A screenplay in under two weeks! A complete(ish) first draft of ‘Return to Earth’ (working title) is sitting there glowing at me lovingly from my screen. It needs much work, and some of the scenes have characters spouting gibberish until I do a bit more research and fine tune the detail, but the story is there. It’s only [...]

Hello. My name is Andy Coughlan and I’m a Twitterholic. There, that feels good.

Having had Scribomatic running for some time now, it’s clear to me that Screenwriters like to blog - [...]

We're a modest bunch here at onsuper8.org but for once we think a little bit of tub thumping might just be in order - if only to prove we actually do make films! The Ferryman, a seven minute Super 8mm short documentary that we completed late last year is doing quite well on the short film circuit. After an Honorable Mention at the 2008 USA Super 8mm and Digital Video Festival back in February it's...

Image via Wikipedia Looks like I’m through to the quarter finals of the BlueCat screenwriting competition, with my slightly (well, very) dodgy first draft of The Trimes. Not sure how it’ll fare against the remaining 536, but it’s good to have got this far. On another note, in an astounding display of procrastination, I’ve been working on [...]
