I've got a question about approaching a Hollywood connection...turns out an old acquaintance from our church as a kid is a successful director/screenwriter in Hollywood now. Although, I don't know him personally, our families were very close and I'm sure he would be happy to chat. Best way to contact him through IMDB?

Absolutely LOVE the interviews, keep 'em coming!

Thanks.

@Phil: It might be worth checking out Contact Any Celebrity. There's also Contactourage.

Ooh, I'm curious about the new weekly series you have percolating!

Here's an idea for a series: From script to screen comparison.

It's interesting to see what a scene looks like on the page and how it translates to film. There seem to be a gazillion clips from movies available on the internets these days and same thing with scripts so there is plenty of material to choose from.

It could be similar to your Daily Dialogue series where your readers suggest scenes with accompanying script excerpts.

Writing effective action lines is something that I personally struggle with and it would be great to learn from real examples.
