Hi everyone! I'm Jen, Co-Showrunner on CON! #scriptchat- @jenfieldkane Hello Jen! #scriptchat
hi, it's me, Noah, producer and such for CON #scriptchat- Welcome guys! #scriptchat
- @jenfieldkane great to meet you, Jen, and congrats to the whole CON team! #scriptchat
- @47young1 It's time! #scriptchat
glad to see #scriptchat is still going strong. Been awhile. Hi guys.- @blueneumann Hi Chris! #scriptchat
- Hello all you happy people. This is Dave from the Mitten. #scriptchat
#scriptchat Hello and happy Sunday all!- #scriptchat Thank you, Amy.
- @battyink Hey Andy! *waves* #scriptchat
- Not sure how many of us are attempting miniseries, but let's all learn. Tell us about CON's journey. #scriptchat
Hi everyone! I've missed you the last few weeks. #scriptchat- @jeannevb Thanks! And thanks for taking the time to interview us! #scriptchat
- @Al_1701 Hi David! #scriptchat
- @megankbickel Hey Megan! :) *waves* #scriptchat
- Just to let you guys know, I interviewed Amy and Jen regarding CON for @SnobbyRobot! Looking forward to watching the show! #scriptchat
- #scriptchat Thanks to Jeanne❤️
- @AI_1701 Hey David! #scriptchat
- @jeannevb The most important part of creating CON was making sure we had a solid outline for the whole season! #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 Hi Chris! #scriptchat
- Anyone think there are a lot of series that would have been better off as just miniseries? #scriptchat
- @megankbickel Hey Megan! :) #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto curious, why a mini instead of a standard series? #scriptchat
- @jeannevb We liked the shorter format so that we could also distribute online as well #scriptchat
- Q: Are miniseries easier to do for the web, rather than on TV? #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 Hey, Chris #scriptchat
- Q; By that, I mean are they easier to write and produce as opposed to doing, like a 10 hour miniseries for TV (episodic)? #scriptchat
An analysis of people reading my latest screenplay suggests that the average human reads 0.0006 words per minute. #scriptchat- @SarahAlexis4 We broke down each character's storyline first, then interwove them-- the individual episodes came last! #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 Smaller content is easier to distribute online and the transmedia aspect is definitely a plus, but we're also airing #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto @DylanVisvikis @chae_talley @derrickdenicola @noahpsychs @portiajamas @jenfieldkane I'm also the #scriptchat bartender *pours*
- @AmyMSuto @filmwritr4 generally people expect shorter content for web-based things vs. TV; this changes our process somewhat #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 We broke both the season and each episode into four acts apiece #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto Oh, that's interesting! Is that a standard consideration for miniseries? #scriptchat
- @jeannevb Still don't drink. #scriptchat
- Q: Was there any specific time frame you wanted to put each episode in, length wise? #scriptchat
- @noahpsychs don't forget the #scriptchat hashtag. This site autoadds it. http://www.tchat.io/rooms/scriptchat …
- #scriptchat @AmyMSuto Hi, Amy. I have such a hard time giving up traditional media. What are your thoughts? For example, a lovely book...
- Q: And what led you to create and develop CON as a miniseries, rather than a series taking place over seasons? #scriptchat
- @megankbickel We’re working with a very flexible distributor! So not necessarily, but we have a web series background #scriptchat
- @jeannevb I just realized the problem my bad #scriptchat
- @Al_1701 I'll make yours a club soda. #scriptchat
Q: how long is each episode of Con? IMDB doesn't list time. #scriptchat- @byChrisPhillips About 15 mins on average #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 There's more flexibility on the web with length/censorship, but there are dif. expectations for entertainment style #scriptchat
- I've heard of some web series having their episodes combined into movie format and distributed as such #scriptchat
- @jeannevb Works for me. #scriptchat
Broad City started as as web series! #scriptchat- @filmwritr4 Well, removing the recap content, a miniseries is essentially a movie broken up into segments. #scriptchat
I've heard the term limited event series used frequently. Is that synonymous with mini-series or is there a difference? #scriptchat- @47young1 Traditional media (like books!) can never be replaced, but there's a lot of potential in transmedia and #webseries #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 we liked the style of miniseries (contained&condensed) -- but we're actually doing a second season too! #scriptchat
- #scriptchat @filmwritr4 Sure, the web is great. Don't get me wrong. But, are we losing something of cultural significance?
- @jenfieldkane @noahpsychs @AmyMSuto Very interesting. Would the second season be a totally different story (like AHS) #scriptchat
- @rdlln seems to be the new way to brand a mini - thinking of it more as an #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 We're considering doing a 2nd season, but if we do it that'll be our last. We like stories that have good endings! #scriptchat
- @jenfieldkane Q. Are you taking it one season at a time or trying to plan ahead? #scriptchat
- Did you pitch it or get picked up after making? What was that process like? #scriptchat
- I'm a bit of a webseries idiot. Suggestions, everyone? #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 That's definitely a possibility -- miniseries has so much flexibility in terms of form! #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @jenfieldkane @AmyMSuto No, it would be a CONtinuation of the existing story #scriptchat
- @rdlln sorry, it enter too soon.... thinking of it more as an "event" to attract a new audience to the network #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto That answers my question. #scriptchat
- Are there guidelines on what makes an idea miniseries worthy, as opposed to feature or TV series. #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 We became more aware of how in-depth our outline needed to be, and how to keep storylines simple and contained #scriptchat
- Does the amount of episodes make a difference? I had an idea for a web miniseries but it was 6 episodes, 15 minutes long #scriptchat
- For each episode, I mean #scriptchat
- @battyink Miniseries are generally more contained than TV series, and more character-driven than features #scriptchat
- I personally like series with an overarching plot to have a beginning, middle, and end. Not tease after tease to keep going. #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 harder to write, easier to produce; keeping it slim is an issue, but making it is easier. #scriptchat
- @battyink I would say that Sherlock and Honourable Woman are great examples of good miniseries! #scriptchat
- @Al_1701 That's how comic books and soap operas do it. #scriptchat
- Q: will all the episodes of Con be released at the same time or in weekly increments? #scriptchat
- @noahpsychs @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane When writing, would you approach the script as if you were writing a movie? #scriptchat
- #scriptchat @AmyMSuto My dad was VP at ABC TV in L. A. 20 plus years ago. He was speaking of this then! I staunchly wouldn't listen.
- @filmwritr4 Rather than episode #s, it depends on how well you can keep audience attention-- comedy vs. drama also changes that #scriptchat
- @Al_1701 Endings are important! Thats why we like the miniseries -- the emphasis on having an end instead of continuing forever #scriptchat
- @noahpsychs @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane By that, I mean, are you breaking it down into segments/cliffhangers, etc.? #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 It depends on your production company! Ours is airing our episodes two at a time since we have 15-minute episodes #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane a movie is self-contained, and we have to keep things in an episodic structure #scriptchat
- @Al_1701 We think the same too, which is why our second season in particular is structured like a movie! (with episode twists) #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto Interesting. :) #scriptchat
- @blueneumann Don't like soap operas and many comics at least solve something at the end of the current story. #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane so basically yes, there's a big difference in the formatting #scriptchat
- @noahpsychs @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane I know. How do you approach storylines (A, B, C stories) within a 15 minute episode script? #scriptchat
- @Al_1701 @blueneumann sometimes, but usually they stay in a state of perpetual lack of resolution e.g. the Marvel Universe #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @battyink Absolutely! Sherlock has beautiful cinematography which takes time to achieve, hence the delayed release #scriptchat
- @Al_1701 how can you say you don't like soap operas!? Did you get amnesia? From your twin brother Frank the rich jetsetter? #scriptchat
- I've tried writing these scripts for dramas that I thought would work as web series, but the multiple storylines were hard to do #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 Strong character arcs with achievable wants/needs as well as per-episode themes! These help keep things concise. #scriptchat
- @byChrisPhillips @47young1 Hey Chris! Jen, this is my friend and fellow writer Chris. Chris, this is my friend Jen! :) #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 We had the opposite problem when we started -- we had too many characters and we had to cut them down #scriptchat
- @megankbickel @AmyMSuto @battyink Sherlock needs an accurate term so we can use it to describe what we want to do! #scriptchat
- What I meant is I like accomplishment. Have a season actually resolve something and the next season have something new. #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 if you have a link to your interview with @AmyMSuto & @jenfieldkane shoot out the link for peeps to read after chat #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto Interesting. #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @noahpsychs We have our main characters A and B storylines, and C is just a thematic runner! #scriptchat
- You can have a larger, overarching plot going, but at least make it look like there is forward progress. #scriptchat
- @Al_1701 I TOTALLY hear that, and the Marvel movies definitely feel like they lack in that department. #scriptchat
- @Al_1701 I'd argue that we have that; You'll have to wait til the end to see it though! #scriptchat
- @Al_1701 Absolutely, if the story isn't being motivated by characters going after their goals, there is no story! #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto @noahpsychs Is the C storyline generally lighter in your show, i.e. a throwaway? #scriptchat
- So you're saying a miniseries is the neopolitan ice cream of scripted writing. Sorry I haven't eaten since breakfast. #scriptchat
- @blueneumann I actually think the Marvel movies do a good job of resolving their own plots while bigger things still need work. #scriptchat
- @battyink I literally did the opposite, I ate all the meals of the day AT breakfast! #scriptchat
- @battyink That's a great analogy! And you're making me crave ice cream now haha! #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @AmyMSuto Not a throwaway, but a thematic runner: it reflects the theme of the show but isn't central #scriptchat
- @megankbickel Right?? but it takes time to make something great #scriptchat
- @megankbickel Right?? but it takes time to make something great #scriptchat
#filmwritr4 *highfives* Hi Chris! #scriptchat- @Al_1701 Revolution pissed me with that in particular. Watching a bunch of small-minded idiots fumble around was boring. #scriptchat
- #scriptchat How do you all deal with dialogue in such a short time frame?
- @tjbalfe :) Hey! *highfives* #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 Marketing and casting! Our company has a marketing team but we're doing a lot of the social media ourselves #scriptchat
- Q: Where does Con take place? LA? #scriptchat
- @blueneumann @AmyMSuto @battyink How about torturously slow brilliance of writer-envy-inducing frustration. #scriptchat
- @rdlln We pitched it first and after we got the green light, we started production of the full series (without a pilot) #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 We also played a large role in picking our cast -- we wanted to be involved since they're so integral! #scriptchat
- @47young1 we try to make all of our dialogue count; distinct voices, punchy replies--almost hemingway-esque #scriptchat
- @megankbickel @blueneumann @AmyMSuto @battyink Megan, there are a lot of great web series out there :) #scriptchat
- @steele_bob Hey Bob! *waves* #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 I'm totally counting on your great question skills as I'm on a deadline. Ugh. *peeking in and out* #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 A few of our wonderful actors are actually on Twitter, too! @chae_talley @portiajamas @derrickdenicola #scriptchat
- #scriptchat @AmyMSuto How about the length of each script? Or,(never start a sentence with a conjunction.Teacher me)do you break down 120?
- Hi @jeannevb I remembered to bring my ampersand, heh, getting used to it #scriptchat
- Q. When writing with a definite finish line, how do you handle pacing so the climax isn't too soon or too late? #scriptchat
I'm just here so I don't get fined. #scriptchat- @47young1 We wrote each episode 15-20 pages, knowing some would be longer or shorter! #scriptchat
- @Al_1701 Oooo, that's a great question for all screenwriting! #scriptchat
- @chae_talley Thanks, Chae! #scriptchat
I'm just here so I don't get coned. #scriptchat- @chae_talley Hey Chae! *waves* Welcome! #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @jenfieldkane @AmyMSuto lots of pitching, references, and support from station members. #scriptchat
- @chae_talley Aren't we all. #scriptchat
- @chae_talley you're being fined 3 lbs. ground beef #scriptchat
- #scriptchat for each web episode, do you follow traditional, "standard" incident, plot, mud, resolution?
- @SarahAlexis4 Thanks! We're so excited to air. We pitched and had recommendations from people who worked there! #scriptchat
- I one time wrote a spec script season for a reboot of G1 MLP. Kept its story self-contained in the 26 episode span. #scriptchat
- @47young1 Yep, we definitely keep the same story structure, just truncated and simplified and serving the larger story as well! #scriptchat
Pulled up to a closed bridge while working on the new script… http://bit.ly/1Pdft87 #amwriting #scriptchat- @filmwritr4 I always called "mud" the rug pull. It's like things are going to resolved but go horribly wrong. #scriptchat
My poolside writing sesh went longer than anticipated. Wrote un-distracted, the pool babes were all Helen Keller towards me. #scriptchat- @dwacon Just came in from the poolside myself. #scriptchat
- Also shoutout to our actors -- they brought so much to their characters that wasn't on the page! #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane Does the scripts focus more on the two main characters as opposed to secondary characters? #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @AmyMSuto Outlining with index cards! We have so much going on it's important to make sure everything CONnects! #scriptchat
- @blueneumann Don't have a pool here. Do have lakes a little ways away. #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 Jen and I love the same types of stories -- dark stuff with complex characters! #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane I was wondering if that made doing each episode easier, including the B and C storylines #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 you are so getting a raise. *pours tequila* #scriptchat
- @dwacon Hey Dwayne! *waves* #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane Our leads are the A story, but every character has a need and want! No one is just a filler! #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @AmyMSuto questioning everything, and paring down as much as we could. we brutally murdered our darlings #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @jenfieldkane Absolutely -- since we also write the conflict and goals of every scene on the notecards #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane Were there any movies/TV shows/miniseries that inspired you to create CON? #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 Orphan Black, Chuck, and Sherlock! We liked the lighthearted but still dark tones of those shows #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @AmyMSuto They're a great tool! It also makes sure every scene has a purpose! #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane amy loves Chuck, and you can see that influence. Anything i put in was Archer-inspired. #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane For each character and their storylines, how many scenes do you write typically? #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 Collaboration starts up top: Amy and Jen set up a wonderful story to play in, and an excellent team to play with #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @AmyMSuto screaming, bitterness, acceptance that sometimes things must be cut, laughter. #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 We had a lot of convos w/ our directors about how long scenes would take to play out, what was necessary for story #scriptchat
- I'm sorry, but I need to do this. *from deep within a dead planet* CON!!! Okay. Got that out of my system. #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 Then we really got connected through CON puns :) #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @noahpsychs @AmyMSuto Sometimes there are passionate arguments, but in the end it's about what's best for the show #scriptchat
ARCHER and CHUCK??? I need to watch this show! #scriptchat- #scriptchat @AmyMSuto and Jen. Sorry, Jen, I can't get your handle to come up. What about an extreme horror? Too out if mainstream genres?
- @Al_1701 fun fact: I jokingly suggested a comic-con episode for season 2, where Jonah would scream COOOOONNNNN!!! #scriptchat
- @wcmartell I want to see archer meet Chuck, at the least #scriptchat
- @blueneumann They give you Helen? #scriptchat
- @wcmartell Thanks William! #scriptchat
- @wcmartell please do we worked so hard and our witty lines will go to waste otherwise #scriptchat
- @dwacon @megankbickel If you like current events based comedy/satire of cable news, my web series @LateLateNewsTV is streaming! #scriptchat
- @noahpsychs scream so loud that someone can hear you in space.... #scriptchat
@AmyMSuto @SarahAlexis4 Amy was great about making everything super clear in script meetings. #scriptchat- @SarahAlexis4 We wrote Evelyn with @portiajamas in mind since we knew she could pull of the twist we wrote for her character! #scriptchat
- I seriously need to watch me some Orphan Black #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @AmyMSuto @theNikkiDee basically created Iris; we incorporated most of her suggestions and ad-libs #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @AmyMSuto After casting, dialogue rewrites were much easier knowing what our amazing actors brought to the table! #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 We wrote Aiden & Miles w/ very specific characters in mind -- were lucky to find @derrickdenicola & @chae_talley #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @DylanVisvikis we talked about character intention, purpose of each action and how it applied to the story #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 @AmyMSuto I come from a writing background, and I came in to do a midseason episode, so we dug deep into story #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 Additionally nothing can replace seeing an actor bring your work to life -- so inspiring and unreal #scriptchat
- #scriptchat I love the idea of women antagonists. Your thoughts?
- @jenfieldkane @47young1 @AmyMSuto Not to mention comedy/drama... but I suppose I should not mention it... #scriptchat
- @dwacon I know, Orphan Black is amazing!! Deserves so many more accolades #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane Did any of the actors improvise, or was there room for them to improvise (if they so choose) on set? #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto @SarahAlexis4 This is one of the most amazing parts! It's weird to hear your words in someone else's mouth though! #scriptchat
- @47young1 We tried to create a lot of strong female roles, to balance out the dearth of said roles in mainstream media #scriptchat
- @blueneumann I need to binge watch season 3 when it comes out... #scriptchat
- @jenfieldkane @AmyMSuto @SarahAlexis4 That's the great part. Not just having someone read dialogue out loud during a table read #scriptchat
- @47young1 so interesting and unexpected when done right, society doesn't expect women to be villains & it's so fun when they are #scriptchat
- @jenfieldkane @AmyMSuto @SarahAlexis4 But especially hearing actors read those lines and perform those actions on film. #scriptchat
- @dwacon I saw Tatiana in Parks and Rec and crushed so hard, "who is that beautiful woman?" i asked myself. Lo and behold... #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane Our actors did lots of improv, which made the characters more real! It was a lot of fun! #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane my favorite is when nicole slapped chae and called him a pussy #scriptchat
- @47young1 I pitched an ensemble with female lead and antagonist to a cable net. Waiting on the outcome... #scriptchat
Q: Do your notecards extend across the season as well? http://amysuto.com/wp-content/uploads/2015-06-28-12.55.56-1.jpg … #scriptchat- @SarahAlexis4 @AmyMSuto Lots of google docs and index cards! We also made character webs to help keep us on track! #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @jenfieldkane @AmyMSuto @SarahAlexis4 but also you can see more ad-libs on our website: http://contvshow.com/videos #scriptchat
- @jenfieldkane @filmwritr4 @AmyMSuto Where's @derrickdenicola? Some hilarious one-liner improvs from that man #scriptchat
- @blueneumann I will mention your crush to her while we are on our honeymoon... #scriptchat
- #scriptchat speaking of female antagonists & other roles,how 2 pick a good female actor?I'm a chick.I have a hard time thinking about it.
- @filmwritr4 Our actor @derrickdenicola actually comes from an improv background & he had a lot of fun with our monopoly episode! #scriptchat
- @47young1 Just FANCASTING a female character is hard, there's so few women in movies it feels like there aren't many options! #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @dwacon @47young1 Yes, we do note cards for the full season and individual episodes! And lots of googledocs #scriptchat
- @47young1 @jenfieldkane @dwacon the same you'd pick any other actor; just find the person that embodies the character the best #scriptchat
- (I might miss the last chunk of #scriptchat because I need to slay my family at Cards Against Humanity. We shall see...)
- @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane @noahpsychs Q: are any improv lines/actions written in the scripts afterward? #scriptchat
- @blueneumann If so, we'll see you next week, but have fun playing with your family! :) #scriptchat
- (but we're not all here yet, and these guys are real slowpokes, so...) #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @AmyMSuto @jenfieldkane after callbacks, we rewrote iris and jonah's dynamic; nicole and joey basically CREATED it #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto @filmwritr4 @derrickdenicola Monopoly should make a version based on our show. #CONopoly #scriptchat
- @portiajamas @AmyMSuto @filmwritr4 @derrickdenicola first person to get angry and dump the board all over someone wins #scriptchat
- @portiajamas @AmyMSuto @filmwritr4 @derrickdenicola Just what the world needs, more variations on a game no one plays correctly #scriptchat
- @47young1 We were so lucky to find @theNikkiDee -- she embodies a badass female character but is still human #scriptchat
- I wrote a script with a female lead, a female ally, & a female villian. A female beta asked where all the men were. #facepalm #scriptchat
- I asked mainly because I thought about going back and rewriting the parts of my scripts that were improvised before copyrighting #scriptchat
- @noahpsychs Okay, that IS the right way to play, the game is supposed to frustrate you to that point #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 We look for different kinds deceptions-- traditional cons; love; etc within each character and apply it to story #scriptchat
- @megankbickel They were hiding? #scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 @dwacon @47young1 We took a class where we lockpicked and learned about con artists! That's how the show began #scriptchat
- @megankbickel Weird. Very weird. #scriptchat
- @AmyMSuto @filmwritr4 @47young1 Real life experience helps mucho mas. Guess I should bet my White House comedy in shape… #scriptchat
- @dwacon Haha! :) #scriptchat
- @dwacon Apparently their supporting roles made them invisible...hmmmm...#scriptchat
- @filmwritr4 I know. I was floored. #scriptchat
- @blueneumann Will you be the card czar tonight? #scriptchat
- @megankbickel @dwacon I got a note about a female lead, “That’s the kinda role Hollywood used to make.” Really? When? #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 Novels are great because you create every aspect of the world; but I love tv/web b/c I love working w/ a team! #scriptchat
- @dwacon @megankbickel Ironically, the earliest screenwriters were almost exclusively female! Not sure how that played into roles #scriptchat
- @jenfieldkane @dwacon @megankbickel Yeah, I remember the event honoring one of the first at the WGA... #scriptchat
- @byChrisPhillips Only if I get... "syphillitic insanity" #scriptchat
- @megankbickel And there's also still issues with platonic female/male relationships too... it's all about changing perspectives! #scriptchat
- @jenfieldkane @dwacon @megankbickel well that explains why screenwriters have been historically screwed #scriptchat
- @denisefennell No worries. It's okay. Talking about screenwriting with the writers of a web miniseries as part of a weekly #scriptchat
- @DylanVisvikis @jenfieldkane @dwacon @megankbickel that's a reason we subverted the "guy has unrequited love for girl" trope #scriptchat
- Q: One other question regarding writing for this show: how do you approach writing the action sequences? #scriptchat
- Final Five Plug: FREE! Vintage Screenwriting #1: HOW TO WRITE PHOTOPLAYS by Anita Loos (1920) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UMSC33M/secretsofactions … #scriptchat
- @jenfieldkane It seems like you cannot have the male and female leads just be friends. Even two female leads must be romantic. #scriptchat
- @dwacon @jenfieldkane @megankbickel Unfortunately it feels like "gay male friend" has become a stereotyped trope- more to change #scriptchat
How'd everyone do on their goals this week? http://facebook.com/writeononline #writeon #scriptchat @GuidedGoals- @Al_1701 @jenfieldkane @wcmartell well id point out 30 rock as a counterexample; Liz and Jack never fall in love. #blesstinafey #scriptchat
- Thanks everyone for having us! Please check out our website if you want to know more about CON! http://www.contvshow.com/ #scriptchat
- Includes chapter on Women Screenwriters in Hollywood... over 50% of all silents were written by women. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UMSC33M/secretsofactions … #scriptchat
- @Al_1701 It may be a trope, but we're trying to break that! Although, sitcoms often have platonic relationships too! #scriptchat
- #scriptchat I hope it's not to late for my knitting comment. I meant to show how funny and absolute role reversals can be.
- @jenfieldkane Sitcoms basically live by them. #scriptchat
- Thanks for being here #CONtvshow #scriptchat
- @SarahAlexis4 We'd love to do season two! The positivity we get from our cast and crew keeps us going #scriptchat
