Hello Everyone,
Went to a Networking Evening at 'Tiger Tiger' in Newcastle, organised by Northern Film & Media.
Had a GRRRRRRRREAT night. I haven't had Double Gin and Tonics for ages!! Well rough the next day.
Anyway, I met some REALLY friendly and interesting people (mostly Producers and the 'odd' Writer).......we exchanged chat, ideas, and more importantly.....Business Cards!! Afterall, it's not WHAT you know in this business of show......
There was a slight technical hitch with 'MY' Business Cards mind......the bloody ink came off on your fingers if you rubbed too hard!!!! Not the best advertisment for a Scriptwriter!! Anyway, they were an 'ice breaker' and people felt genuinely sorry for me. What can i say? If i can't have your admiration, I will take your pity instead, thanks!!
Got a new batch of cards printed now though, so Producers of the world, beware!!
I have since sent a Short Film Script to several Producers I met on that evening, and I'm eagerly awaiting some feedback - good or bad. I have broad shoulders and a thick skin, i can take it!! Will let you know what they think ASAP.
I'm still waiting to hear from a Producer regarding my Feature Script (we'll call it 'FOTL' for now). It got past the company's READER, who found it "very interesting," and now I'm just waiting to hear from the BIG CHEESE HERSELF!!!!!.......Fingers, legs, eyes and t's all crossed!!!!
Ok, that'll do for now. I'm off to watch SHAMELESS......."Scattaaa!!"
