The Beat
Feb 8, 2010

Hey Frenzy folks!

Do you love organization, encouragement, and scriptwriting? Well, we all love scriptwriting... but if you're also a goal-setting go-getter with a knack for coordinating events, you'd probably make a great Municipal Liaison (ML)!

You can learn more about the post and see which regions are already covered on the Municipal Liaison page.

Don't see your region listed? Check out the full list of Script Frenzy regions here.

Still interested?

Magnificent!

Fill out the New ML form and I'll be in touch with you soon after. (If you get a validation error, that usually means that tons of other folks had the same idea as you and are trying to submit the form. Give it a minute, or a few, and then try again!)

If you were a Municipal Liaison in 2009 and accidentally missed the deadline for re-upping, be sure to let Lindsey, the Community Liaison, know ASAP: lindsey[underscore]grant[at]scriptfrenzy[dot]org

Hooray for volunteers! And hooray for you!

Lindsey
Community Liaison

ADVICE FOR YOUR ADVENTURE

Intro to Screenwriting

So, you're going to write a screenplay. This is awesome. And if you're a little nervous about it, that's awesome too, because it means you're not alone. After all, screenwriting isn't something that we learn in grammar school or do at dinner parties. It feels more like a mysterious dark art practiced by reclusive alchemists who only emerge from their caves for all-too-brief Academy Awards appearances.

But the truth is that screenwriting is within the grasp of mere mortals. Formatting a screenplay, which you can learn from our magical formatting document, is easier than assembling an IKEA bookshelf, and 100 pages doesn't remotely require you to quit your day job (although it never hurts to dream). Indeed, if you've ever told a story in your life, you already have the basic knowledge needed to write a movie.
