62. I've Noticed that DU Appears to have Banned TruthIsAll
Edited on Sun Sep-25-05 03:43 PM by petgoat
who is the one who brought me to this forum.

I don't think anyone who proposes to work on a screenplay for free is
in it for the money.

"If you want to make a movie, make one."

That takes capital. Internet Intellectual Property takes only time.
The idea is to write something provocative enough that it has
commercial Hollywood potential. Like "Silkwood" or "The China
Syndrome." If I remember right, Syd Field said the script for "The
China Syndrome" came out of a screenwriting workshop where they were
just brainstorming for pedagogical purposes. I thought it was worth a
try to do something like that here. Unfortunately most of us seem to
be operating on separate pages.

"at least give the profits to someone who still actually believes the
election was stolen"

I'm not naive enough to believe that the profits go to the writers (or
the writers' proxies) anyway, and I'm grateful that DU has provided
this forum for the ERD board and the 9/11 board--even if some policies
are not the way I would have them.

In my view, by doing the project at DU we have access to people and
contacts (like Gordon25) that as individuals we would not have access
to. Since the important thing is to get the message out, by working
on the script we are seeking to develop our skills and serve progress.
