I’m soon about to sign my first contract.
I’ve got my payment, written my first assignment and now sign the contract and then e-mail the file with my work along with a synopsis of my short script of my own also about to be produced in this project.
I’m thrilled. This is so exciting.
It’s not the feature movie with the unlimited budget and famous stars that will give me an Oscar, but you know what? I don’t care. That is not important.
Once it was, but no longer.
Once upon a time I didn’t see the use of writing short scripts. They would not bring me fortune and glory.
But for a reason I don’t really remember now, I wrote one, one day. And then another one and another one.
And my short scripts have gained far more attention than my feature scripts ever got so far.
A short script might be springboard to fortune and glory, but most of all it is joy. Pure joy.
Just the simple fact that I can write from start to end within hours and have a first draft does well for the spirit.
And then to get a story through with almost every possible limitation is an art form in itself.
I'm no master of this art form, but I intend to try becoming one.

Awesome... just awesome!
Thank you. You have a great blog entry about short script yourself.
Hi
I am an Israeli scriptwriter and have 27 short ones and 5 full length ones.
Was very impressed by your blog and wantred you to know.
Thank you very much, Yair. It is nice to hear and warms my heart.
Do you also find that prodicers request to read your scripts and then completely ignore you ? No feedback and no comment.
It happenes, but mostly I've received feedback when I contact them.
Sometimes it does happen and I can not stand people who ask for scripts and then ignore me, Never the less 15 short scripts were shot todate. One of them three times becasue I do not sell the scripts justg give the right to shoot.
You see different approaches from three different directors and it is very stimulating
