Once met a guy in Vegas who - when he found out my friend and I worked in the entertainment industry - pitched us his movie idea for 45 minutes. I wanted to kill my friend, who kept egging him on. However, we joke about it to this day, so maybe it was worth it? So true.

So why would I write someone else’s great idea? You are absolutely right. Besides everybody´s got great ideas. But a great idea doesn´t write a screenplay and doesn´t sell. By writing the story you give it a heart and life and you´ll make it´s heart pumping more and more, because you are driven to make it better and better never giving it up. And this emotional high you can only get if you´ve got a real motivation to tell a story from your heart. And you don´t have to search at craig´s list for your pumping heart :-) QUOTE:
