In addition to writing lots of screenplays, John August also writes a blog that is full of useful information for screenwriters. After experiencing frustration with getting screenplay text to display with proper formatting, he put together something called Scrippets. It’s a plug-in for various blogging systems that lets you wrap a clip from your script with a tag which makes it automatically display it in a format that looks like a screenplay. Pretty cool. To test it out, here’s a clip from THE SPIDER BABIES.

EXT. - ROOF

Johnny and Ethel are getting dressed. They listen to the ruckus from the gang down below.

JOHNNY

Did she already run off another boy?

ETHEL

That would be a new world record.

As she pulls on her t-shirt she looks out at the highway and notices several wrecked cars. Other cars seem to have driven off the road and stopped in fields.

ETHEL (CONT’D)

Baby, look! A car crash.

Johnny stands up and squints into the light.

Tiny Thug

From a shoot I did with Big Ol’ Tire Fire this weekend. Somehow it came out even more weird than we had planned. This is Tiny Thug - a character from the upcoming movie JERRY…! We’re currently shooting it on weekends with the hope of finishing it by March for a special event.

Microcinemafest sex machine screening

MicroCinemaFest screening was last night! Here’s a post-screening pic of co-screenwriter John Oak Dalton and Asphalt Planet supporter Masami Yano. I am still waiting for the offical report but I talked to Shogo today who had talked to Masami who said it went pretty great. I’ll post more when I hear about it.

I really hate it that I missed this one, but my state of poverty is reaching ridiculous levels, but I finally have the details of my relocation worked out and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Shogo is in pre-production on a short which is shooting in Japan at the end of this month. We both would have loved to be there. Thanks to everybody who came to the screening. I hope you had fun!
