Movies are 3rd on my list of priorities in life. I love to watch them, read the screenplays, talk about them, write about them, compare them, and critique them.
Someday, I hope to sell a screenplay to Hollywood and see it on the bigscreen. To that end, I moved to Orange County, less than an hour from Hollywood.
I joined Gather because I heard that it was an excellent place to meet most of my "movie needs" listed above. Soon, I hope to explore more of Gather, make friends, exchange ideas, and change the movie world, not necessarily in that order.
Enjoy as I will.

Vicky and Kari, thank you.
It sounds like you are on your way. You have to share some of your ideas and/or writing with us. I would be interested in seeing what you write. What genre?
Larry - Loved Open Range, boring at first, but then the characters all developed well and from the point where Costner walks right up and BANG with the cold look in his eyes, I knew it was worth the wait.
Alexa - If Blockbuster is a genre, that's all that matters. I know it's shooting high, but I always pictured something big first to pay the bills, then go Indie to put out stuff from the heart. A dream/plan shared by over half of the hopefuls out there, but I couldn't imagine any other way for me.
Alexa: Indie CAN be easier, but not always, and the screenplays are often completely different. More people write Indie style screenplays and get them to the wrong hands (if anyone's at all) while a lot of films that would require a high budget end up in front of Indie readers. It's MUCH easier to write a sellable blockbuster than a sellable Indie, but that's not saying it's easier to sell just because it's sellable.
I know it's weird, but it makes perfect sense to me.
