I was wondering if you could forward on the following blurb to your graduate and undergraduate writing students? Thank you so much for your help! <BR> <BR> Cheers,<BR> Lindsey<BR> <BR> I am a graduate producing student at USC and seeing as this is the final year of the program, it is time to begin my thesis project. Our thesis is a chance for us to option a script and work through all the stages of developing that project and preparing it to be taken to the marketplace upon our graduation. This would be an opportunity for us both to gain collaborative experience and build our knowledge of the process to prepare us for our future projects. <BR> <BR> Here's the basic idea of what I am looking for. A script that is of "indie" level such that it will be a stepping stone for us into the industry. My sensibilities lean towards the genres of family films and romantic comedies; however, I am not one to shy away from any story whether light in tone or from darkest depths of your mind. While this outlines the type of script I am looking for, I really want this to be as valuable an experience for both of us as possible. This should extend to experience with contracts, notes, and general creative meetings. We will be in the trenches together preparing ourselves to head into the real world and hopefully this project can be used for that transition. After all, we are just beginning our journeys into this industry and this is a time for us to truly learn what we got ourselves into. <BR> <BR> If you are interested in meeting to chat or want to discuss your possible ideas please feel free to call or email me. Or if you have a completed project send it my way and I will get back to you after I read it. <BR> <BR> Thanks for your time and maybe soon we will spend more of it together. <BR clear="all"> <BR> Lindsey Rostal<BR> <BR> USC Peter Stark Producing Program, Class of 2008<BR> 503.720.7851<BR> <A href="mailto:lindsey.rostal@gmail.com">lindsey.rostal@gmail.com</A> </SPAN></FONT></P> </DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Screenwriting-l mailing list</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="mailto:Screenwriting-l@lists.ucla.edu">Screenwriting-l@lists.ucla.edu</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/screenwriting-l">http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/screenwriting-l</A></DIV> </DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV style="">Robin Russin</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Assistant Professor</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Department of Theatre</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">University of California, Riverside</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Riverside, CA 92521</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">(951) 827-2707</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">(213) 949-1061 cel</DIV><DIV style=""><A href="mailto:robin.russin@ucr.edu">robin.russin@ucr.edu</A></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
