Love the sunken place. That was just brilliant on Peele's part. Especially the visual of it in the movie. A really haunting image. By the way, my post is because a writer friend of mine read my syn...

Think about it like this: character is story and story is character. Whoever your character is will change the trajectory of the story. Whatever the circumstance is will determine what the character w...

In Get Out I would say the main character goes from being a black man that blindly embraces the humanity of all people (white folks---represented by his girlfriend) to the stark reality that you can o...

Hi Sandra. I missed that those also. Both docs look good to me. Thanks for taking time to set that up for us. Had some good news this week. Won semi-final honors at the INTERNATIONAL NEW YORK FI...

Sandra, sorry, I didn't respond earlier. I agree with the agenda. Simple and straight-forward. You are a very organized thinker. Wished my mind could function that way. I'm way too messy!

Thanks for bumping. Not sure how I missed it! The agenda looks good to me. I have nothing to add. Thanks, Sandra! By the way, is the meeting via video or is it strictly a phone conference?

Oh. Here's a horror movie. Tyler Perry's Acrimony -- some scary moments in that one. Can you name the trope for that one? Oh did you see Sanaa Lathan in the Aliens vs Predator. Sci fi/Horror Movie Bla...

I also enjoy seeing a convention turned on its head. Get Out is an inspiring film in terms of the fresh take on horror. American Horror Story is on TV but the show utilizes numerous tropes -- asylum, ...

Big Shout out and thank you to @scmpbllsbcglobal-net for putting this group together and being so organized. I can't wait to meet the whole group and get inspired. Another big shout out and thank you ...

Thanks, Sid and Amber, for your feedback!

Great job, Meemee! Sandra, I will be sending my goals and projects to you later tonight. Thanks for ALLLLLLL you do, Sandra!!

@admin Hi Sandra, My goals include: Submitting my log line/synopsis to the group for feedback/notes by this Saturday, April 18th. Submitting my script to the group for coverage no later than April 25...

My Goals for Get Out: To write a dark comedy script and get it sold. Writing Goals Outside this Genre: To publish a few plays, a series of children's books and comedic tv show on my life as an actor...

Thank you so much.

Hi David Yes I have to get better with understanding the process and having patience. Looking forward to the feedback. Nine drafts on the scripts and thirty nine for the pitch. I hear you. Long ro...

Thanks Sidney If we keep at it, we will OWN these festivals and competitions. Looking forward to reading some OBS scripts this weekend

Truby is great and even better in person. Love the book. The Screenwriter's Journey is a must have for writers. Disney lives by it.

Thank you Yvette I will keep working at it. Yes an example of the revenge would give it more impact. Great idea. The Wikipedia version is the 'townsfolk' version. Mine comes from the black folks v...

Thanx Mr. Wilson Great idea to check the synopsis of the flicks I compare it to. Especially since it already worked for them. I need to submit the script so I can get pointers on that too. It needs...

No i didn't use the form. For Chris's project. Will do.

Greetings Just joined the group. Have written a project for this genre. Need feedback on it. Tried to do it as low budget. Look forward to reading your scripts. So Aaron, any relation to Adrian D...

I like a twist on who the antagonist truly is. As the story unfolds, the true villain is hidden until the end. Then your brain thinks back to see if it is logical. It's great when it fits together ...

It depends on how you use tropes. I think it's always effective if the writer finds a way to twist a convention to elevate the material or satirize it in some way. Like Wes Craven did with the "girl a...

Sandra, I copied the coverage information. I Don't want to make too many mistakes but I too want coverage. David thanks for giving the lineup of how to present our work and Thanks to Sandra for giving...

Love the historical spin they used om ABE. One of my favs

@mtaylor_123yahoo-com I actually did it the "right way" the first time. And then did the "wrong way" the second time. I read your instructions and will look them over again, thanks. I also emailed Ch...

@mtaylor_123yahoo-com Did you feel that squeeze? That was me giving you a great big virtual hug. GREAT JOB! Thank you for making my life a little easier. Everybody else, please remind your fellow memb...

@christopherharmon Sorry you didn't get my notes. I probably made a mistake on filling the correct name fields. I just re-sent them with the adjusted fields. To be on the safe side I will attach a co...
