If you have trouble reading this email, go to the online version 11/04/13   The Write Stuff How to Finish That Oscar-Worthy Script Today: everything you need to write/finish a screenplay that’s capable of winning an Academy Award. Except, you know, a producer, a director and an attached Day-Lewis.     TRAINING DAY Meet Your Screenwriting Coach   You Require: A little help fine-tuning that third act. Also, some assistance with the second and first. You’ll Receive: A weekly Skype session with a USC-bred screenwriting coach. Ask him about character development. And dialogue. Or just how much it would take for him to finish the last 15 pages.   411: Screenwriting Ninja, phone a “friend” here     IN POD WE TRUST It’s Not an Isolated Log Cabin, But...   You Require: A secluded work environment, free from distractions. You’ll Receive: A fully customizable, goes-anywhere office built out of a modular fiberglass structure. It comes with a desk, some carpet and windows. Sadly, no secretary, though...   411: OfficePod, get in the zone here     SOUND TRACK Just the Right Amount of Noise   You Require: An ambient soundtrack to help you concentrate on killing off your protagonist. Sorry, spoiler. You’ll Receive: This website, which plays loops of productivity-inducing sounds. Like crashing waves. Or a crackling fire. Or the low din of a coffee shop. Nothing like a good low din.   411: Soundrown, listen closely here     NOW BOARDING For the Pitch Meeting   You Require: Some storyboards. Trust us, Harvey likes pictures. You’ll Receive: The aid of a former Marvel artist who’s more than capable of turning your written masterpiece into a visual stunner. Also, he draws a mean Spider-Man.   411: Screenplay Storyboard Artists, see the big picture here     T.HANKS FOR SHARING Tom Hanks’s Typewriter Guys   You Require: A sturdy old typewriter from which to glean some old-school inspiration. You’ll Receive: The services of Tom Hanks’s preferred typewriter guys. They’ve been in the game since 1932. And if it’s good enough for the guy from The ’Burbs...   411: Gramercy Office Equipment Co., go full analog here Sonos. You know them. They make the best wireless speakers known to man. Case in point: the PLAY:1, an easy-to-use sonic wi-fi powerhouse that’ll deliver every piece of music ever made through a single app you’ll control from any device you own. So... that takes care of sound.   UrbanDaddy is pure editorial. You can't buy love from the Daddy.
