This is a basic how-to guide from Charlie Brooker.

I stumbled across this video years ago on Medicine Films. It was created by a man who found the raw footage on a blank VHS at a thrift store.

There is something strangely haunting about this glimpse into the lives of bored, confused, sexually frustrated teenagers in Fairmont, West Virginia, circa 1993.

Late last night, it finally happened. Nathan and I finished Lost Case. Or, at least we are finished writing it… For now.

This is the part where a whole new set of challenges present themselves – namely, how to properly market the script without representation.

We are caught in the “Catch-22″ that afflicts most every unrepresented screenwriter: producers (for the most part) don’t want scripts from unrepresented writers, and agents/managers (for the most part) don’t want writers without a few credits. So what’s a struggling writer to do?

Keep working. That’s what we’re gonna do, at least.

We’ve been lucky enough to make a few industry contacts, and we will be courting them all as best as we can in the coming months.

We are also going to enter a few contests. Having a ‘contest winning screenplay’ surely couldn’t hurt…

And, of course, we are also going to start up the next project!

It’s the start of a new year. And it’s going to be a good one.

Happy New Year everybody!

I found a really cool video today. It is a song and music video constructed entirely by splicing together sounds from the movie Terminator 2. For those who don’t know, T2 is probably my favourite movie of all time.
