Dear Ian,
I agree with you, that too many emails were sent to the steering
group. I sent too many mails as well. I know.
I wanted to stop this, but I kept on receiving (sometimes privately)
mails from colleagues with interesting content to discuss. That is
why I went on until now.
Concerning the discussion room:
you (or someone else) should explain a little more how we can get on
that "discussion room". I didn't succeed right now. But I am in a
hurry, so maybe later.
I am a volonteer for the thinking about the creation of the "organised
network" (from my practical international screenwriting and production
knowledge), but I don't have any personal ambition for the network. I
have made my choice: my ambition is in professionalism: international
financing and screenwriting. But I can learn a lot from the academics,
from other screenwriters and from my own reflections and research.
Best regards,
Hugo
