I got the option through entering a screenplay into the PAGE International Screenwriting Awards, which is run by the people at the indie production company Polaris. It placed in the final, and they then told me they'd like to option it. After me hiring a Hollywood lawyer (expensive, but tax deductible, I kept telling myself... like some kind of mantra) and a bit of negotiation, the option deal got signed. So we'll see if anything comes of it...<BR/><BR/>Lucy! Not sure about actually going to the Edinburgh seminar, as the focus seems to be more on living outside London.

Once I'm armed with those, perhaps I should attend another 'how to break in'-type class...Jason Arnopphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876042845400963850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400514519057660990.post-76099040633084473952007-03-24T19:30:00.000+00:002007-03-24T19:30:00.000+00:00Are you going to the seminar in Edinburgh?
