You, Me, 2 Hours, a Couple Dozen Film Industry Craft & Business Questions

I recently hosted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Stage 32. Over 600 film creatives and business minded members were in attendance for what was 2 spirited hours of craft and business talk. Some of the topics we covered included:

• The declining value of actors as it relates to the foreign pre-sale market and options on how to overcome the changing market
• The most common mistakes amateur screenwriters make as it relates to getting read and how to fix them
• How some actors are gaining an advantage through their online brand
• Why listening to the wrong voices could set your career back years and how to find trusted advisors
• What are TV executives looking for in a meeting with screenwriters (bibles, character arcs, full series scripts, and more)?
• Should the approach to finding financing for a film begin regionally or should the whole world be in play?
• In an industry that’s all about relationships, how people on the craft and business sides can begin building meaningful relationships today and stand out to people of influence
• Why you are not getting the response from people of influence that you hoped for and what you can do to change the narrative
• How to assure the talent/representative relationship stays productive and progressive
• What constitutes meaningful intellectual property
• The importance of screenwriters knowing exactly what’s happening in the marketplace and how to stay on top of every move to give yourself a competitive advantage and waste less time

This is just a small sample. We covered much more ground and had a blast in the process.
