Query Letters!<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I get a lot of messages from people with 'ideas' and questions on how to approach a Screenwriter or Producer with an idea, so I have compiled this post to give the full monty on the subject! This advice would work well in approaching other professionals as well and what to think about before you put finger to keyboard.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Spammy style messages don't do well with any pro. I get many Sir's and Mr's (I'm a girl!) and no name queries and also lots of bland, waffly, extremely vague queries (takes-10-paragraphs-to-get-to-the-point, if any) messages and after many years working in the industry, I now loathe them with a passion as it get's in the way of the genuine stuff I love to discover in my inbox. I get a few hundred e-mail a day and people blindly spamming my inbox are not the highlight of my day, so please, before you write to someone - think!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's best to be very specific when approaching writers, what it is exactly you want from them:</span></b></h3>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Feedback on an idea</span></li>

</ul>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Get to the point. Professionals don't get much free time to spare on long waffly e-mails. They'd rather be writing screenplays, or keeping up with their connections and social networks.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What the writer needs to know, to know you're serious:</span></b></h3>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>• What stage is the project at? </b> An idea, story, published/unpublished/self-published book, synopsis, treatment, unfinished script/full draft script, etc.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>• Research</b> - If research is needed, have you got all the research together or will the writer be required to do all the research/extra research work too? (The latter can be unappealing if it's a subject they may not be interested in, as this can be a huge investment of time and energy when they could be writing/researching their own projects.)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>• Do you have professional film experience in any capacity?</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>• Who else is involved in the project? </b> Other writers, producers etc.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>• Is it Feature, short, television?</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>• What Genre? </b> Try and pick a writer you know loves the genre or has experience in that genre. A good tip is to look at their favourite films and interests and what are they sharing online.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>• Credits: </b>what is the screen credit to be, if applicable?</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>• What's your writing budget? </b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Money talks louder than anything in the industry. This is the budget to hire a writer, not the budget to make the movie (though it's useful to know if it's low/medium/high budget concept), not what you *think* it could make at the box office, which is a sure fire way to get laughed out of the room! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">'Good ideas' for movies are ten a penny, especially to professional film creatives. Value lies in the well written screenplay. If you're short on budget and all you've got is 'an idea', you're going to need a writing budget, or bring value in another way. If you can't do that, you will have to write it yourself or hope to get lucky and find a random newbie writer that will write for the experience. If your project is going to be written by an inexperienced writer, are you going to be better off writing it yourself? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Deferred payment literally means 'no payment' to a professional. Be respectful. Asking someone to write a script for free is disrespectful to the writer and craft. Be honest about your situation and be respectful and occasionally people may be quite helpful if you ask nicely enough (also see top tips below). </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If you don't value another writer enough to write your project, do it yourself. If a writer is going to work for free, it will be for themselves on their own work, something they're connected to and passionate about. Where they have full ownership and destiny is in their own hands.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If you have no, or little money in your budget, what else can you offer of great value that money can't buy (this does not include imaginary 'box office' takings, but a tangible value to the writer, like you really get on together - genuinely. You have great industry contacts/kudos/attachments to the project)</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>• What are your plans with the completed project? </b> Have you already got people lined up/attached? Are you self producing? Have contacts already? Or are you looking for a screenwriter with contacts? </span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The latter approach is unlikely to be successful as most screenwriters save contacts for their own projects and for people they've known for a long time and have a long-standing professional relationship with. Nobody likes users, it's a good way to close doors, so if you are just looking to use someone's contacts for your own gain, pro's are likely to pick this up and can be very guarded. </span></blockquote>

<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Top tips:</span></b></h3>
<div class="p1">
<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A decent 'why?' and good value proposition is what's needed to engage a Screenwriter, or any film professional. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Keep it brief, friendly, genuine and professional. Don't waffle. A great query letter is just a few paragraphs long, succinct, engaging and piques curiosity. Don't submit/pitch ideas until requested. All you need is to answer the above questions. It covers both you and the writer for unsolicited submissions, which the industry generally loathes. If they like the sound of your proposition and what you have to offer, they will request further information.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Does the screenplay/idea fit with the writer's interests? This can add a lot of value to a project if you're short on funds. Shared interests/common goal has an intrinsic value to a creative person.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Know who you are writing to. Do your research, put in the time. Why have you approached the Screenwriter you have approached? 99.9% of query letters are impersonal and random. Spam, basically. To stand out from the crowd, make your approach personal, as film professional's tend to get massive amounts of correspondence. Do you interact with them on social networks? Are you supportive/active/humorous/friendly there? Or are you scary/stalking/awkward/pushy/needy? Are you liking/re-tweeting/commenting? What do you have in common? </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A query letter out of the blue is more likely to be successful if you're familiar and a known quantity of support. Think of the industry as a tribe of monkey's. There's a strict hierarchy and 'back scratching' is a good way to make yourself popular and liked in a community. This can lead to more genuine connections. Best to pick people to network with that you actually have things in common and like as a person. The more meaningful and genuine the connections are, these are the ones that make stuff happen. Patience is a virtue.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If you have no industry contacts, there's lots of places online (such as <a href="http://www.stage32.com/profile/95474/jen-govey" target="_blank">Stage 32</a> and <a href="http://uk.linkedin.com/in/jengovey" target="_blank">Linked In</a>) where you can begin to cultivate genuine and meaningful professional relationships. Join groups, get involved, interact, share your knowledge! Social networks are a great way to show support to new online friends. Be a giver and doors are more likely to open. If it's all about benefiting yourself and what you can get out of it, doors tend to close and people become cagey and distant. The people that complain the industry is a closed shop are most likely to be asking a lot from random strangers with no real thought to that these are actual humans who worked hard to get where they are. They are NOT filmic vending machines.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A brilliant youtube video about this very subject, by the wonderful <a href="http://www.playshorts.com/PlayShorts/PlayShorts.html" target="_blank">Joe Wilson</a> (<a href="https://twitter.com/joewilsontv" target="_blank">@JoeWilsonTV</a>).... just incase the message hasn't quite sunk in...</span></b></div>

<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Understanding how the industry works and why it works as it does is of vital importance when navigating the industry.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Just to reiterate, 'good ideas' for movies are ten a penny in the industry, a good idea that has been developed into a great screenplay is what holds the most value. When approaching writers be mindful of this. A 'good idea' is not generally enough, unless you are a professional, or paying customer, or are bringing something of actual value to the writer to the table. Don't self aggrandise, "My idea will make you millions", etc. Stick to facts and tangible value.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Have no expectations, you either get lucky, or not. Even if you get a 'no thanks' think about connecting on social networks and showing your support. Most 'no's come as the person is an 'unknown factor', or they don't provide the right information, it's not what they are looking for (do research) or the person is just too busy with other projects and commitments. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Have patience! It can take a while to respond. As mentioned earlier, film professionals tend to get a huge amount of mail. If deep in a project (or in my case I also have ME/CFS to contend with at the moment, which limits my energy) mail can build up to the thousands and it's not always easy to catch up and stuff can get missed or end up in spam boxes.</span></div>

Living the dream while recovering from ME/CFS<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hello all!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Cool stuff coming up:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>• Site Redesign &amp; Update</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>• New Screenwriting projects</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>• New YouTube channel</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am currently undergoing a big redesign of my website. I had a very bad relapse of the ME/CFS over the last few years, which hit me very severely and I am only just recovering in the last month or so, which has meant I have not been able to put any energy into this space or my website for a while. A long while. I've been concentrating on my recovery from what has been a truly devastating illness. As I am slowly recovering I am catching up on updating my website, responding to correspondence that I missed and getting back to my writing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Seriously, I don't quite know how I've made it through the last few years. ME/CFS is so much more devastating that the name 'chronic fatigue syndrome' confers. It is more like flu you never seem to be able to get over and on a good day it feels like the worst hangover you've ever had and a crushing fatigue that is difficult to describe. Nothing like healthy 'fatigue'. You basically feel really ill, but get very little in the way of medical help or sympathy. It's pretty awful really and a patient is basically just left to 'get on with it'. Amazingly we do adapt, but need strict pacing and a super healthy regime to regain ground from the illness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've been very lucky. Apart from having the most brilliant family ever, I've found some amazing help from <a href="http://www.freedomfromme.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Optimum Health Clinic</a> in London, <a href="http://www.active-healthcare.co.uk/" target="_blank">Active Healthcare</a> and a Kineseologist called <a href="http://www.gillfarrkinesiology.co.uk/" target="_blank">Gill Farr</a>, which so far seem to be making enough of a difference that I can now sit up and write this and have spurts of ability to do 'stuff' in small portions, which I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to have a little bit of my life back! Yay! :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am now strictly pacing my activity, which means I'm having to be very strict on how I use my time and energy. All I really want to do right now is continue to recover, write and enjoy myself and time with the family, so I am not going to take on any extra work and just concentrate on honing my craft on my own projects. I intend to start keeping a video diary of my next screenplay on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/jengovey" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, sharing the process and hints and tips I've picked up along the way. That's if I can get used to the idea of being in front of the camera!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The upside of the ME/CFS is that it has given me a lot of down time to think and ponder, which has meant I am now bursting full of stories. There's nothing like traumatic life experiences to focus the mind, even if that mind is a little addled with ME/CFS brain-fog. Life is too short and precious and we really have to make the most of what we have on this planet and I've come to the conclusion I was born to be a storyteller and the medium I choose is screenwriting for film. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I wonder if the ME/CFS was the messenger for me to truly understand this and stop me in my tracks until I got the message. I started writing at first just as I really couldn't manage anything more physical with the ME/CFS, but what if it was more than that - a secret calling from my soul to step up. A big walloping hint from the Universe to follow my destiny. Since I've taken up the idea, me as an actual, real Screenwriter, life just seems to flow and I've had so much support, it's like the universe is screaming out for me to write more and offers me cool people and help and encouragement everywhere I turn. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The pure joy of actually being able to sit upright long enough with some semblance of brain function is just so wonderful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It actually feels quite magical, as if the whole universe is conspiring. I've pretty much always thought as myself as the best assistant on the planet, here to assist the industries greats... but what if... what if I'm actually here to CREATE? Something much more ambitious than assisting. Putting my authentic self and vision on the line. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've always been the little squirrel diligently and passionately working behind the scenes, but somehow the cocoon of serious illness has metamorphasized me into something else. Maybe only an experience of losing so much, our identity of who we *think* we are can we fully embrace what we actually are in the moment? Our potential. Our souls calling. Can we actually hear a soul's calling when life is so busy and hectic doing? Would I have started writing if I had not got ME/CFS? Probably not. I was way too active and adventuring for that much sitting down and thinking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Since I've started to come out of the fog and desolation of illness I feel new growth emerging from the metaphorical ash from the forest fire that is ME/CFS. Can squirrels emerge from cocoons as butterflies? Is the case of making the impossible, possible a shift of reality? For I sure feel lighter, brighter and ready to fly!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I hope my slow but sure ongoing recovery from ME/CFS will inspire people to overcome their difficulties and any obstacles and follow their dreams. I will endeavour to write more blogs with my philosophies and ideas on wellbeing and success and the many methods I have used to overcome my own challenges and stay positive and focused on my goals and aspirations. Although I may make these as YouTube videos and save my typing fingers for my screenplays!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

I do have a habit of randomly disappearing and have done since probably longer than you can even remember... unless you just met me of course, you will just have to use your imagination there. Anyway, "you've just been busy Jen" I hear you say and yes, that's very true as I've been extremely busy and I'll share more about that later (my next blog - it's all very exciting at the moment!)... but maybe it's just one of those crazy little things that makes me, me. I have to go and recharge and process my often overly intense creative thoughts and give my brain a rest, you know that habit of me getting very excited and cramming my life full of ideas, projects, thoughts, friends and... stuff... so I'm fit to explode...?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/teach_yourself_astrology"><img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j93/jentopia_photos/misc/tyastro/tya-cover.jpg" border="1" width="200" align="right" alt="Teach Yourself Astrology"></a>Understanding ourselves and our eccentricities is part of the exhilarating journey of life and I have long been exploring astrology to gain an insight of who I am. My friend (and published author) <a href="http://www.tenzindolma.co.uk" target="_blank">Lisa Tenzin-Dolma</a> has helped me to deepen my understanding by interpreting my Natal Chart in her fantastic new book, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/teach_yourself_astrology">Teach Yourself Astrology</a>.<br /><br />If you are curious of what makes me tick, what motivates me, where my potential lies and are curious to know me in a deeper cosmic sense, your curiosity can be given some possible answers through the interpretation of my chart in this book. It's actually quite astonishing the information you can find. What kind of work you are suited to, what kind of man (that was very interesting! hehehehe) and it can even show your potential for success. Thankfully, the celestial forces haven blessed me with a Venus trine MC and a Jupiter sextile MC, which means great things for my career! WooHoo! :D<br /><br /><img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j93/jentopia_photos/misc/tyastro/Lisa-sofa.jpg" border="0" alt="Lisa Tenzin-Dolma" width="100" align="left">Anyway, I was absolutely delighted and flattered when Lisa asked if she could use my chart to demonstrate interpretations as a part of Teach Yourself Astrology. I am wondering if it was a particularly nice alignment of the planets that helped it along, or the fact that I had been delving deeply into my own chart looking for answers to help with my healing and life journey. I had been stuck on this little icon which looked like a key sat up in Aries in my eleventh house. It was quite strongly aspected with my Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus and I wanted to unlock its secrets. I couldn't find much in my astrology books so I called my friend Lisa. I always call Lisa in these situations as she has a wondrous abundance of knowledge, and as usual she came through with flying colours and opened up a whole new meaning to my chart and a deeper understanding of myself.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/teach_yourself_astrology"><img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j93/jentopia_photos/misc/tyastro/planetary-myths.jpg" border="1" width="200" align="right"alt="Planetary Myths"></a>The key, I discovered was Chiron, the wounded healer. With Lisa's coaching and additional reading of her previous astrology book "Understanding The Planetary Myths" I came to learn more about the psychology and deeper meaning; that Chiron reminds us that only through recognising and accepting our inner wounds can we find true healing. It was one of those Eureka moments. Maybe it was coincidence that Lisa had just been asked to write Teach Yourself Astrology while all this self-discovery was going on and she was just as fascinated with my chart as I was at that moment in time. Of course I leapt at the chance of Lisa delving even deeper into my cosmic closet for the book. The experience has left me a lot more confident about my potential in the film industry. I kind of always knew I was destined, but it's fantastic to find my potential and motivations in my chart, and how I can make it work for me and what I need to watch out for. I'm even looking forward to meeting my future man, a prospect I had previously found totally bewildering! (You'll understand why if you read the book)<br /><br />Lisa has created an amazing book and if you have any interest in exploring yourself using the wisdom of my friend and the ancient art of astrology I highly recommend it (not that I'm bias or anything ;o) It's innovative presentation of astrology and its format allows you to understand, in a more practical way, your psychological make-up, how to make the most of your untapped potential and how to overcome your personal hang ups and demons. <br /><br /><img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j93/jentopia_photos/tv/alan-p.jpg" border="0" width="100" align="right">Knowing me knowing you... ahhaaaaaaa...<br /><br />Okay... okay... I'm just a little excited!! So excited that I had to share this glorious news, now it's become official. There is an official MySpace Page for the book and if you're very lucky the author Lisa Tenzin-Dolma will stop by and say hello. The book could be released anytime from September-November, but is currently available for pre ordering on Amazon. I'm sure I'll give you all a reminder when it's out! =)<br /><br />If you are on MySpace like me, the meantime please add Teach Yourself Astrology to your friends list:<br /><center><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/teach_yourself_astrology" target="_blank"><img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j93/jentopia_photos/misc/tyastro/tya-cover.jpg" border="0" alt="Teach Yourself Astrology"></a><br /><br /></center><br />Thank you my dear friends! <br /><br />Happy Creating!<br /><br />Love, Jen xxJen Goveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04432450196954719881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20879601.post-1175353098370069492007-03-31T16:47:00.000+01:002007-03-31T16:58:18.456+01:00My New Websitewww.jengo.8m.com is now <a href="http://www.jengovey.co.uk">www.jengovey.co.uk</a><br /> <br />Yes!

It was so cool I just couldn't help myself and joined. It's just such a great feeling to see all my favourite movies together. I get that excited feeling in my belly. Is it just me, or do you feel like that too about your favourites? I love movies!!!!!!!! :D I think I may write another blog about why they are my favourites. Later - I'm supposed to be updating my new website! hahahaha Do you procrastinate too?<br /><br />Love Jen x<br /><br />My flixter movie wall: <br /><br /><div style="float:left;width:420px;position:relative;font-size:0px;margin:0;padding:0;"><ul style="width:420px;list-style:none;font-size:0px;margin:0;padding:0;"><li style="float:left;display:inline;width:140px;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;

My solution? A forum! Discussions can now be more specific and deeper and the choice of which topics you wish read and discuss is up to you, rather than whatever arrives in your inbox as part of a circular. It also makes it much easier to promote yourself and share your news in the relevant categories. </span> <span style="font-family:arial;">The yahoo film group will still function as normal and be available to all that want to stay in touch that way, but members who especially love to talk the hind legs of a donkey and yearn for a more in-depth discussion but not want to worry about overloading mailboxes can do so freely in the forum. I have set up several areas, including a professionals only area (I just learned how to make a forum private last week!) as well as area's dedicated to screenwriting, acting and independent film-making. Other specific areas can be set up on request. I hope it would then encourage a more specific dialogue between members allowing them to choose what subjects they want to get involved with as well as encouraging a larger membership base. Networking is one of the most important things in film-making.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://p1.forumforfree.com/jengofilm-profile.html?mode=register" target="_blank"><b> <span style="font-family:arial;">Register</span></b></a> <span style="font-family: arial;">and join in today!</span> :) <span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />Other new pages on my <a href="http//www.jengo.8m.com/">website</a> are 'the screening room', which contains a list of links to the various online cinemas that are springing up all over the place. Now that pretty much anyone can make and distribute their own movies online - where does this leave the film industry in general?</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Another big update is my famous links page. Many more actors and directors are getting their own websites now and some seem to be quite involved with them. You can now ask many renowned actors and film-makers questions directly to them via their sites and you can find some real gems, such as Roger Moore explaining to a fan why he thinks the British film industry is failing to meet it's potential. I for one think he's got it exactly right. Even William Shatner has a Blog where you can read the delights of him selling his ex kidney stone for $75,000, with the proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.<br /><br />I intend to update my funding page next as the links seem to go out of date faster than any others!<br /><br />May you enjoy the new additions.

It's great to actually put down my aspirations and share them with the world: "This is me, this is what I want to do, this is my philosophy" and I am hoping it's presence here on the net for all to see, will act like a cosmic ray, reaching out to likeminded film-makers on the planet. If it doesn't? I still have my plan to guide me and give me strength of purpose... A Mission. If it does? Bonus! I get some great company to make the journey of life more exciting and fun. It's a win-win situation!<br /><br />Jen<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">MY MISSION STATEMENT</span><br />1. To write and produce entertaining films<br />2. To always aspire to be the best film-maker my abilities allow and to push the boundaries and strive for excellence in my work<br />3. To not let difficulties or obstacles deter my mission, but feed my inner strength and develop my problem solving skills.<br />4. To improve the lot and respect in the industry for writers<br />5. To encourage film makers to get the script right before pre-production begins and invest more time in script development and polishing.<br />6. To encourage film-makers to be more thorough in pre-production, so when in production the focus can be on creativity, not catch up and miscommunication.<br />7. To encourage more respect for post-production and use it more effectively and not just to 'fix' what went wrong in production<br />8. To raise the bar in British film-making and be more competitive and effective in the global market<br />9. To encourage British film-makers to be more adventurous and cinematic.<br />10. To build a more sustainable British film industry, not quite so reliant on outside investment and to promote a better quality cinematic experience.<br />11. To encourage the sharing of knowledge over self interest and ego<br />12. To discourage bulls**t, egos, takers and users who don't want to pay or respect their cast and crew, those that suppress talent to bolster their insecurities/ego and those that just want to work in the film industry, more than they want to actually make films. (i.e. they want to work in the industry to 'meet famous people', show off and give their ego a boost rather than they have an actual interest in film-making and producing something amazing)<br />13. To be loyal to those that help me and to collect together the 'good guys' of the industry; those who's passion for film is bigger than their ego and self-interest, those who don't need to use bulls**t and can be honest and true to the film, those that can respect their fellow technicians as equals and inspire them to do their best work.<br />14. To seek out and encourage genuine talent, nurture it, help it grow and inspire others to reach for their potential<br />15. To enjoy the process and put the fun back in film-making and the passion back into the craft.<br />16. To grow both as a person and a creative force and to learn all I can about the craft and to never stop learning<br />17. To change the world for the better through film and the expression of ideasJen Goveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04432450196954719881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20879601.post-1137082973069908702006-01-12T15:47:00.000+00:002006-01-12T16:22:53.076+00:00My New Official BlogWelcome to my new site blog and news page! <br /><br />I will post any site updates and news here, along with my own work related news. <br /><br />My personal blog can be found on <a href="http://www.myspace.com/filmtopia">MySpace.</a><br /><br />My old news page can be found <a href="http://jengo.8m.com/pages/jengonews.html">here</a>.<br /><br />You may have noticed I've been absent a while and not so many items have been updated on the site as frequently as I would like and I haven't been fantastically fast in responding to my e-mail. I am also battling/recovering from an often debilitating, chronic neurological illness known as M.E./CFS, so it's slowed me down a bit - so apologies to all those waiting for updates and interaction. To counter this I have created a forum to make the site more interactive.<br /><br />Jen's new <a href="http://p1.forumforfree.com/jengofilm.html">Film-makers Forum</a>!<br /><br />The good news is I have been making a good recovery with the help of a very patient acupuncturist and an osteopath/naturopath. I have still some way to go, but the outlook is very bright. :) The M.E./CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) may have made achieving my ambitions more difficult, but it has not been able to stop me, as I am determined to overcome this challenging period in my life and turn it into a positive! (More news about that in my next blog.)<br /><br />My first hope is that this will inspire others to not let difficulties and obstacles get in the way of achieving their dreams. My second hope is to highlight this much, maligned, denigrated and misunderstood illness, which affects an estimated 240,000 people in the UK - That's roughly 1 in 250 people! This figure is rising, creating serious economic implications for the UK, which is compounded by a scandalous lack of government research and NHS services for people with ME/CFS.
