from The No Film School Podcast · host No Film School
Get ready for a deep dive into script coverage, whether or not you should pay for it, and which platforms are best for it. In this episode, we talk about... What script coverage is and why a writer might want to hire a coverage service. Price points for different script coverage services and what those prices might include. What script coverage can lead to (there are success stories) versus what your odds of success from the services are. A script coverage experiment trying three different services - linked below. How subjective Hollywood is and why you need to learn which notes to take and which to ignore. How Canon, surprisingly, just dropped a brand-new, dual fish-eye VR lens. How the new James Bond movie, No Time to Die, is out now and is proving to have a lot of filmmaking lessons for us all. The interesting push and pull between making a James Bond movie stay true to the originals and still be appropriate for today’s modern world. Amazon’s new involvement in the James Bond franchise. Whether or not we’ll ever see a female or BIPOC Bond.
