5150: THE WORKSHOP
5150 is a private workshop forum on the SeeMaxRun message board. The forum exists to provide screenwriters an area in which they may view and critique each other's scenes, outlines, story maps, loglines, and works in progress in privacy. It is password protected and you must register with the message board to participate and be admitted -- and must have keys to actually see the workshop forums, those will not show to you without keys since those are private forums on the board.
Participants in 5150 agree to the following:
1] You understand 5150 is a private forum and issues and private works discussed and critiqued therein may only be discussed therein and/or among fellow workshop participants and you will not discuss or distribute same outside these hallowed electronic walls or with non-workshop participants outside the 5150 workshop forum.
2] The works posted in 5150 are the private intellectual property of their original posters and any contributions, comments, and/or advice posted in response by you as a participating critiquer within the forum are given freely, no strings attached, and do not in any way shape or form constitute or entitle you to monetary and/or future compensation, benefits, credit or claims on materials posted by participants in 5150 for critique.
3] You understand participation in the 5150 forumis a privelige, not a guarantee or entitlement, and that disruption of the forum and/or malicious or unhelpful critiques are grounds for termination of your participation in the forum and, if you participate in either activity, you will be unceremoniously dumped on your butt outside the forum gates and left to thirst to death in the electronic wilderness, no ifs ands or buts.
4] You understand that, while the 5150 forum is provided by and supported by SeeMaxRun and 440Films, no promises of critique, option, purchase, or promotion of works posted in the 5150 forum have been made to participants by Max Adams, SeeMaxRun, or 440Films, and while forum moderators will attempt to monitor behaviors of paticipants, you participate in workshops at your own risk and the forum owners, moderators and operators cannot be held responsible for or warrantee the actions or behaviors of workshop participants nor do forum owners, moderators or operators claim liability or responsibility for the actions of workshop participants.
5] You promise on a stack of bibles you are not a workshop tourist and you have works in progress you wish to have critiqued and reviewed in workshop, and you agree to post a minimum of one work per month for critique by other workshoppers (a one to twelve page scene or sequence of scenes or a logline/query for review) and to do a minimum of three critiques per month of works posted by other workshop members. And that is the minimu, folks, really, you are expected to do better than just phone it in.
6] You acknowledge anonyminity does not work in workshops and participate under your full legal name. Which you will back up, before admission, with legal documentation like a passport or driver's license or state ID. We do not kid around about that.
Workshoppers must exhibit drive, ability, and talent to be admitted to this workshop. You also must submit pages, on request, in advance of admission.
Sometimes, pages are not strong enough and people get turned down. Look, do not feel bad about that. One turn down does not mean you will never be tough enough to get into the workshop. One turn down just means, today, you are not tough enough to get in. Keep working. Tomorrow is another day.
There are dues. As of this posting [jan 2008] they are $24.95 per month. A three month commitment is required to join. If you do not plan to stick around at least three months, 5150 is not for you. 5150 is not a part time commitment. It is a both barrels commitment.
