Julie Keck & Jessica King @kingisafink Transcript - November 8, 2015


On November 8th, we had Julie Keck and Jessica King @kingisafink on the chat to discuss how screenwriters and filmmakers can effectively use social media to advance their careers, fund their indie film projects and build a solid network. For more tips from Julie and Jessica, get their great book, Social Media Charm School: A Guide for Filmmakers & Screenwriters (THE FINK SCHOOL FOR HUMANS SERIES Book 1).

**NOTE: To read the transcript in order, scroll to the bottom and read backwords. My apologies for not being able to pull the transcript on Storify.

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
@kingisafink Q That brings up a good question... how to campaign without annoying... The necessary balance is tough. #scriptchat

Anthony D Paul @writeranthonydp
#scriptchat @GCGeek And I do the opposite.

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
The fabulous @princess_scribe has an amazing project on IGG right now: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tidelands#/ #indiefilm #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
Julie is pro-LinkedIn. Great way to follow-up post-film fest and other live events. A digital resume. #ScriptChat

The Finks @kingisafink
We're split on this, actually. RT @GreenSeaPro: should LinkedIn be thought of a social network? Or thought of at all? #scriptchat

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
Another tip. You can use social media to promote yourself and your projects, but also promote others too. Pay it forward. #scriptchat

Mike Morucci @GCGeek
@zacsanford2 agree. Notable tweets cited via other media. But these scheduled convos are still cool! #scriptchat

GreenSea Productions @GreenSeaPro
@kingisafink should LinkedIn be thought of a social network? Or thought of at all? #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
.@SarahAlexis4 oh man, we don't have a crystal ball, but we hope to see filmmakers innovate and find new ways to market films #ScriptChat

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
@GCGeek conversations used to be great on here... but now it seems most convos start because of fights/disagreements. #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
MT @SarahAlexis4: Q: What's coming down the pike in terms of social media for writers/filmmakers as it continues to evolve? #scriptchat

Mike Morucci @GCGeek
I do find conversations on Facebook more engaging. Twitter often feels like "shouting" in the wind, & requires deft tools/lists #scriptchat

Sarah A Newman @SarahAlexis4
@kingisafink Q: What do you see coming down the pike in terms of social media for writers/filmmakers as it continues to evolve? #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
.@zacsanford2 We're havin' a blast! Let's land this baby. #ScriptChat

Christopher Phillips @byChrisPhillips
I use Facebook only for writing groups that I'm in. There's no way to separate writing from other stuff. #scriptchat

Sarah A Newman @SarahAlexis4
@zacsanford2 Very much appreciate the support! #scriptchat

Chris Neumann @blueneumann
@GCGeek @kingisafink i love my iPad, but I can't type on it worth a darn #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
The Force is strong w/ you. :) RT @GCGeek: if I was on set or in lrI would use Instagram. I resist selfies of me at my desk :) #scriptchat

Mike Morucci @GCGeek
@kingisafink and if I could type on an iPad... "Irl"=in production #scriptchat

Chris Neumann @blueneumann
I do #scriptchat and I don't speak up that much on there

David A. Youngquist @Al_1701
@blueneumann @Al_1701 Indeed. My real life is rather boring with school and regular job hunting. #scriptchat

Madam I'm Adam @FinalFenwayFict
Already checked-in for tomorrow's flight. Alright, Hollywood, let's do this. #scriptchat #amwriting

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
14 minutes left in the chat. Thanks all for the many great questions and @kingisafink for rockin' the chat. #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
For example, if you want to find screenwriters, #ScriptChat is a pretty great place to be.

Chris Neumann @blueneumann
@Al_1701 I had the same issue with MySpace and all those others: what the hell am I supposed to DO on there? #scriptchat

Dwayne Conyers @dwacon
Follow dwacon on all social media... you cannot go wrong #scriptchat

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
Same here. RT @blueneumann: My Instagram account is... too uninteresting to link to #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
So...how do you find your specific audience? Find where they already congregate online. #ScriptChat

Chris Neumann @blueneumann
My Instagram account is... too uninteresting to link to #scriptchat

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
Give this IG account a follow! RT @SarahAlexis4: @zacsanford2 Thanks so much, Zac. My Instagram is instagram.com/writecreatebe/ #scriptchat

David A. Youngquist @Al_1701
@blueneumann Same here. #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
.@SarahAlexis4 The audience for your film/writing is the social media audience you're seeking. #ScriptChat

Anthony D Paul @writeranthonydp
#scriptchat Maybe ill start takin more selfies of myself. That will do it. @kingisafink

Sarah A Newman @SarahAlexis4
@zacsanford2 Thanks so much, Zac. My Instagram is instagram.com/writecreatebe/ #scriptchat

Chris Neumann @blueneumann
I'm a member of Stage32. I almost never go there #scriptchat

@kingisafink Stage32 is also a great option. #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
MT @SarahAlexis4: Q: How do you get more specific abt potential audience for social media? #scriptchat

Mike Morucci @GCGeek
@kingisafink if I was on set or in lrI would use Instagram. I resist selfies of me at my desk :) #scriptchat

Dwayne Conyers @dwacon
@zacsanford2 I did a few scopes... including one in the room with Dawn “Mary Ann” Wells... #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
Save it for live events. Very easy to set up. MT @zacsanford2: If I had more time, I'd probably jump on Periscope... #scriptchat

Annette B. Bailey @AB2screenwriter
@kingisafink I'm flattered and honored simultaneously! #scriptchat

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
@SarahAlexis4 You should post a link to your writer IG account. You share some great inspirational messages. #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
And we're still learning about Instagram. But you can see what we're trying out here ---> ow.ly/UoCn3 #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
Besides Twitter/FB, we're loving Instagram right now. Great way to showcase the series we have in production and in post. #ScriptChat

Sarah A Newman @SarahAlexis4
@zacsanford2 I've been using Instagram too. Created a specific account on there with a writing/creativity/productivity focus. #scriptchat

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
@GCGeek I did the same with Foursquare. Plus I didn't like people knowing where I was and no one was home. :) #scriptchat

Anthony D Paul @writeranthonydp
#scriptchat instagram

The Finks @kingisafink
MT @zacsanford2: Twitter/FB, what other sites are you guys using to grow your social media brand? #scriptchat

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
If I had more time, I'd probably jump on Periscope... But right now it goes FB, twitter, adn then IG for amount used. #scriptchat

Sarah A Newman @SarahAlexis4
@kingisafink Q: How do you suggest getting more specific about potential audience for social media? Things to consider? #scriptchat

Dwayne Conyers @dwacon
@kingisafink I did that at a Women in Film event. Made tons of new contacts. #scriptchat

Mike Morucci @GCGeek
@zacsanford2 I used to post activities on foursquare but it soon felt irrelevant #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
@AB2screenwriter You're a bit part of that! #ScriptChat

The Finks @kingisafink
Instead, insinuate yourself into the convos of others, introduce yourself, ask questions, give compliments, be curious. #ScriptChat

Anthony D Paul @writeranthonydp
#scriptchat Definitely need to follow more photographers. like janice would say...for sureee

The Finks @kingisafink
Love the oft-used analogy of social media as cocktail party: You can't just walk in and say I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE HOME #ScriptChat

Dwayne Conyers @dwacon
@zacsanford2 Err’thang #scriptchat

Dwayne Conyers @dwacon
I regret not being in NYC so I could have won $5,000 to heckle The Donald, like Larry David did... #scriptchat

Asking instead of giving or showing. MT @zacsanford2: Biggest mistakes you see writers/filmmakers do on social media? #scriptchat

Uh oh, did we lose The Finks? #scriptchat

Anthony D Paul @writeranthonydp
#scriptchat let's follow everyone on this chat. Go.

Shatarra Lashawn @shatarralashawn
much to say regrading politics, but I know never to touch on the subject. Too sensitive of a topic. #scriptchat twitter.com/zacsanford2/st…

Though while I'll self-censor thoughts on some subjects, other things like equality for all, I'll champion any time. #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
We do talk and tweet abt sex & sexual politics a lot, but that's a part of our brand. Started w/ Kinky Cuties after all... #ScriptChat

Dwayne Conyers @dwacon
@kingisafink @zacsanford2 So nothing about asking Buddha who should be president... #scriptchat

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
@Al_1701 @AB2screenwriter Even on FB (which is more just friends/family) I hold back, especially as the black sheep of the fam. #scriptchat

RT @zacsanford2: I self censor all the time, especially when it comes to politics. Or religion. #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
That being said, don't be shy to be yourself. We don't hide that we're a couple, don't hide political rants, things like that. #ScriptChat

Annette B. Bailey @AB2screenwriter
@kingisafink @zacsanford2 Self-censoring is relative, right? #scriptchat

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
#Forever RT @kingisafink: Twitter's a very public record, so don't put anything out there that you don't always want out there. #scriptchat

David A. Youngquist @Al_1701
@kingisafink Why air your dirty laundry to those who cannot help? #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
Twitter's a very public record, so don't put anything out there that you don't always want out there. #ScriptChat

The Finks @kingisafink
While we're pretty open, we rarely take personal issues or problems to the Twitters. #ScriptChat

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
We're at the halfway point with @kingisafink -- Get your questions in regarding Social Media before it's too late. #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
Oh sure! MT @zacsanford2: Do you ever censor yourself on what you tweet? #scriptchat

Shatarra Lashawn @shatarralashawn
It's important not to build yourself up in this false persona online. People will find out eventually. #scriptchat twitter.com/kingisafink/st…

The Finks @kingisafink
This is the way to go. Keep at it. RT @Al_1701: I try to be thoughtful instead of blind praise. #scriptchat

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
@kingisafink With the Twitter mob that's out there, do you ever censor yourself on what you tweet? #scriptchat

David A. Youngquist @Al_1701
However, I'm drown out by the blind praise. #scriptchat

Annette B. Bailey @AB2screenwriter
@kingisafink Hallelujah! #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
@writeranthonydp Many ppl will appreciate that. :) #ScriptChat

David A. Youngquist @Al_1701

...we were promoting our lesbian comedy series. Same us; diff projects. #ScriptChat

The Finks @kingisafink
For example, when we were promoting our military doc, we were ourselves, but our promotion of that was diff than when... #ScriptChat

I'm on Instagram. There's just nothin' around worth photographing #scriptchat

Dwayne Conyers @dwacon
@kingisafink My colleagues in Europe and Asia say WHATSAPP is essential... more so than FB or TW #scriptchat

The Finks @kingisafink
Overlooked areas for filmmakers on social media? We're big Twitter fans, but we're really digging Instagram lately. Visual. #ScriptChat

Zac Sanford (backup) @zacsanford2
@Al_1701 On the acting side it is becoming more and more crucial to have a social media following, but now it is trickling down. #scriptchat

David A. Youngquist @Al_1701
@kingisafink @Al_1701 I'm active during this. Not so much the other 167 hours of the week. #scriptchat
