The first few pages of your script are essential to grab the reader.
This Sunday, October 16th, we’re fortunate to have Carter Swan, VP of Trigger Street and
host of “The First 15,” as our guest
for the USA chat at 5pm PDT.
“The First 15” is a web show on Triggla TV, where Carter Swan @CarterSwan
and Philip Eisner @phubar dissect the first fifteen pages
of a Trigger Street Labs screenplay,
along with the brave screenwriter of said script. That takes a writer with
balls of steel, just sayin’. But what’s most important is Carter and Phil provide
thoughtful advice on how to move the writer’s script forward. The critique
isn’t to hurt or insult, it’s simply to learn. By watching the show, your
scripts will improve too. So give it a view Thursdays at 5pm PDT on Triggla TV.
Now let’s meet Carter Swan:
After getting my start in Production I quickly became Paul Walker's
Producing partner at the age of 23. Since that time I have worked in all phases
of the film making business; Good, Bad and otherwise. After being a writer
myself for a few years I have since come back to Production where I was the
Co-Head of Definace Entertainment before settling in as the Vice President of
Trigger Street.
I am a fiend for John Carpenter, Michael Mann, Stanley Kubrick,
Shane Black, Sergio Leone, Scott Rosenberg, Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Walter
Hill, Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher among many many others.
I also love Seattle Sports, my brothers band Fleet Foxes, my dog
Kenny and most importantly, a GOOD Margarita.
HI!
