Any Questions?

I'm working as a runner at the Cheltenham Screenwriters Festival this year, and I was thinking of questions I could ask the delegates if I get the chance, so I thought I'd throw it open to the blogosphere.

If you're not going, and you have any questions you want to ask any of the delagates, (the likes of Ashley Pharoah, Stephen Frears, Tony Jordan, Chris Smith - see the festival website for a full list.) or any questions you'd like to ask of Industry pros in general, then post below (preferably by Sunday evening) and I'll see what I can do.

Can't promise anything, but I'll try to get you some answers!

Lucypalooza

Here's my pitch for the online "Lucypalooza" pitching contest over at www.lucyvee.blogspot.com/

Any feedback would be gratefully received...


TITLE - THE FEARLESS

PITCH- A LOWLY KITCHEN WORKER HAS TO SAVE THE WORLD WHEN ALIENS ATTACK THE SPACESHIP HE WORKS ON.


GENRE - SCI-FI ACTION THRILLER

SYNOPSIS - In the time of the 1st Great Human Empire, Sam Mellor is a Shift Supervisor(2nd Class) on the flagship of the Earth fleet - The Fearless.

When the viscous human-hating Musani take over the ship - intending to turn it on Earth - only Sam and a motley collection of cooks, cleaners, and quacks are left alive.

Apart they’re a mess…

But together they’re The Earth’s only hope.

Can Sam and his colleagues prove their worth, and stop the Musani from exterminating every last human in the galaxy?

And even if they do, will any of them survive to get back to Earth themselves?

Please allow me to introduce myself...

Hello everybody peeps! Welcome to my blog.

I'm an aspiring screenwriter, as if the blogosphere needed another one of us! I used to work in retail management (which isn't as exciting as it sounds) until I was made redundant, so I'm a full time layabout... I mean full time writer now, at least until the redundancy runs out!

I'm just starting out, so no credits as yet, tho I did get to the semis of the BSSC last year. I'm working at the Cheltenham Screenwriters Festival next week, so come and say hi if you're going. I'll try to put a piccie up, not promising anything - I've deleted this post twice!! (The machines are not my friends)

I'll post again before then (if I can manage to get back here!) but feel free to say hi in the comments section.


Later.
