David Stem emphasizes that screenplays cannot be perfected in a vacuum. Getting your pages out of your drawer and in front of others is the definitive mechanism for transforming a raw draft into a commercially viable script. If you’re nervous about bringing pages, that’s a good sign. It means that what you’re doing is important to you, and pushing out of your comfort zone is key to expanding your skills as a writer. Reach out to me, @Anna Fermin , or @David Stem directly if you need support or have any questions about bringing your pages to a premium call. Here’s the link to where you put up your casting and your pages. Here’s the link for the Tuesday, May 26th Premium Coach Call. Here’s the link for the Friday, May 29th Premium Coach Call.
