Screenwriters telling it like it is

Thought this was a great movie and by far the most comprehensive thing i've seen on the subject. For us struggling writers out here in LA, it gives us hope, but also shows us that its not that easy and reminds us that it takes a lot of work and a lot of rejection.

A great film for any of those out there with an interest in hollywood, screenwriting, the industry, or just people chasing a dream.

I'm sure it will at least be self-distributed, but I am going to guess that this will be picked up soon. What a gem!

Checked for it on Netflix. No go.

Thanks to everyone who is keeping track of the movie -- video release is on track for very early 2010, to coincide with the publication of the companion book.

Thank ya.

I really appreciated the quip in the trailer, "A screenwriter's job is to get punched in the face."

The book will be available via Amazon and the like I'm assuming?

Much appreciated. I'll put it up on my blog and forum and on another movie board I frequent when I get back from vacation.

Here's the clickable link for peep's convenience.
