Great read on the current state of the movie business
Read it all at GQ.
From the project site, www.stealmyscript.com:
Steal my script was inspired by the one, true Jonathon Coulton, who, back in 2005 started his own "thing a week" ritual. Basically, he wrote and recorded a new song every week. Then he became super famous and people like John Kellogg Hodgman rode the coattails of his success all the way to infamy.
May we have done unto ourselves as has been done unto others.
Steal my script is a similar venture. Except it's not singing, it's screenwriting. And I'm not writing a feature length screenplay a week. That would be madness. Nor am I writing a short every week. This still isn't my full time job.
I'm writing a scene, or a sequence if you will, and sometimes a short.
Every week.
