wasted moments or words. It lean and tight like a good noir p...

Shout out to Kathy and Lavisha for providing me, Ron, with such thoughtful and valuable feedback. Really appreciate it. I'm moving forward with a number of projects in different states of development....

@scmpbllsbcglobal-net When approaching these networks i.e. Lifetime, Halmark, etc., you can either try the network development execs or look for a production company that has a successful track record...

@scmpbllsbcglobal-net There's definitely a market for these films if you have a taste for that. The company I'm in contact used to be affiliated with Hallmark and now they are on there on and have a s...

@christopherharmon I think both of the responses had valuable ideas to work with in terms of refining your pitch. The thing we must all remember is that everyone has an opinion and you only need one ...

Good stuff, ladies. Many times my manager will ask me for loglines because that's what companies ask her. Recently a company read one of my pilots, met with me, and then requested 3 loglines. These we...

David, so glad you put this out there. My first agent was Marcus Wiley from WME and though we parted ways in a kind of strange way, I respected him. (He repped Tonis and I back in the day). He moved o...

I think since we all struggle with getting the logline to it's most effect form, this would be a good topic for discussion. Maybe we should even touch on it during the next virtual meeting. The loglin...

@christopherharmon Just double-checking---you did get my notes, right?

@mtaylor_123yahoo-com Ahh Happy Birthday, Ms Taylor!

@wrco-777gmail-com Really love the fact you have such a strong visual sense and can actually sketch/draw images from your mind to help move your concepts along. A great many artists are gifted in mor...

I meant to say the categories in the fellowship were 1/2 comedy, 1hr Drama, and features. There was also a directing program which the extraordinary Seith Mann was a part of. Now that brother works al...

@purposedproductionsgmail-com Jana, I see your point. Unfortunately, too many people take what they see in a "biographical" film as gospel. We are storytellers and our first imperative is to entertain...

@scmpbllsbcglobal-net Thank you. Passed right by it the first time. Got it. Will be there.

I wrote some thoughts on SELF-MADE on Facebook. Not going to rehash it here but I will say I don't expect a narrative film to be 100% accurate. I do believe it's important to have integrity in your ap...
