Adventures in Indie Screenwriting

These are my experiences writing for micro-budget studios, and indie studios, and artists - along with just trying to get my screenplays optioned or sold or produced. There were a lot of screenplays throughout the years. Many of them I will talk about in this book along with things I have learned, personal preferences I have, some amateur advice, and some hopeful inspiration for other writers. There are screenplays I have written which I will not talk about in this book because they have interest in them from studios and producers, are in pre-production, or tied up by NDA's. And there are some screenplays which I choose not to talk about because I am still pitching them and actively trying to get them produced. I mean, no reason to talk about those here. I've written a lot over the years. I worked as a teacher for the majority of my career, which allowed me to write nonstop during the vacation times in between semesters. I have never been the kind of screenwriter who puts all his focus into one screenplay and pushes it for years. I write and write and write. Oh, and I am not worried about anyone taking my ideas that I have put in this book. Go for it. Write away. Even if someone else and I write about the same, basic idea, the screenplays will be very different.
