The Charmin Effect - great quick read

[2wheelfilms]

Hi all

Found this blog the other day and then stumbled across one of the best writing-related posts I have come across. May be old for some of you seasoned pros, but for me it was immensely revealing and HELPFUL re: structure and numerous other issues that have been dogging my script writing efforts -

Charmin Effect

Nice find! .... good advice

I'm happy the advice was useful, but much of the article is soft selling the author's script doctoring services -- and let me say, she ain't cheap. Maybe she's worth it, but for literally 1/10th her rates try this guy, http://alligatorsinahelicopter.blogspot.com/. I've had my scripts read by everyone from Zoetrope bottomfeeders to WGA guys with multi feature credits. He's the best and fairest of them all.

The Alligator guy has some nice insight on movie box office performance. I'll bookmark it also. thx

Here's the guy I like, his book is really good, one of the very best IMO.
