I really wish the script would be made available to potential backers. If I liked the writing I might be inclined to contribute to the project.

What would be the downside of publishing the script for a film that is trying to get social funding like this? The script is copyrighted, registered with script guild, etc. is there something to worry about?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you have any advice for someone looking to get involved (as an actor and/or a sound guy) with the Bay Area indie film scene? I was on a local mailing list for a couple years called "Low/No Budget films" or something but it seems to have fizzled.

Honestly, it's difficult. I have family ties here or I would have moved to LA 5 years ago; it's hard to make a living up here because there are relatively few productions and not much networking infrastructure. You can check in with Film Arts Foundation in SF (9th street I think) who have some decent resources, but the best ways to get gigs are a) craigslist and b) lurk around the Academy of Art in SF, which is alway…

Will do! I used to be pretty active in the sound scene (mostly live/acoustic recording) in the Bay but have been away for a couple years. I'm looking forward to returning and getting back into it. :)
