Andrew became involved in this project over ten years ago and it has gone through many script interations with no one satisfied. So, Andy stepped up to the plate to craft a new version. Join us on May 2nd to review his feature A Coach's Stand, chronicling a truly heroic tale. Logline: After a toxic exposure, leading to ALS, leaves him increasingly paralyzed, a college football coach confronts his toughest opponent ever in a fight for his life and career. Genre: Biopic, Drama Project: Feature film About the Author: Andrew Lemelman has been an attorney in Boston for over
If you’ve heard this maxim once, you’ve heard it a hundred times – the first 10-15 pages of your script need to be killer. You will be judged by these first and foremost, so better make them good. Unfortunately, in recent years, many authors (big name pros and just-beginners) think this means that you need something to happen in that first act that literally makes the reader jump out of his/her/their skin from shock and awe. So, we get more and more opening pages with rapes, murders, incredible violence, suicide – anything to guarantee your bored, overworked 1st line reader
We have 4 vastly different shorts by members Miles Benson, Rick Groleau, Joel Karlinsky and Genine Tillotson. Three of these are new projects and Genine's is a re-write although she's not sure the group ever saw an earlier draft. So here you go: FROM MILES: Dream Clean Logline: When a doorway to the realm of myth is opened in a house she cleans for, a down on her luck cleaning lady and her two friends are reluctantly tasked with stopping a fallen angel, and creatures of legend, from rewriting history. Type of project: Short film - proof of concept
