Master the Craft of Screenwriting! [check this out]
Would you like to learn screenwriting, or polish the skills you already have? I would like to take you on a journey to meet some of the most dynamic movers and shakers in the film and television Industries. I have created a four-hour documentary that you've probably never even heard about. It's called:
"Writing for Hollywood: the act of breaking in"
You can watch all eighteen clips of my documentary by clicking on the link below. The link will take you over to the MySpace videos and you can watch them one by one. Be ready to take notes. There is a LOT of material we cover.
My premise was simple: if you really want to know how to do something, why not ask the people who are already doing it? With that in mind, I went to the writers, producers, directors and agents in Hollywood and I asked them a simple question:
"If you were standing in front of a High School classroom and you were going to give them advice on what they need to do to break in to Hollywood and become successful screenwriters, what would you tell them?"
I hope the four hours of information is enough to help you on your own personal journey. I also invite you to tell other people about this resource. If you know someone who wants to write for movies or television, maybe you can help them out by steering them in this direction. I'm just saying =)
You know, I'll even make it easy for you. Here's a link:

Aloha all,
Interested to see if anyone is interested in swapping coverage for their script. I'm really busy these days, so meeting with a group would be virtually impossible. But I'm definitely willing to read someone else's script and offer notes.
I'm hesitant about putting my work up on sites like Triggerstreet. I'm hoping to find some solid screenwriter friends here in Hawaii who can offer solid critique.
Any takers?
Damien

We agree - like the way you say "stories about Hawaiian life that inspire the world"! We are working on three such stories right now- really Hoping for the Maui Film Studio to come alive - the world really needs these kind of inspirational "different view" tales And we all know how Bad Hollywood needs some GOOD stories!!
