Guest Column: If Writers Lose the Standoff With Studios, It Hurts All Filmmakers

It has been over a year now that I’ve been submitting to various grants in hopes of securing funding for my multiple projects.

While this process is not a simple or easy one (is anything truly free?) I do feel fortunate that while I haven’t garnered any funding yet, I have used the various opportunities to further develop and fine tune my projects.

Fingers crossed on this one!! I’m really, REALLY itching to get to creating again!
