I just signed the contract for my First Ever Paid Script Commission, and posted it off to Magician Pictures. Just had to stop and re-read that sentence, there, and it felt as good to absorb as it did to write. I've spent this week writing a 10-page treatment for the feature-length project, which is currently known as ASK, and then I've got five weeks to deliver the first draft. Director Dan Turner and I have developed the idea, and Dan will direct. We're also working on a short, which will hopefully be filmed beforehand. Marvellous! See those fireworks? They're happening inside my brain.
Yay! Hooray! Hoorah! Well done you.
ReplyDeleteMay I be the second to congratulate you, good sir. I shall eat part of tonight's celebratory chippy tea and sink a few litres of alcomohol tonight in your honour.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ms Smith! And ooh, Mr Conway, a chippy dinner. That sounds like a damn fine idea. As does the alcomomohomol.

ReplyDeleteNice one! any chance on you elaborating on contracts and options and stuff or is it confidential?
ReplyDeleteHello Jason. I know I don't know you I know from a bar of soap, but congratulations anyway. It's like witnessing the birth of a new star in the night sky for all us writers!
ReplyDeleteHello Jason. I know I don't know you I know but congratulations anyway. It's like witnessing the birth of a new star in the smog covered night sky above London.(2nd draft). Let us hope this has a snowball effect to all us writers.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Way to go, Jason!
ReplyDeletewell done sir
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and three cheers for Jason Arnopp, Proper Screenwriter™.
ReplyDeleteA chippy tea is always a damn fine idea before embarking on a night of carousing. I think it saved me from a hangover from hell and the cursing of your very name this morning.
ReplyDeleteBloody good show Jason.
ReplyDeleteThe first of many I've no doubt.
Thank you, you frighteningly special people.
ReplyDeletePotters: Without elaborating too much, it's a nicely straightforward set-up. Magician are paying me to write the script, no options involved. :)
