Great video, thanks! I so feel that any one of my 3 books could be made into a film. But what’s between me and the successes you’ve had is in fact me. I have to believe in my stories enough to get them out there.
You guys are so dang AWESOME! I'm serving as editor for my daughter-in-law's memoir about being a big TV and film star in Tokyo, and I just sent her this fun how-to. I could build a deck around your antics. . .
You two are so funny! Thank you for the insight🙌🏽. Quick question, I have always pictured a book I read when I was younger as a film/series however, i'm not the author and i'm not yet in the world of writing screenplays. I was wondering how I could go about approaching the author, is this even possible? Thank you
Hey you guys 'The Black Lobster' here. I love you guys. I'm finally making a come back and I feel good just seeing you too again. You're be hearing from me soon, I hope.
So funny you emailed this to me. Just yesterday I downloaded how to write a treatment. I don't think I can do a script, too much going on. But if I did it, what would I do next? Thanks!
How do I e-mail or send the 'deck' of my idea for a show to a Producer if it's an actual PHYSICAL copy of a book? So I have to create a SECOND book, after the FIRST? The 2nd one would be the 'deck'? Am I following this CORRECTLY? Because you NEVER mentioned whether or not the 'deck' must be an ACTUAL-PHYSICAL copy that I must mail in to a Producer, or writer's of a show.
I’m still in my writing process but I want it turned into a tv series and I really want to have casting rights and writing rights and some directorial rights is that reasonable
@@samswayzie just like how you would self-publish a book--you would have to find the producer, director, writer, etc etc and put the project together. You would not do it with a studio.
Unfortunately, I have no intention to expand my written work to the Hollywood scene, because I would not like the spotlight. There is also the issue of any director willing to cut corners or completely change details in order to make the series or film marketable. I most certainly would not tolerate the holier-than-thou self-righteousness coming from Hollywood stars who live in big mansions and think they are better than everyone. A hundred years after my death? Maybe. But in this life, I would rather not see my work on the big screen.
Hello my name is Serena Dunham I’d like for you 2 to be my mentor for my journey here I don’t really know people who wants to be in the same field like that and I will just throw myself out there and shoot my shot because me staying quiet is not helping at all lol but if your willing to help me out it will be much appreciated I’ll pay and fly out if I have to !

Thank you
It is! You'd option the book and then take it to producers/directors/writers.
Arielle and David, thank you so much for this! I learned a ton here. Also, I love you guys!
Thank you, Ellen!
Hey you guys 'The Black Lobster' here. I love you guys. I'm finally making a come back and I feel good just seeing you too again. You're be hearing from me soon, I hope.
That's so great, Jerry!
Fantastic! Did I hear you right? You revived a 2008 book/story and dove in to...Hollywood? That is top-shelf. How inspiring! :)
Yes! Thank you!
Question? What format do you recommend the deck be in (Power point, PDF, etc.). Thanks, your not only informative but, entertaining as well.
We create ours as a PDF.
Great info
Thanks for watching!
Wow
So funny you emailed this to me. Just yesterday I downloaded how to write a treatment. I don't think I can do a script, too much going on. But if I did it, what would I do next? Thanks!
Outline the story, Amy!
Thanks!
I have been making a book series called "Crónicas of the Werewolves" and my dream is for it to be published and become a movie.
We are wishing you good luck!

Decks are just PDFs. You don't need a physical copy.
Gotcha. Much appreciated.
👍👍👍👍
I’m still in my writing process but I want it turned into a tv series and I really want to have casting rights and writing rights and some directorial rights is that reasonable
Very, very unlikely unless you do it all independently.
@@TheBookDoctors but is casting rights reasonable
@@samswayzie No. I've never heard of a writer getting casting rights.
@@TheBookDoctors but how would I do it independently how does that even work
@@samswayzie just like how you would self-publish a book--you would have to find the producer, director, writer, etc etc and put the project together. You would not do it with a studio.
