MEET DOMINIC MORGAN
I have taken 1000s of meetings over my twenty-year career as a jobbing WGA screenwriter. I’ve won, I’ve lost. I have had near misses and “if only” moments. And like all jobbing writers, I've also had my share of challenging experiences with unscrupulous producers and opportunistic reps.
The truth is, Hollywood and the global film and tv industry are an assault course. I'm going to give you my Playbook to survive and maximise your chances of getting a financial return on all your creative toil. And rest assured, we are going to have an absolute blast while we're doing it.

MEET SARAH ARNOTT - ZERO GRAVITY
I have worked in the film business for over 25 years – in a combination of sales, financing & production companies - and have transitioned recently to lit management at Zero Gravity.
ZG manages talent and produces TV / Features - Emmy winning OZARK (Netflix); THE ACCOUNTANT (Ben Affleck). My focus is to find those writers and directors with the ability to travel outside of their “home” market and simultaneously understand what the market is looking for right now. If a client pitches a logline - I'm already asking who is the audience, the financier, the distributor i.e. what is the path to getting this made.
