THE COMPASS NETWORK The Compass Network is a media hub for the new generation. Forget big-money gatekeepers, ratings-anemic networks, cookie-cutter blockbusters and bloated publishing houses. Think innovative webseries, new talent, DIY filmmaking, self-publishing. Media is in a new era. An era of Netflix, DeviantArt, Kickstarter. Self-published eBooks, viral personal vlogs and webcomics as good as anything in stores. An era where the only barrier to respect is earning it. Not where you live. Not who you are. Not how many TV or feature credits are under your belt or your college degree. The Compass Network is a new community designed to signal boost the significant untapped talent out there. Podcasts. Webseries. Script series. Vlogs. Webcomics. We are charting a new direction for entertainment. We are your next destination. Come join us and build the future. To join in the fun, just go to: www.thecompassnet.com |

We at Compass want to give our screenwriters exposure to as big an audience as possible. So, we've decided to circulate a collection of excerpts from Compass projects to give lots of unconventional readers a taste test of what they might find here. Featuring Compass films, script series, and Workshop projects, the Compass Compilation for our August 2013 launch includes work from Shannon Litt, Dex MacLeod, and myself, hopefully the launch for a successful quarterly compilation hereafter.
2. COMPASS FILMS: Gamer Girl Excerpt 3. COMPASS FILMS: Cradle Song Excerpt 4. COMPASS SCRIPT SERIES: Caydem Falls Excerpt 5. COMPASS PREVIEW: Timeless Pilot Preview 6. WORKSHOP SHOWCASE: Batgirl & Robin Excerpt 7. WORKSHOP SHOWCASE: Characters ExcerptSound off at Compass on your thoughts re: the opening letter, the excerpts, the format, and any questions/concerns/comments about the project! We'll be distributing this to potential contacts, in and outside the industry, as a sample of the work available at Compass on launch. |
