Actually, I DO have proof .....and I already posted it.
Where? I don’t see any “proof”, just an opinion or an assumption, based on people’s e-mail sign-off’s. For the record, I use “Kind regards” and “Best regards” interchangeably.
In real life the Executive would have been considerate, tossed out a few accolades and moved on.
Would he? And you know this how?
The "Director" person wrote this in his opening email:
I am a produced and optioned writer.
I have 3 ready to go, high concept, highly marketable scripts.
I am a writer, director; actor and producer who wants to mainly concentrate on writing only at this time.
I have made several short films, including best short XXXXXXX at the XXXXX film festival.
I have written, produced and directed low budget flick ‘XXXXXXXXX’
And what he could have meant was:
I am a produced and optioned writer
of a short film, produced by my fifteen year old sister.
I have 3 ready to go, high concept, highly marketable scripts,
even if I do say so myself.
I am a writer, director; actor and producer who wants to mainly concentrate on writing only at this time,
despite the fact that I may or may not be very good at it.
I have made several short films, including best short
winner at the
Cheesestrings Underground film festival,
which had a very poor attendance and was judged by two blind monkeys.
I have written, produced and directed low budget flick ‘XXXXXXXXX’,
which, as you can see on Rotten Tomatoes, has a current rating of 19%.
And from this you are making assumptions, believing, based on a person’s own personal opinion of himself, that they are a good writer.
Regardless of whether this is a work of fiction or not, we know that, in this instance, the producer didn’t like the script. You’re suggesting he should tell the writer that it’s “good work” anyway. What benefit does that offer to anybody?
