Pro Session Telenotes with Tracey Becker FAQ [+]

What's the difference between a Pro Overview and a Pro-Session Telenotes?
A Pro-Overview is a general discussion to be had with the producer of your choice. This session allows you to ask general questions about the industry, or receive a tutorial on the business process practiced in the working industry. A Pro-Session Telenotes allows the specific discussion of a screenplay you are currently working on. Prior to your call, the producer of your choice will read and familiarize themselves with the material, so that they may assist you with its progression based on their industry insight and experience.

Can I ask questions in the Pro Overview?
Of course you can. Pro Sessions is designed to provide you with an arena to discuss the areas you have questions about. In order to utilize your time most efficiently, we suggest that you prepare a list of issues and questions, which will ensure that the topics you are most interested in are covered.

Can I talk about a specific project in the Pro Overview?
No. The Pro Sessions Overview will provide a general foundation of the industry as opposed to specifics about a piece of material. While the Producers may be able to answer some general questions in relation to a specific script, they will not have read the script in question, and therefore will not be able to provide all the insight you are looking for. Therefore, if you are seeking guidance and expertise regarding a specific project, we recommend you elect Pro Sessions Telenotes.

How do I know the producers have read the whole script?
With sixty minutes of phone call to fill, our producers must not only be familiar with the material, but ready to discuss it in detail. Therefore, they will have read and analyzed the screenplay by the time you get on the phone. They spend an extensive amount of time before the conference preparing their notes, eager to provide you with effective thoughts on the development of your material.

Will these producers purchase/produce my screenplay?
No. While a relationship will certainly be created, the goal of this service is to work through a set of notes as if the material was already in development. Going into the call, it's important to remember that you're working at a stage beyond the pitch process - you are working on your screenplay with a producer. This session is not meant to be a pitch session, which would be the first step

Do I get notes on the screenplay?
Yes. The notes you will receive from the Pro Sessions Telenotes phone call will come in the form of a CD, which you will receive approx. 10 days after your call is conducted. Less rigid than our standard written Story Notes, Pro Sessions uses conversational, audio techniques to deliver clear and concise thoughts on material.

Why am I required to sign both a Producer's Release, as well as the ScriptShark release?
Coming in contact with so much material, it's vital for producers to use forms developed by their own legal team to protect themselves when receiving submissions from parties they are not familiar with. In order for ScriptShark to bring this service to you, it's important that our Producers feel secure reading your material and discussing it in detail.
