Hi Guys
My name's Tony. I'm a multi-discipline artist-writer based in Bath (the 'shower' in the Bath). Have been working in the arts for more years than I care to remember. Various skills - actor, fringe director, performance artist, painter, potter, sculptor, illustrator, novelist playwright poet script writer and musician. NOT well known possibly due to the diversity of interests and a very short contacts list (1 person!). Anyway, am currently polishing (with translucent boot polish) a film script titled TIME'S WHIRPOOL which is an adaptation of a novel I wrote in 2015 titled TIME VORTEX. The reason I joined this site. Hope to put a pitch up. Given the difficulties of selling new scripts. Would enjoy the feedback, if any, you guys can give. It is a sci-fi-historical work. In fact, my first in the mixed genres. I did write a sci-fi-fantasy a few years back titled GIORGIO and the DRAGON ERMENTRUDE (comedy take on the legend). Didn't get it into production. But, back then was very unfocused on selling. Could have been the main reason. Just didn't put myself into the selling game. 'Must try harder'. One contribution I would like to make to the discussion forum I'll add later. I've been conducting a campaign aimed, would you believe, at DOUBLING film script production globally by 2020! If I get around to putting that on the discussion forum I would be interested in any response readers might give. I've been sending out an analytical paper on the subject to film festivals in Europe, The U.K. and US. It seems possible to me, whether it is to the film establishment is another matter. I 'think outside the box' a lot, the concept originates, I think, with that ability. I've also done it with painting, sculpture, pottery, play script production. One example - Paintings as numerically vast art collections, instead of single image works. Response? Usually negative. breaking with established cultural practices, unless one is well connected, usually fall flat. As I said, I have a contacts list of ONE (and he died recently). I'm not a 'people person'. Archetypal loner I suppose, and in the contacts/connections/networking sectors of the arts, that is counterproductive. Doesn't matter much, of course, I'm not on the 'money and possessions' bandwagon. It is pretty easy to live well in this society on a low income. I don't encourage it. It has its drawbacks. Nuff said.

Are you SURE you are not a 'people person.' You write with such vim, just as if speaking.
