spec, to writing for established series? #scriptchat
April 15, 2012, 7:10 pm
@jamesmoran: @teenierussell I like them both for different
reasons- TV because it's faster, film because of the release day buzz #scriptchat

#scriptchat I'll need to hold my questions. :-)

months, could take 20 years. Everyone's path is different. #scriptchat
