Can you give me a job?
I am very sorry that I am not in a position to employ anyone or find people
work in the film industry. I am not a production company, agent or diary
service and am not in a position to influence employment as I am
freelance myself, looking for work just like you. Employment opportunities
in the film industry are notoriously difficult to find and the competition is
fierce. This is how it is, so don’t complain, be resourceful.
I offer advice on my employment page
where I share how I look for work and other information and advice.
No, really - I'm really good and I'm desparate to work in film!
It's good that you're enthusiastic, but you are writing to the WRONG
PERSON! I offer some advice on my
employment page and that's all I am able to offer at this current time.
If my situation changes, you will read it here.
Can I send you my screenplay?
No, not at this time as I am very busy developing my own work . I get a
great many requests and hope that in the future when I get my career on
track and set up my own film production company, I will then be able to
take on screenplay submissions. I understand the difficulty of getting
strated in this industry and list some useful information and contacts on
my WRITERS pages. You may be able to
send me a one-page synopsis via e-mail, but NOT as an attachment.
Remember to copyright all ideas before you send them to
anyone. Again, there are more details on my WRITERS page.
Can you make my screenplay into a feature film?
If you had several million pounds and a distributor I could. If not, you are
better off searching for a film production company or a producer.
Although I hope that one day I will have my own production company and
will be producing films, at the moment I am screenwriting and I am also
looking for someone to make MY screenplays into movies.
Can I be your friend?
I get a lot of friendly e-mails, but unfortunately I do
not get enough time in my life to correspond with my
existing friends let alone the multitude of people on the
net. This sadddens me as I do not like to exclude anyone
the hand of friendship so I have set up a Film Group
which I hope will bring us all together in filmic love.
Too apply, please fill in my feedback form, making sure you
check the Jengo Film Club box. You can also become my
friendster, which is an online networking group.
Can I send you an e-mail attachment?
No. I do not accept e-mail attachments for security
reasons. If you need to send me something EMAIL ME the
details.
Can I send you a photo?
No. I do not accept e-mail attachments for security
reasons. You can set up free webspace or Yahoo! photos
then e-mail me
the location and I will visit the site.
I have this great idea for a film, but don't know how to write a screenplay.
Can you write my screenplay for me?
It is best that you at least try yourself - you may discover a new skill in the
process. Check out my my writers' pages.
You can send me a one-page synopsis via e-mail, but NOT as an
attachment. Remember to copyright all ideas before you send them to
anyone.
Do you want a writing partner?
Possibly. I am already co-writing several projects, with several different
writers. It may be best to get to know me better first. I have a film group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jengofilmgroup which has many creative
members, which you may like to join.
Can I tag along with you at work to see what you do?
No. Unfortunately I am not in a position to say yes. It
is better to ask department heads or Production Companies
rather than assistants. Especially now I've started writing, I generally work
from home! Skillset run special courses in
Film Production which do this. www.skillset.org.uk
Can you get me my favorite actors autograph?
No. Working in the film industry may seem glamarous but it's still a job
and I don't tend to meet actors on a day to day basis and if I did I would not
ask as it is a professional working atmosphere and you need to let the
actors some peace to get on with their work. You can, however,
to write to their agent and they usually will send out
autographs. You can find addresses on the Internet Movie Database and
www.whorepresents.com.
Make sure you enclose a self addressed envelope (at least
10x8 inches in size with protective card) with relevant
postage/international reply coupons. Be prepared to wait
up to a year for a reply.

What is a synopsis?
A SYNOPSIS is a brief account of your story, usually one
to three pages long. A TREATMENT is a more indepth
version of a synopsis and is around 20 pages long and
includes selected dialogue. See my writers' page for further
details.
I sent you an e-mail and I haven't yet had a reply
I get a lot of e-mails, but don't get much time to respond, especially if the
response is complicated (usually a short question needing a long
answer). Sometimes AOL fails to deliver and some mail gets lost and
sometimes if the subject line is left blank or is unclear, I can accidently
delete them thinking them spam. Sometimes when I get a huge amount of
mail it can just get lost in the deluge. Best send me another - unless I
already answer the question here or elsewhere on the site.
e-mail me
Who designed the website www.jengo.8m.com?
I did, all by myself. As it's just me it takes me a while
to resarch all the links and upload them to my site. As
you can see it's a work in progress and will continue to
develop and grow. I started on Adobe Go
Live! then I le0arnt HTML coding from a couple of
books
'HTML 4 FOR THE WORLD WIDE WEB' and "HTML MADE
SIMPLE" . The artwork I created in
Adobe PhotoShop. The webspace I have is from a
HREF=http://www.freeservers.com>www.freeservers.com
, which is an US company. The basic package is FREE and
has lots of web building tools so you don't need to know
HTML. Last year I paid to remove annoying advertising and
pop-ups for $50 per year which includes simple site
statistics.
