So great to see what inspired such a useful tool in my screenwriting journey. I too have learned so much from learning from my peers, as well as teaching to young writers. The reflection process in all roles of the education process is amazingly beneficial.
Thanks for the insight!

I hope you’re having a great week! My name is Harrison and I work with SnagFilms.com. We are an online library of over 2100 films, free for audiences to stream. I just wanted to let you know that a film that you may be very interested in, “Dreams On Spec”, is now available for free streaming via this link: http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/dreams_on_spec/
Please consider spreading the word about this film either on or through your website. There is an embeddable link on the linked page I’ve provided. Feel free to also email me back with any questions, and if you decide to use it so we can send it out through our network for cross promotion! Given the timely release of the film, this would be a tremendous opportunity for both of us!
Looking forward to working with you!

I attended a screenwriter’s summit with him and found him to be fascinating. He showed clips of Crimson Tide and dissected it. I wasn’t expecting that!
I’ve started using his ipad app to help me go from story idea to full on outline. It’s helped me. I reviewed it here:
