China-Hollywood Screenwriting Fellowship - cranefly - 12-22-2016 Greg? You looking for a break from the deck and the documentary editing? Just sayin'. Quote:The 2017 Orb Media China-Hollywood Screenwriting Fellowship is open for applications!Not much of a bloody heads-up, with a Feb. 10, 2017 deadline. Details at: China-Hollywood Screenwriting Fellowship Sometimes... - cranefly - 01-24-2017 Sometimes even a late draft needs a bit of work. The Fantastical Waterclocks of Cao Jinsong - cranefly - 01-31-2017 If you're interested, a mature, if not final, draft (after all, there's still ten days to deadline). As always, all feedback is welcome. The Fantastical Waterclocks of Cao Jinsong (117 pages) only fair that i give it a pass - Drunk Monk - 01-31-2017 Well, since you read so much of my stuff, how can I refuse? I'll try to get back to you ASAP, given your deadline. RE: China-Hollywood Screenwriting Fellowship - cranefly - 01-31-2017 Thanks. For what it's worth, here's a photo I found on the web that comes close to the Magistrate as I imagine him. I think this dude is Korean, but what the hey. My Magistrate might be a bit older, longer faced, more rugged. But close. so far so good - Drunk Monk - 02-03-2017 I'm halfway through and taking a break. It's engaging so far, but I keep seeing Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast as the waterclocks. Also 'fillip' is a great word I did not know before. finitoS - Drunk Monk - 02-04-2017 Funny - I thought of the Game of Death nod with the mention of a tall Jabir. Not sure if that will hit home unless there's a yellow jumpsuit with black racing stripes, but I was pleased with myself having foreseen that. Been trying to come up with some more constructive criticism but nothing yet. Maybe I'll have more when we journey to the west. I enjoyed it. Still had a hard time visualizing the waterclocks. Steampunk transformers?

If a girl, Cartwheel. It's important to make a lasting impression on your offspring so they will never ever forget you. I'll give some deep thought to visualizing the waterclocks better. I myself don't have a clear vision. That could spell trouble, considering that the effin' screenplay is about them. Into the Pot - cranefly - 02-13-2017 Well, I'm in. Submitted it on the deadline last Friday after 40 days effort. I'm thinking screenplays were never meant to be written in that amount of time. Oh, and there's a parallel Fantasy & Science Fiction screenplay contest going on as well. So I submitted it there as well. Multiple submissions to contests are allowed and encouraged, because the wranglers want all the money they can get. Hard to say what my chances are. From what I've read, it's a total crap-shoot, because you have to get past the first readers, who are paid next to nothing and don't really give a shit and are just itching for a reason to cast submissions in the trashcan. So the best submissions seldom make it to the final round, which real professionals evaluate. Not certain if that hurts or helps my chances. I'll say something that may sound arrogant but it's not meant to be. I really don't want to go back to China again. I'm not nearly as adventurous as I used to be: And I feel a lot more vulnerable these days. But I'll deal with whatever comes my way. Because if I ever start focusing on what's behind me, that's when I'll see the ninjas closing in. RE: China-Hollywood Screenwriting Fellowship - Greg - 02-13-2017 If you win, I promise to go in your stead and represent you. It's the least I can do. Plus, if you want a list of book festivals, my mother can help you.

Story of my life, bro. Story of my feckin life. Good luck! Not enough talent in China - Drunk Monk - 03-03-2017 Quote:Why China's Screenwriters Are Thriving Solution: All of DOOM should move to China - cranefly - 03-03-2017 Thanks, DM. Nice to hear that the past year's bust is being blamed on poor product, not on product saturation. The China-Hollywood Competition results will come in the March 10-24 window. Yep, they're moving very fast on that. I also entered three more competitions: A Science Fiction and Fantasy category screenplay competition through the same organization (Screencraft) A PAGE International Action and Adventure category screenplay competition A PAGE International Science Fiction and Fantasy category screenplay competition Results from those will come months later. That's about a $150 investment on my part and I'm drawing the line there -- though my inbox keeps filling with new competitions. Boy, have they triangulated a sucker. Maybe I should just go to London and pick up an award already. Quarter Finalists Just Announced - cranefly - 03-07-2017 Okay, the quarter finalists have just been announced. This represents the top 20% of submissions, which now move on to the second round. There's a staggering 164 quarter finalists, which means there must have been around 820 submissions. That's a lot more than I would have expected. Of the 164, 18 are Chinese language submissions, and I can see cases among them where the same writer submitted multiple works -- which is allowed. Odd. I expected a lot more Chinese language submissions, especially in light of DM's post above. Anyway, yeah. I'm still alive. https://screencraft.org/2017/03/07/orb-media-group-china-hollywood-screenwriting-fellowship-quarter-finalists-announced/ RE: China-Hollywood Screenwriting Fellowship - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 03-07-2017 cranefly, Cranefly, CRANEFLY!!!!!! |
