Morning Sleep

MELBOURNE INDEPENDENT FILM MAKERS FESTIVAL

This friday and saturday is going to be the Melbourne Independent Film Makers Festival. I don't have to work so I'm going to drop by both days and check out the talent. I' m also planning to carry with me several copies of the synopsis for two of my complete screenplays. I'm not on a mission to get noticed, but you never know where fate might strike. I was also thinking about taking several copies of the two scripts, just in case some big shot with connections says, "Let me have it."

Has any unknown screenwriter ever had any luck at a film festival. It can't hurt to take my synopsis and scripts. From what I've read there is going to be several guys who have plenty of experience in the industry. Maybe I'll tackle them to the floor and slip them the synopsis with my contact info. What soda pop should I spill on them to get noticed. Should I tuck in my shirt or be myself and where my black t-shirt with the Statue of LIberty with bombs and oil refineries next to it.

If any one out there has ever scored with connections at a film festival go ahead and share your story. Maybe I should show up pulling a donkey just to celebrate the democrats recent victory. Are you telling me I won't get noticed. Of course I will.

I got it, during the question and answer show I'm going to make paper airplanes out of my synopsis and launch them at the guys sitting at the round table. I'll yell, "JIM MORRISON!" If I don't post another blog on this site it will be because I was registered into Circles Of Care, a mental institute. It's just that when a screenwriter wants it so bad, he or she will go to great lengths.
