Four +? got a producer read requests
One, a BlackList read
One, a Coverfly download
One, a a referral to Industry Execs from a mutual on here as a result of posting
Celebrate!🥳🥳
It's OK if you don't think tweeting loglines is a good idea. Don't join our event.
But, have you ever heard of
@NetworkISA
@Coverfly
@ScriptRev
where screenwriters list projects and loglines?
What about The Black List
@theblcklst
? Ever finaled in a contest?
Again, loglines
We're trending with almost 5,000 posts for

#SeRe

Film Producers! Literary Managers! Showrunners! Development Executives! Hollywood!
We invite you to drop by
#ScreenPit
Wednesday to wander the hashtag page where we expect hundreds of screenwriters to tweet loglines of their finest work.
Screenwriters: Please retweet
If you did not get contacted by anyone but peers during ScreenPit remember, the board is still full of scripts and anyone can head over to look
BUT, you put your work out there & are better for it & that much closer to getting what you want
We were AMAZED at the scripts!
We're THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE we have 14 requests for scripts so far!!!
Way to go 🥳🥳🥳🥳🎬
Let's cross fingers & send out good juju for our screenwriting friends that doors will continue to open for them until the ink dries on a contract!
Let us know if you were contacted!
#ScreenPit

Anyone can drop in to read loglines for days, weeks
Few will be contacted
All will benefit for having participated
Signing with a producer/studio requires talent, luck, persistence, patience & hustle
If you had fun or your loglines are 🔥, you won!
SCREENPIT is over for 2023!
No more posts beyond this tweet are allowed
Next
#ScreenPit
is February
If anything interesting comes of your participation, please let us know
It might be weeks from now but we love to hear!
Thanks to All the BRAVE Screenwriters out there hustling!
Some posts are being bookmarked
This is probably a good sign
But keep in mind industry folks are reading these log lines & there are a lot to go through
Sometimes just getting your work out there makes a producer keep it in the back of their mind for later
#ScreenPit
Screenwriters!
A couple of BIG Hollywood players said they'll stop by

More on that tomorrow.
We're still sending out invites to Industry Execs to check out the available scripts over at our hashtag
If you didn't get a read request, remember, part of the screenpit experience is meeting new writers, supporting them & preparing your work for the call that MAY come
ScreenPit is over for the Writers but could be the beginning for producers, directors, actors, execs etc
An email has gone out to our list reminding them to check out the high level of projects available for reads

#screenpit
success so far!
Screenpit posting is CLOSED for tweets for June 2024!

This community's collective imagination could power a volcano! What a cool show of how amazingly our brains work to entertain us. Kudos!
Let us know if u get a read request or have news!
SCREENPIT is not a guarantee of industry attention
Don't wait for your DM
If it comes, that's AMAZING!
Most won't be contacted by anyone except fantastic writers & that's something
Here's how the industry works:
Getting a producer read is like walking thru a golden door
1/3
Congratulations to Everyone who prepped their work and their supporting materials to get ready for ScreenPit today!
This is what it's like to be a pro. Prepping, editing, pitching, waiting and hoping.
Best of luck to you all!
#ScreenPit
Producers are requesting scripts!
We are hearing from Pitchers in our DM's & although they want to keep it on the DL, we are super-happy for you. 🥳🥳🥳🥳
You never know who is looking, so keep things professional and ready to go!
Pros: The
#ScreenPit
page is full of loglines
#screenpit
looks AWESOME!!
You creatives are amazing and your promo is next level!
Go ahead and ❤️each other's tweets!
Remember, that even if you don't hear from the producer/exec of your dreams, you are doing promo to get closer to that
Getting a film deal happens gradually
Another producer contact from a tweet on
#ScreenPit
!
Also emails to producers who might be interested are being traded in DM's by assistants.
Sometimes you have to query, they can't reach out for liability sake.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
#ScreenPit
starts in 1 hour!
Screenwriters: Are you ready? We hope there will be execs/reps looking for reads 🤞🤞
Producers: Are you prepared for the best unknown scripts by writers who might not be Hollywood connected but are writing their hearts out?
It's all here at 8 a.m.
A producer has requested to read my script after my screenpit posts piqued their interest. Now that the dust of yesterday has settled, eyes are looking. Keep the faith!
BIG Congrats to all who participated in
#ScreenPit

ScreenPit Participants:
Please open your DM's. A Production Company that is scouting is trying to request material and just told us they'd have requested more if the DM's were open.
#ScreenPit
Tomorrow we send another email to Industry Peeps to invite them 2 browse the INCREDIBLE scripts that have been posted today

Be patient
Hold out your hand with food
Stay perfectly still
Don't make eye contact
They might inch towards you or not...
Also, please don't feed wildlife
