Hi all, new to the boards.

I'm a filmmaker who currently has a script with a Beverly Hills agent, hoping he likes it and calls me! I also have the same script in the final round of the Sundance film festival screenwriter's lab to be held in January... results come in December. Praying I get that. Went to film school, made a few shorts, but mostly focus on writing screenplays, perfecting the storytelling craft. But I'm also very visual and want to direct mostly.

Here's my chart: http://www.astro.com/cgi/showgif.cgi?lang=e&gif=achart_hx2file4fFQhX-u1092079908.14492.7289.gif&res=63&va=

Not sure if anyone has insight into what's going to happen, but the past few years have been personal hell for me and I'm hoping things turn around for the better.

Spielberg got started by just showing up at sets every day. They finally started greeting him by name. He was a nobody.

The guards finally started saying, "Good morning, Mr. Spielberg."
