Introduce Yourself : Intro by Arthur Tiersky

Arthur Tiersky

Intro

Hi folks - I'm a WGA member and feature writer, mostly of comedies and historical pieces. I've had shorts made and done rewrite work, and won or placed in dozens of contests, but this year, I'm really focused on getting a feature made, particularly my very low budget bedroom farce "The Second Best Man". Any and all interest and advice along this front is welcome! Glad to meetcha all...

Hi Arthur-im non WGA but have sold things and have made four feature films on my own utilizing all Ive learned from being an AD and PA.I guess I would say my best experiential advice is to know how you want to make this movie and what the end game is.I've made four movies straight from my gut but learned some could've been simpler or been a pilot for TV show.As I prep my next film, a short, I'm having collaborators of over 20 years and new collaborators sit down and share what they honestly want this project to do for them, their voices, talents and careers.And finally I think making a movie your way on your terms with people who understand you is better than getting money from someone with no vision who just wants foreign market residulas.

Great to meet Arthur Tiersky! I am currently working on a short film as well as an independent film festival and would love watch your short! Do you have a trailer to share with Stage 32 members?
