Member Guidelines
Expectations of Members
|
Members are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner when communicating with agents, producers, executives, directors and others in the film industry. It should be remembered that the behaviour of each individual reflects upon us all. Members are expected to promote at least one new screenplay per year. Members are expected to contribute to the group in one or more of the following ways: 1) Web page design and/or graphic design
2) Promotion
3) Providing contacts and connections
4) Reviewing the scripts of other members
|
Requirements for Screenplays
| Script Length (feature screenplay): Preferably 90 - 130 pages. Unusually long or short screenplays may be promoted if the group votes to make an exception. Members are welcome to promote MOW's, TV series scripts, stage & radio plays, novels, novellas, and short stories. Formatting: Promoted scripts should follow generally accepted formatting standards and should be proofread for typos and spelling errors. Reviews: Prior to being promoted, each screenplay must receive feedback through a review process (eg: like the one offered by American Zoetrope).
|
Promotional Web Pages
| Individual promotional web pages must have a professional appearance. They must load reasonably quickly and should not require special plug-ins or the very latest browsers in order for visitors to view them. The use of animated gifs is strongly discouraged. Visitors must not be subjected to pop-up windows or large or prominent advertising banners.
|
New Members Selection Process
| Nominations for new members will not be taken
before 06/05. A clear majority "yes" vote is required before a nominee
is invited to join the group. |
