The Good: I will be a paid writer! (I've had a couple of things optioned before but it isn't really the same). Decent production price and bonuses.
The Bad: It's not union. Purchase price is okay but not great.
I wanted to share since I've been a DDer for a LONG time. Back when there was a chatroom and a lot more drama.
I started screenwriting in roughly 2000 and then it was ten long years of writing shitty screenplays and giving up several times and getting back into it. During which I somehow built a nice career in advertising which I left in 2012 to give it one last try with screenwriting.
In 2014 I won Tracking B which lead to me signing with a manager which is how I got a general with the production company I'm working with. The process has been sort of chronicled here in a series of questions I asked. In short, I was in a bake-off with two other writers and I won.
It's a low budget elevated horror movie with American and Japanese producers. I think it could be a really cool little movie. I'm shooting for a Rosemary's Baby paranoia type movie.
I know this is just a tiny step and I've got a long long way to go before I'm making a living at this. Seems the closer you get, the farther away your realize everything is. But it feels good just to get the first one out of the way.
