Jefferson Quote

"The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do." – Thomas Jefferson

Chekhov Quote

"My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying." – Anton Chekhov

Hemingway Quote

"All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer." – Ernest Hemingway

=======================================================
(2) Ask the Script Pimp Expert – What Does "On-the-nose" Dialogue Mean?
=======================================================

Professional or beginner, at some point, everyone is going to find themselves having just written a scene that's on-the-nose.

What does it mean? Essentially, it's when a character is speaking precisely how they're feeling or thinking, without room for the reader/audience to fill in the blanks when it comes to a particular character's emotions, thoughts, and so forth.

Why is this bad? Well, for one, picture the scene playing out on-screen: what's more interesting, leaving subtlety to a conversation, or having two people explain everything for us? For the vast majority of audiences, the latter of those two options can be uninteresting, dull, cliché, sappy, and a host of other negative results. Not to mention the fact it doesn't give proper justice to the complexity of your characters.

So for instance, compare these two lines of dialogue:

MARCUS: "Because it's not totally about you, it's about me and my own problems. I love you. I'm just really upset because you cheated on me with my best friend, Dave, when I was at work, so I need to move out."

Or. . . .

MARCUS: "I left a key for you. . . I figure Dave can use the back door, like usual."

The second option gives away the same amount of information (e.g. he cares enough to leave a key for her, is still bitter about the affair, etc.), but with greater nuance. Though it's out of context, you can get an idea of what to stay away from when writing dialogue, especially in an emotionally-charged scene.

==================================================
(3) "The Living Wake" in NYC – Screening
==================================================

Script Pimp's first production company credit, The Living Wake will be showing in New York City on November 19th, 7:30 p.m. at Tribeca Cinemas.

(4) Cinestory Contest – Earlybird Deadline November 16th
===========================================

Each year, CineStory runs a screenwriting competition like no other. It's unique because each of the semifinalists are invited to the CineStory Writer's Retreat—four days of heaven in the beautiful mountains of Idyllwild, California.

Whether winner, finalist, or semifinalist, all retreat attendees get four 90-minute one-on-one sessions with CineStory mentors and staff, all of whom are practicing and respected industry professionals. During these meetings, attendees can discuss everything from the script(s) they submitted for feedback to jumpstarting their writing careers. When not meeting in one-on-one sessions, writers participate in mentor moderated "informal rooms", which cover everything from pitching like a pro to the state of filmmaking in the digital age. In addition, mentors and writers gather for meals, drinks, film screenings, and other special events.

Earlybird Deadline: November 16th, 2008 ($40)

Grand Prize: Winner(s) receives $2000, free entry to CineStory Retreat (valued at $1500), and two mentors for ONE YEAR.

Direct advice and one-on-one interaction over the phone or in-person. Iron out the issues in your script in the most efficient way possible.

Script Pimp story analysts are now available for one-on-one development meetings with writers.

Feel free to come with a list of questions to be addressed, and steer the conversation in any direction you wish.

Our analyst will read the script twice before the meeting and come with his/her own notes. If the script is at the point that it should be shopped around town, we will give you concrete suggestions as to where the screenplay has the best chance, and the companies that would most likely be interested in the material.

The cost is $550 for Script Pimp Writers Database members, and $650 for non-members. If you would like to set up an appointment, please E-mail Matt at matt@scriptpimp.com or notes@scriptpimp.com.

Former Script Pimp "Recommend" writer Brian Watanabe's screenplay, Rogues Gallery, is currently in post-production. Script Pimp owner Chadwick Clough serves as executive producer and first brought the action/comedy project to Sean McKittrick's Darko Entertainment.

The film revolves around two teams of government assassins, using code names from the Tarot deck, who work in a secret underground facility. On The Fool's first day at work, his and the teams' boss is killed under mysterious circumstances, and they must find the person responsible before the facility explodes--or before the potential rogue kills The Fool and the others first.

Fouad Mikati directs an ensemble cast which includes Joe Anderson ("Copying Beethoven," "Across the Universe"), Odette Yustman ("Cloverfield"), and Emilie DeRavin ("Lost"), as well as veterans Bob Odenkirk, Ving Rhames ("Mission: Impossible 3", "Animal"), Ellen Barkin ("The Big Easy"), Will Arnett ("Arrested Development"), and Jeffrey Tambor ("Arrested Development"). Film is produced by Michael Ohoven ("Capote"), Sean McKittrick ("Donnie Darko"), and Kevin Turen.
