Friend-of-the-Blog Debbie in San Francisco has just informed me of another impending deadline. August 20th is the deadline to submit a spec pilot to the slamdance teleplay competition. So if you have one all ready to go, I’d suggest you slap it into the mail.
I didn’t know much about this competition until this year, when I found myself working on a writing staff alongside a previous winner who has nothing but good things to say about his experience.
The Grand Prize Winner gets cash and some sort of interaction with the good people at Fox 21 — some of whom I know and can vouch for. This is a legit deal and I encourage you all to submit your scripts.
Lunch: delicious sandwiches crafted by Mrs. Ron Moore, who took care of feeding the Battlestar Galactica writers during an impressively productive writers’ retreat. Thank you, Mrs. Ron!
