| THIS WEEK IN HOLLYWOOD: |
"That's about enough of the attitude, Mel."

Greetings!
You
guys have asked and I've listened: you want more added value and
savings because it's still so tough out there with this
economy.
That's why I have big discounts on those four packages named above
and I'm working on some new consultations. But it's still First Come, First Serve and I
have limited open slots so hit me up now.
So it looks like Inception was the movie of
your...dreams? (Should I GROAN or do you want to?)
But seriously, do you want to see it again, like me? It was great
to see a film put forth so many rules, pay them all off and yet I
never felt like there was too much explaining. Okay, there's a few
logic holes in there but I got over them (same as in The Dark Knight) and I
decided to take the ride. Overall, good show, Mr. Nolan and a nice
break from the summer doldrums.
On the television front, I slipped into my alter-ego Telematic Dan and covered the red carpet
at the Mad Men Season 4
Premiere in the Grauman's Chinese Theater complex in
Hollywood. One of my best interview moments is linked to below,
along with some new articles.
Enjoy!

Mad Men star tells me what he wants
to see in a
screenplay!
I interviewed the cast of Mad Men on
the red carpet in Hollywood as my alter-ego "Telematic Dan" and I
asked Vincent Kartheiser what he looks for in a good script.
One word. Can you guess what he
said?
Watch
It!-->

Meta-Structure or "the way in" to
your story: Excerpt from Story Maps E-book!
 I finished up a rough draft of my book this
week and one of my favorite sections is on finding a way into your
unique structure. Examples include Slumdog Millionaire, Little Miss
Sunshine, Hustle & Flow, E.T. and of course, Mad Men!
GO GET ALL META ON ME!--->

The Great Query Letter
-
My Thoughts
"...tell them how much you
love one of their smaller, critically-acclaimed films. They will
appreciate you noticing one of their lesser-known, more artistic
efforts. Do some research and point out an obscure fact about them
and their work that could only have been known by someone who took
the time to do their homework." READ
