  4. I have to share this with you (paraphrased slightly) from the playwright notes I just read from the script “Doubt, A Parable,” by John Patrick Shanley*:

    “It is Doubt (so often experienced initially as weakness) that changes things. When we feel unsteady, when we falter, when hard-won knowledge evaporates before our eyes, we’re on the verge of growth. The subtle or violent reconciliation of the outer person and the inner core often seems at first like a mistake, like you’ve gone the wrong way and you’re lost. But this is just emotion longing for the familiar. Life happens when the tectonic power of your speechless soul breaks through the dead habits of the mind. Doubt is nothing less than an opportunity to reenter the Present.”

    *The script won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

  5. CW: Call for Scripts

    Hello filmmaker friends! 👋 🎬

    I'm a freelance producer who has worked on other people's projects in the past, and now I'm looking for a script to produce and direct myself as a portfolio piece. My preference is:

    - Dialogue-led drama or comedy
    - Under 20 pages
    - Easy-to-scout locations
    - Written through the female gaze, with a female or otherwise underrepresented lead
