Step 2: Paste into “To” field of email.
Step 3: Enter your contact information into the email.
Step 4: Click Send.
You are now in the running to win tickets (via random lottery) for the upcoming season of Saturday Night Live.
Last year they were pretty clear that you should send only one email. This year’s info doesn’t mention it. So if you think that spamming them with one million emails will help, then go for it.
But I think it will just piss them off.
Here’s the link (scroll down to the SNL info): http://www.nbc.com/tickets/
Hope to see you there!
Here is last year’s post if you want more detailed info:
Saturday Night Live lets you enter your name in a raffle every August for the upcoming season.
You used to have to send in a postcard (or perhaps several postcards… I never did it because I always imagined someone in their basement writing out thousands of postcards to win tickets.)
Now you just send an email. And they only take one per person.
So you only have this month to send your email in. If you win, thank you in advance for taking me!

Saturday Night Live
To enter the Saturday Night Live ticket lottery for the upcoming 2007-2008 season send an email in the month of August only to snltickets@nbcuni.com. Please include all contact information and do not request a specific date. If you are selected, you will receive two tickets to a random show date and time. You may only send one email per household and all audience members must be at least 16 years of age. Please note that entering the lottery does not guarantee tickets, and you will only be notified in the event that you are chosen.
Stand-by tickets are distributed at 7am on the 49th st. side of 30 Rockefeller Plaza on the mornings of the tapings. You may choose a stand-by ticket for either the 8pm dress rehearsal or the 11:30pm live taping. Aside from minimal, necessary breaks, all stand-by line members must remain in line at all times. Stand-by tickets are limited to one per person and are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. NBC staff reserves the right to revoke or not issue any ticket to anyone in line if proper procedures are not followed. Please arrive no later than 7:15pm for the dress rehearsal or 10:45pm for the live show. A stand-by ticket does not guarantee admission and no one under the age of 16 will be admitted.

No commentsIn my research about film script treatment, I discovered this website.
http://www.bmyers.com/public/807.cfm
It is an Automatic Movie Script Treatment Generator, though I have to say I find it woefully lacking in choices and concepts.
Here’s what I generated.
Comedy: A college student teams up with a hair dresser to start a new life.
As the story unfolds, the college student starts to discover the truth about with a pet pig.
By the finale, they manage to wreck 1 cars, prove their worth and win the respect of their classmates.
Think Dumb & Dumber meets Forest Gump.
Not quite what I was going for. Comedy… yes… well, the generated log line is comical, but I think that movie would suck.
Not sure if Bill Myers, the person who created the generator, did it to mock the narrow vision of what a Hollywood blockbuster contains, or if he really thinks that there are only 50 or so types of “sidekicks”.
Still, it’s kind of fun to use it, so I felt it was post-worthy.
Enjoy!
PS: Nobody steal my idea… I’m really attached to my main character discovering the truth about her pet pig… 
PPS: Just want to add that this site generates more of a log-line than a treatment.

No commentsI got the word about this from Filmmaker’s Alliance (FA)
The bigger your project, the more you have to keep track of and I really like this software because it is SOOOO important to stay organized when you are doing a feature.
Check out http://www.movieset.com/.
Here’s the official description: “MovieSet is a platform and tool kit that integrates with the actual production workflow process in order to enable the creation of authentic real time content. Its ultimate objective is to build core audience over each project’s life cycle from Development through Distribution. Fans can authentically track each film’s progress from green-light through to delivery.”
Great site and the software they have looks really good. I’m about to sign up for it. I’ll let you know how it is! If you have used it, please comment below and describe your experiences.
