Tweet Tweet Tweetily Deet

When I became a finalist in the Oaxaca Film Fest , I needed someplace to smug brag.

So I got a Twitter account.

But before I did that, I read up and watched videos about Twitter.

You know the expression, "So much has been written about everything, it's hard to find anything out about it"? Well, that applies.

So finally I just signed up, created some tweets on my projects, hashtagged #animation #cartoons and so on.

I also was told to follow people...so I followed BoJack Horseman (the look and hopelessly sarcastic tone I like for one of my projects), the creator of BoJack (sep account), and some other Hwood spots.

Zap--all their tweets went on my account...chaos. So I muted them. So now I have no idea who sees what.

I have decided it takes time for your excellence to be recognized. Ahem.

Can anyone give me tips? My account also split in two..no idea why.

This is The Blue Bird of Happiness?

My handle is @TheStarLawrence, if you are interested.

Oh--and I didn't win. But it was fun to think about and chat with some tweeters who did win.

Hey--Someone in Mexico likes my script

As a screenwriter, you can pretty much wipe out all your bank accounts entering contests, but I learned of a free script contest at the Oaxaca FilmFest9--coming up in October.

For fun, I sent in my feature-length animated script PAW & ORDER.

Today I was informed that 5% of the thousands of scripts sent were officially selected to be involved
--and PAW was one.

The pitch:

It's New York, the future, animals are educated, have good jobs and are on equal footing with humans. In this comedic takeoff on the famous show,  Det Lupine (a wolf) and Sgt Buzzy (a honeybee) partner up to track down the killjoy who stole two human kids' TV satellite dish. They wisecrack with each other, grill suspects, and finally turn over the thief for a riotous trial. Full of puns, crazy jokes, and more fun than the law allows.

I probably cannot journey to Mexico with my stupid knees and ailments, but I am happy anyway...

You have to take the good with the bad, I always say.

Ole!
