Raindance film and television festival – great website for information, screenwriting courses, newsletters and of course, the festival itself.Having been the director of development for TV/film director Jonathan Kaplan ( Unlawful Entry, The Accused, NBC's E.R.), I had the unique and special opportunity to read screenplays, as well as fiction and non-fiction books and articles, to see if there was anything which might interest him as a directorial assignment.Īnyway, it's funny (funny-pathetic, not funny-funny) how you can notice certain simple, common failures after reading one or two thousand screenplays.Īpplicable to drama or comedy, these obvious faults aren't any laughing matter.
