Point and Click
- Congratulatoriations to Joe Hitchcock on his recent betrothal. While his digital feature, Down by the Riverside, nears completion, he’s about to dive into an animated short, The North Pole Deception. Joe was kind enough to help us in our final days of BREAK. Go well, Joe.
- Danny Stack at Scriptwriting and Script Reading in the UK kindly introduced me to writer and director Tim Clague’s Scriptwriter’s Life. It’s almost ridiculously simple and self-explanatory… and a challenge I can’t back away from. (Dammit. I thought this writing gig was gonna get easier.)
(Today I learnt that a U.S.P. is a “unique selling point”, as per Mr Clague’s post on pitching yourself and your U.S.P.)
- On a completely un-sceenwriting-related topic, courtesy of the avuncular gentlemen at NZBC, may I recommend Paper, Scissors, Rock, which has some acerbic observations about gang patches and gaming addiction, and David Farrar, whose blog been keeping me informed and enlightened, though I suspect he may be of a navy-blue political persuasion.
- Finally, some homegrown name-dropping: Luke Sharpe’s peeps at BunkerMedia are responsible for the new-look New Zealand Writers Guild website. Go check ‘em out.
This just in: Mr Sharpe is empowering Parnell.

Ahhh - the old USP. Easy to understand, insanely difficult to find what yours is. But you have one all the same.

Yea, I am a unique individual. Just like everyone else.
