About No Meaner Place

Print
PDF

No Meaner Place will highlight writers and writing that for one reason or another have been pushed aside, shoved to the curb, and abandoned; wonderful scripts that have never made it to the big screen or to the small screen in series form.  Some of them were produced to pilot, poorly, some were entirely ignored, some were too original, some were, well who knows what they were…but all of them deserved better fates.  During my many years reading and recommending scripts, projects and writers to David Kelley, I read thousands of script submissions, books, short stories and plays, and among them were some truly terrific potential projects.  It is my intention to be entirely positive and only write about scripts that transported me, in one way or another; I will not write about bad or mediocre scripts.

My source for writer credits, for the most part, will come from the Baseline Studio System program and internet database available by subscription.

It is my hope to bring fresh attention to projects that have been shoved aside by the networks or studios that originally approved the projects. I want to try to bring attention back to the excellent writers and writing that is already out there –  recreate a buzz and a reminder of what still could be.

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!
Harrison

After spending the past 4 hours on this site, I could not agree more with the first comment posted here by Hull. I am not an industry native nor is Hollywood a career destiny of mine. But I think I just spent the best 4 hours of my life on this site since embarking into the industry.

Neely Recommends

During one glorious moment in cinema, Luis Buñuel made movies, grand, messy, symbolic, intense movies. Tristana, produced in 1970 and based on a novel by Benito Perez Galdos, represented Buñuel’s return to Spain after an exile of many years. A European co-production, it starred Franco Nero (the Italian “it” boy of the moment), Catherine Deneuve (already an international superstar who had most recently brilliantly acquitted herself in Buñuel’s Belle de Jour) and the incomparable Fernando Rey who for a short time in the 1970s played characters who were the personification of sophisticated evil from The French Connection to Buñuel’s films The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie and That Obscure Object of Desire.
