Wait till you find out the absolutely absurd requirements to even get into WGA just to be allowed to TRY for a job, which unsurprisingly you can skip entirely if a WGA memeber "Mentors" you.
The reason all these writers are bad at writing and also full of themselves is how hard they got fricked for a freebie in the door.
You have to get a job in order to qualify for the WGA, not the other way around you regard
Look at this moron so moronic he can't even spell it.

Slide down to "Writer owned company" and get your mind blown harder than the "Writers" who were allowed to work within "Guild jurisdiction".
Yes, you read that right, you have to specifically publish works within the union jurisdiction which isn't open to non-members in order to become a member, gee I wonder how they manage that one?
I'm all for unions but the American entertainment industry has taken the concept to such dystopian lengths.
>this isn't true at all, but i'm mad about it
fascinating
You just have to get a relevant production company to buy your work. It's obviously difficult because it's a small job market, but being a member is not a prerequisite to either script selling or being hired to write, because that's covered by the company.
I didn't imply I'm mad, and my statement stands regardless if that specific frickery is true.
>You just have to get a relevant production company to buy your work
Yeah that doesn't sound nepotistic at all, I'm sure it's very impartial what company is considered "relevant".
What? That section is about how writers can't make their own front company to say they have a bunch of writing credits. It's common sense.
>you regard
tmdwu yessssssssssssss
>Mike McMahan
Who?
An excellent question.
Dude who created Solar Opposites with Justin Roiland and worked on Rick and Morty and Star Trek Lower Decks. But let's be honest; Twitter threads don't care about what they've done and more on what they tweet.
You're telling me that this homie creates and writes literal garbage and has the gall to shit on the writing of others?
Industryanon claims otherwise, but he refused to elaborate.
>The guy who created solar opposites
literally who cares then lmao, that show's writing is some of the most schlock community trash I've ever had the misfortune of reading. I was impressed it even passed the pilot.
Not sure who these josh and sydney are but they sound based. So sick of hearing about muh istophobia, le meanie words won't kill you buddy
>imagine defending rich buttholes
Imagine getting upset because of words lol
You mean like you did?
Stop projecting moron
imagine outing yourself as that dumb b***h who steals shit from art supply stores.
Wait I thought you typed hated Hollywood? Or is anyone who’s a piece of shit automatically kinobased irregardless of anything else?
Why do you think that anon hates Hollywood? He didn’t say anything about Hollywood, and he isn’t using a name or trip, he could be anyone
literally who.
>he made a homophobic comment!
Get roasted, gayaloon.
>Great room! Mike rules.
Mind passing on a message?
Hey industry anon, don't go. I was just bluffing. I don't know who you are.
>deleted
lmao instaregret industryposters are the best.
It'll be in the archives anyway.
Come back, industryanon.
I think they do it to make themselves more elusive and mysterious.
>industrykeked deletes messages instantly to try and hide his tracks
>he doesn't know
It's my fault, I scared them away.
Can you at least pass on my message?
Why do they leave so fast?
You scared him.
What the frick is any of this moronic thread talking about?
Why do industrygays love Cinemaphile so much?
Cinemaphile is easy to manipulate.
Cinemaphile doesn't move as fast as Cinemaphile.
So they crave attention?
You can also tell Cinemaphile is a few years younger than Cinemaphile, has an exponentially higher number of female anons, and is way less jaded about the industry and about life. It's way less intimidating to gauge interest on here.
Many of them are probably frustrated about one thing or another and can only express it here
of course its another white woman complaining about something.
When will people learn to not hire the specific type of white woman that does this.
We all know what they look like. We all have seen them wreck everything, why do we put up with their childish moronation?
As a writer I can 100% say if your hopes for exposure to the right people are resting on a fricking Twitter tag, you've already lost the battle.
A lot of my friends still beg for work on twitter and refuse to leave the site. They never get work. No one I know gets work from twitter or any social media. It’s all connections and having good samples.
Could you please elaborate on the good samples part?
Keep writing and don’t stop. You never know what they’ll be looking for.
Have good examples of writing to show that you actually know how a script is formatted and written. Have examples that show that you're aware of the subtleties and nuances between writing a TV episode script, a feature film script, a comic script, and a pitch deck presentation. The reason wannabe writers always fail is because they don't properly understand the border between vague "idea guy" (everyone is a vague idea guy) and an actual writer.
There's probably a little more of a market for artists and storyboard artists just because the immediate visual element of it. But for writers the only audience is either other writers or producers, and they aren't looking for something as vague and intangible as writing from social media randos.
Literally every “portfolio” I see on twitter looks exactly the same
Why do people buy into that meta so much? Didn't it happen to like one person 5 years ago or something so now everyone thinks that site is a Job board for fricking morons lel
i don't get it
Wtf is PreWGA
