"Run Cholo Run" is an award winning short film with over 2 million views, and 6000+ followers on Facebook.
Run Cholo Run is a completed feature screenplay. Korstiaan ‘Kors’ Vandiver wrote the first draft from his treatment. Ian Max Eyre wrote the second draft, and we polished it until it was good. Then Tanya “Cha Cha” Sandoval-McMahon wrote the final draft and brings the voice, heart and perspective of a born-and-raised in Los Angeles, Mexican-American Latina to the story. The screenplay is getting great.
The experiment is to offer fans insight into the process of developing a movie, starting with the screenplay. We are going to upload a few pages each week (pages 1-6 here) and see if there are any superfans interested in critiquing the story, from structure to character to authenticity, etc. And also collect anecdotes from the fans.
The movie The Martian was made this way, in the sense that the novel writer posted pages online and grew a fanbase which helped get his book turned into a movie with Matt Damon.
Having been rebuffed by literary agents when trying to get prior books published, Weir decided to put the book online in serial format one chapter at a time for free at his website. At the request of fans, he made an Amazon Kindle version available...
Let's see what happens,
Ian
