I use Celtx screenwriting/production software (free!) to write my corporate video scripts, but I love ‘em to death for their willingness to give back to the filmmaking community through their Celtx Seeds program:
Funding Independant Filmmakers
From September 21st to November 23rd, we’ll select one filmmaker each week to receive a $1,000 grant, plus Celtx promotion. It could be you.
Submit your VideoWe want to see your single best storytelling video. Share it through your Celtx account with seeds@celtx.com. If you don’t have a Celtx account, signing up is free and easy.
$1,000 probably won’t take you all the way to the Academy Awards, but it might just jump-start a screenwriting or movie-making career, which isn’t a bad thing.
Celtx is giving $10,000 to independent filmmakers…
Keep writing (scripts, if that’s what turns you on), Tom Chandler.
Sweet! Thanks to your articles, I downloaded Celtx but haven’t tried to score any video work; when are you going to publish the “How To” video script article you mentioned?

Soon. I’m keeping my head above water on the family and work fronts, but only just barely.
And while I’ve been living on a reduced work schedule the last couple months, I’ve got a couple clients pestering me for projects and I can’t really put them off any longer.
So I better do it soon, or I won’t be able to do it at all.
