Movie Notes
Eighty percent of movies are made from books, contact a publisher to get their pre-release catalogue and get in there first-hand.
Note, big studio's have deals with the bigger publishers so they may usually have the latest stories before it hits the book-sellers. However there's always a chance they overlook the best ideas.
Also try to contact agents in the media, they may have a film or short work they need produced; offer to do it as a favour.
One of the main faults in shooting a short-film is finding the best location for recording sound, so many good ideas have been ruined by overlooking this fundamental element.
Script Writing
Write spec scripts, find literary agents, contact the Film Council.
A good short-film script has a good one-page synopsis and averages 90-100 pages. Has a good layout, structure. It's quick, fast and doesn't have many long complicated scene set-ups.

Well Michelle just showed me something E4 are doing and either someone's pooling off my brain or I really have premonition ;-)
Last year I thought up a great story about a couple who have this place out in the woods, they soon get set upon by a group of psychologically un-hinged teenager's. They eventually hold up in the bedroom while the attackers run amock thru the bungalow trying to lure them out into harms way. The husband takes a look outside the window and notices one of them just standing there looking back at them lifelessly, next moment they're gone. A couple of months later I see a film called The Strangers, good movie, just a little uncanny.
Round two, I have an idea about a family getting ready for the morning run. They're in their flat rushing around to take the kids to school, the wife is in the bathroom fussing with makeup, the husband is in the kitchen half watching tv (that weirdly is only showing the test signal) while eating breakfast. They get out to the car, drive thru town and start to wonder where everyone else has gone, the place is deserted. Then out of the corner of their eye they spot a dark figure just standing there in the middle of the road not moving zombie-like. Really spooky, right?, well apparently Channel 4 are doing something around those lines with a programme called Dead Set.
Well trust me the latest idea I have for a good book I'm keeping to myself, Michelle agree's with me, it's a little on the scary side.
Take care thru Halloween and remember,

On a non-server note, Michelle has finished her drawing of Patrick Dempsey (star of Greys Anatomy and a heart-throb of her's); boy she's getting good at this!
Original is online at my flickr account, well done honey!
She want's to re-do the Joker though, she can make him so much more scarier ;-)
