I've modified member requirements to allow hot seats and guest for paying members only. This way we get fewer bots and spam accounts, which I have to constantly delete. However if you are one of the original 100 who joined, this might affect you and I want to remedy that. If you are on a free account, go see if you'll be able to join the upcoming Zoom with Phil Starks. If it says you have to upgrade, DM me and I'll upgrade your account, so you can access events like this. I want people to be able to come into the community and see what we are building here for free. Then if they want to fully participate, they'll be able to upgrade for a small fee. So if this affects your account, DM me and I think I have a remedy for that. Thx.

Hey all, I posted a video yesterday to kick the Classroom off. Today I added commentary about the opening of the movie itself as well as how the script is written so efficiently on the page, to convey urgency to the reader. If someone could please a look and make sure everything's loaded up correctly and makes sense! As well as the movie script itself being downloadable. This is such a powerful movie and one I will refer to repeatedly so I strongly urge you to watch it, if you haven't seen it already. Or re-watch if it's been a while. Or we should just have movie night and stream it together ha! Thanks!

I'll be promoting this community, and running a MasterClass talking about big things ahead. Check it out. Would love to have you guys there, so check this out and sign up! MasterClass: The Secret That Saved Shrek 2 -- And How It Could Save Your Script!

Great to have so many new people here! 👋 I’m putting together a schedule for upcoming Hot Seats on both script and story, plus future guest sessions with writers, agents, and producers. Most events so far have been in the mornings, but I know many of you have day jobs. I’ve got some flexibility and can definitely host sessions at other times. Since I’m on Pacific Time, drop a quick line below and let me know what works best for you: 🌅 Morning: 9–12 🌞 Afternoon: 12–3 🌙 Evening: 6–10 (I’m a night owl, so that’s totally possible too.) Can’t promise I’ll match everyone, but I’ll definitely take it into account as we plan the next few weeks. Thanks! 🙏

I'll go first. I have two scripts I finished recently that I need to get in the hands of producers -- Darken the Sun, a horror script, and Another, a Body Heat-style sexy, crazy thriller. Also working on a course for this community that walks people through how I think through a script and how you can use the same tools that I used throughout my career to take your own scripts to the next level. In addition, I'll be working hard to build this community and make it the most-helpful, most-productive #1 screenwriter community on Skool! What are YOU working on this week? What's your commitment?
