Time Is Running Out To Make A Movie With Roman Coppola!

By Ryan O'Connell,

Time is running out for you to submit your screenplay to Four Stories, the short film series and competition headed by Roman Coppola! You have till August 30th to send in your killer story so what are you waiting for?

For a refresher on the details of the competition, look no further than this post and then get crackin’! It can’t be too hard. The guidelines for your script are basically just “set your story in a fabulous W Hotel and incorporate an Intel Ultrabook.” Sounds perfect, no? Now go let your brain marinate in its lovely juices and start writing! Who knows, your brilliant mind might actually conjure up something fantastic and you’ll win! Yes, that’s right: you’ll be a winner, filmmaker, and a potential BFF of Roman Coppola. Not too shabby. TC Mark

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
