Who is SCRIPTFELLA?

I'm a seasoned screenwriter, story consultant, film & TV lecturer. I've been optioned or commissioned by over 30 US and UK studios and production companies including: Universal Studios, Working Title, Bold Films, Scott Free, BBC and ITV. Recent produced credits include the award-winning motion picture An Act of Defiance (2017) and the not-so-award winning Hard Target 2 (2016)...

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!"

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?

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

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