SCREENPIT News: Read requests are coming in!!! Don't despair if it's not you. Just know that people are reading the log lines and be happy for anyone who got a nibble and an opportunity Remember even your peers knowing your log lines is a worthy thing because you never know when a mandate comes through, who might recommend you! So proud of all of you putting your work out there and best of luck to anyone who's attracted attention 😉

There have been opinions about ScreenPit since we started 3 1/2 years ago. It's your right to have an opinion but please don't ruin the screenwriter event for other people. When we first started we had nasty pushback by people who work in Hollywood We made a list of those naysayers so we knew who wasn't on our side People were downright mean Here's what ScreenPit does for writers & whether you agree it's a good thing or not, it doesn't matter to us We offer a chance for screenwriters to connect with Industry professionals to get their work in front of decision makers Most of our ScreenPitters aren't repped, don't have access to producers and are damn good writers Is it risky to post log lines publicly? Possibly but we also enter contests, post on ISA, Ink Tip, Stage 32, Script Revolution, Coverfly -- all where log lines are available If you are so far into the Hollywood/Studio way of having your work sent out by your rep to high level producers, ScreenPit is not for you If you're guarding your high concept log lines, ScreenPit is not for you and that's fine I have personally curated a list of 800 Industry Pros (at my own expense) and keep it updated. I use my own contacts in the industry and send out a mailer to these people the morning of ScreenPit to ask them to stop by the bulletin board that is # ScreenPit to see all the wonderful log lines I'm proud of our community and the bravery it takes to list projects publicly whether it's First Page Friday or ScreenPit This event teaches writers to polish log lines, be accessible, get promo materials ready, and also gives writers a sense that they are not alone in their journey Every time we do this event, we have writers who are asked for reads This is a good start to building a relationship with Industry Pros This week, we had 5 writers contacted so far But I guarantee you every participant upped their log line game & had fun So Whether you're a pro at poster making, log line crafting or screenwriting, I'm proud that you put yourself out there and leveled up this week Go ScreenPit!
