Hollywood pipeline

hollynorth.org

This one's for all the local creative folks in Vancouver, aka Hollywood North.  I've always been proud of working in a market that while small, punches ways above it's weight class globally within the advertising industry.  And I'm speaking about more than just my first.  And when you throw in digital heavy weights like EA, a global visual effects hub and one of the leading film, television and commercial production locations in the world, you end up with a seriously large creative class.

Though, while everyone is doing what they are doing the idea of cracking the big screenplay has crossed most minds but the love of fresh air, mountains and ocean keeps most from moving to L.A. to pitch their ideas. 

Well, some local heavyweights have started a website  which will grant access to the few and powerful in Hollywood who review screen plays.  Interestingly, this apparently more has to do with Hollywood's desperate need for fresh, distinct commercial material  rather than simply another great application of the web.   Though undoubtedly they are interconnected, but we needn't go there as to why.  You get it.

Anyways, go to hollynorth.org and make yourself famous/rich.

I am having trouble with th website hollynorth.org. My Safari will not let me into the site. It quits unexpectedly. Also, hitting the link on your page came up with "page not found" What is going on with hollynorth? Are they for real? Do you know who is running it? This info is meant to be on the site, which I cannot enter.
Thanks

Hey Carol. I updated the link, I made an error on the code as it's a .org address. So the links work now.

As for the Safari issue, I'm using Firefox and have not found any issues.

One of the founders of titledoctores.com, a L.A. based film branding firm apparently are behind the site. But that's the extent of what I know. I'm no screenplay expert but protect yourself by registering your work with either writers guild in US or Canada, or better yet, both.
