In May I hosted a webinar titled "How To Get People To Attend Your Industry Event" where I discussed the idea of scabbing during a writers' strike, how having people striking is shutting down productions, and how to get someone to read your script. This episode addresses questions you asked in our Q&A session that we didn't have time to answer. There's lots of great info here, make sure you watch.Show NotesFree Writing Webinar - https://michaeljamin.com/op/webinar-registration/Michael's Online Screenwriting Course - https://michaeljamin.com/courseFree Screenwriting Lesson - https://michaeljamin.com/freeJoin My Watchlist - https://michaeljamin.com/watchlistAutogenerated TranscriptMichael Jamin:That's how you do it is you really create relationships where people want to help you, but don't send anything unsolicited ever. And I was going to do a post about that as well ever, because you expose people to liability. So this is one of those things where no good deed goes undone. If you send a script out to someone unsolicited like it, it's just going to get that person in trouble. So that's why we won't do it. That's why we won't read unsolicited scripts. You're listening to Screenwriters. Need to Hear This with Michael. Hey everyone, welcome back. It's Michael Jamin. I'm here with Phil Hudson. Hey Phil.Phil Hudson:Hey, every, everybodyMichael Jamin:What up? He says, what up. Keeps it low key. So we are doing another Q and a episode. So every month Phil and I host a live webinar where we talk, we pick a topic, we dive into it real deep. The last one, this one is from May. The one we did in May had a bunch of questions and if anybody wants to go get that one, they're all the webinars. By the way, Phil, you know this, but I'm telling everyone who's listening, they're all free. They're all free. If you 10 live and we give you stuff like free stuff, download stuff that you can get if you 10 live and if you miss it, you can get a free replay 24 for 24 hours. But then if you miss that and you want to buy it, you can buy it for a slow low price on my website, michaeljamin.com. And this website, this sorry webinar was called How to Get People to Attend Your Industry Event Or Watch Your Stuff, right? Because everyone wants to entice industry types. So we give a whole hour long talk on that. And then we got a lot of Q and as, a lot of questions. And so here are the ones that I wasn't able to answer and for your enjoyment and listening pleasure. Alright, Phil, hit me.Phil Hudson:So for formatting, again, I've kind of grouped them into topics. So we'll go topic by topic. And again, if your question was asked and you don't get an answer, we probably already answered that. Yeah, there are a couple questions at times that we re-answer or readdress because everyone asked that question and people don't seem to get the answer when you tell them because you say it all the time. So yeah, that's okay. That being said, a couple things about the rider strike, just because it's topical right now, MB Stevens, w g a strike question. If the assistant loves our work and recommends it to an executive who wants to sign us, do we sign or wait until the strike is over?Michael Jamin:Oh, no one's going to, one's going to sign with you now. I really don't think anyone's going to sign. So you can sign, if they decide to sign you, you can go ahead and sign, but they're not going to solicit work for you right now.Phil Hudson:Oh, you think you're referring to agents and managers? And this question is about studio executives.Michael Jamin:Oh, studio.Phil Hudson:No. Yeah, they're saying if recommends you to an executive, so the answer is no. Right? Because that would be considered scabbing and the WGA has documentation about that. There's a whole site about it. You could go look up. But anyway, from an agent manager question, I think that's a good question. Lots of people have.Michael Jamin:Yeah, sorry, I was mis misinformed. Yeah, no, if it's a studio, you can't solicit a
