This is just incredible. The arrogance. The grandiosity. The self-assurance.

Re: Scriptshadow
Thought he was associated with a script recently. Guess not. Maybe it was just that he agreed with the ranking of one on the Annual Black List.
Does he have the contacts? Isn't Carson Reeves a pseudonym? It would seem that if he has the contacts he would have already attached to something as a producer, no?

Re: Scriptshadow
Maybe you are thinking of getting MEAT noticed?
I'd imagine he knows some people. I just think the idea that reading a bunch of scripts means you can produce is nuts. Especially given the fact that his one-size-fits all, magic bullet, Buzzfeed ten-secrets-to-writing-a great-script-you-won't-believe approach is just so obnoxious.
The guy triggers the hell out of me. And I'm hardly a card carrying member of the politically correct (whatever that means in current context) blue check mark brigades but the guy just strikes me as toxic.

Re: Scriptshadow
Carson Reeves is a pseudonym, and it's not hard to find out his real name with some internet searching. He doesn't trigger me. I also don't buy what he's selling. Occasionally I check out his site when there is a new script out and I want to get a quick run down. I wouldn't rule him out as a producer, but I don't think it's gonna be as easy as he does...

Re: Scriptshadow
The only person with the actual name of the Scriptshadow creator that I could find on IMDb was once an editor for a short film. One 9-minute short “film” from 12 years ago. That was it. No other experience. Now, that might not be the same person — a cyber-sleuthing situation I’ve encountered before — but with that name, what are the odds of that? Regardless, I believe most of us here would agree that Scriptshadow is an aquarium net for catching screenwriting guppies.Last edited by Clint Hill; 02-19-2020, 08:41 PM.“Nothing is what rocks dream about†― Aristotle

Re: Scriptshadow
Love that he says, after all that, "...I discovered what makes a script sell..."
wait for it...

Re: Scriptshadow
This script was featured on his site and producers saw it and it sold, and the writer has since sold another spec.
https://deadline.com/2019/07/kevin-j...on-1202643411/
More recently, a policeman/writer whose script was featured, was contacted by reps who read the site , and got repped/optioned it -- Cop Cam (?)
http://scriptshadow.net/is-cop-cam-t...-scriptshadow/
At this point, that's a better average than something like the Black List (paid service) and no one is paying any money at all, let alone hundreds of dollars. They're just putting up scripts to compete in an "amateur offerings weekend."
I'm not saying anyone should feel any particular way about any of it. And I doubt very much he's got any role in their production. But that is three projects either repped/optioned or repped/sold directly because of his site in a year and a half or so. All specs.
