Nobody else on UA-cam is producing material this relevant and helpful. Keep it up fella.

[@JukeBlue]

I think you personally mastered the point about being someone with whom one would like to sit down with.

[@northernsandwich]

How have I only just found this channel? I’ve learned more from two videos than I have from years of reading and researching! 😂

[@Scriptfella]

Delighted to hear that, northern.

Never been so early before :) Thanks for the quality content!

[@Scriptfella]

Hey Flower Power - yep, sleepless night here thought I'd put it to good use!

[@jackhudkins542]

Considering the title and the thumbnail for this video I thought that Tip #1 would be "Break the ice by showing them a magic trick: put a pencil on the table and make it disappear!"

[@TheAcoStudios]

I don't know if I'm being watched or not, but as soon as I mentioned Script Meetings, you upload a new video haha. Is there anyway you can make a video about writing better script coverage?

[@Scriptfella]

Hey Script Doctor - I haven't seen any of your content but I'd like to check it out - do you have a link?

[@grungyasscinema]

Regarding tip 5, after mentioning another project, how do you turn it back on them?

[@Scriptfella]

Ask them about their projects. The one movie they wish they'd made...Who would be a dream director for them to work with (a sneaky way of finding out what kind of movies they like/are looking for)

Stay away from Hollywood.
Be independent with your music and acting
