This past Saturday was epic for aspiring writers everywhere. For the first time ever, there was a “twit-pitch” logline contest via Twitter hosted by ScriptShadow (aka Carson Reeves). The rules were simple: pitch your feature script logline in 134 characters or less along with the hashtag #tp12 from 2pm-4pm PST. The best logline authors will have to forward the first 10 pages of their script for review. The top 20 will submit their full script and 1 winner will be chosen. If you’re not familiar with ScriptShadow or how much of an industry gatekeeper he’s become recently, I suggest going over there pronto.
Most recently, Carson helped bring one unknown writer, Tyler Marceca (THE DISCIPLE PROGRAM) into rooms with Hollywood producers through his weekly script reviews. Crazy, right? Read about this screenwriter fairytale here: http://www.writersstore.com/industry-insider-screenwriting-contest-with-robert-mark-kamen. With the recent buzz around Tyler and his script, Carson could be the indie writer’s fairy godmother (or godfather?). Who knows what fame could lie ahead for the winner of the Twit-Pitch?
