I don’t know how many people know the story about how YOUNGBLOODS was supposed to be a drama, but anyway, here is when it started to get away from me and I was like, “Well, shit. WTF am I supposed to do now?” So I just said “fuck it” and let it do its thing. #scriptsky

SCREENWRITER AXIOMS FOR PITCHING
Relax, they want to you do well.
Don't pitch every scene. Detailed Act 1, summarize Act 2, bring it all together in end.
They'll sched an hour. Pitch is 25. Rest is preamble and Qs after.
Memorize, read, riff... doesn't matter. Just be confident and passionate.
So...
Y'all find yourself opening this 🌌 app & being friendly to strangers just cuz? I just did a happiness drive by &...I hope that's not weird. 🤦🏿♀️
