People pay me to write scripts (mostly for films, but I’ll do anything really) which I suppose by default makes me a script writer. I hesitate to use the word professional since my attitude towards the whole thing is rather slapdash and I’m not actually very good at it.
In case you’re wondering:
- I don’t read other people’s scripts unless I really, really like them (the people, not the scripts – although being able to make that distinction before reading would be very useful). I’m a script writer, not a script reader – there’s a clue in the title – and my opinion is not to be trusted anyway.
- I can’t get you any writing work because any job I hear of I want for myself. Particularly if there’s money involved.
- I can’t get you any acting work either. As previously mentioned, I’m a writer and therefore have no say in anything except the words on the page and frequently not even then.
- And no, I haven’t got the phone number/email address of your favourite actor. Even if your favourite actor happens to be one of the few I do have contact details for, I’m not going to give it to you because, let’s face it, he/she’s not going to sleep with you anyway.
For anything other than the above reasons, you can email me at phill@phillipbarron.co.uk. If you want to know any serious details about me or my work then check out IMDb (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm1802461/) or my website (www.phillipbarron.co.uk).
Despite my reputation for swearing a lot I’m actually quite polite in real life and would probably be very pleasant to you if we met. Although certain key words do send me into bouts of frenzied violence, for the sake of an adventurous and wildly unpredictable life, I’m not going to list them here.
Reality on this blog has been stretched, altered, bent and completely ignored to make my life funnier, more interesting or just different for the sake of it.
Please don’t take offence.
