Marshall’s Law Dateline – News tip, will Texas Drifter’s new tech marketing strategies to get past corporate internet receptionists to corporate decision makers be successful?

Part I followed by Part II: Some background information

Part I: Minimum bid accepted limits

Date: December 16, 2015
To: ….. Amazon Studios
From: John “Editor” Marshall for Texas Drifter

Subject: PRIVATE SUBMISSION – Recent “initial discussion proposal” clarifications

Theme: “Quantity of screenplay concepts plus quality of submitted materials; means more profits and less costs for Amazon Studios”

Initial reaction, Amazon Studios’ policies of two hundred thousand dollars, three year options for individual visual production proposals as perceived by this old man in declining health, who has no family or relatives. Like having toilet paper that one will never have opportunity to use.
Better initial general options for both Texas Drifter / “Editor” Marshall, and Amazon Studios balance sheets.

I. Texas Drifter Rents Screenplay Concepts inventory is offered at fifty thousand dollars per unit plus three percent “off top” gross revenues. Savings cost per Amazon Studios: one hundred fifty thousand dollars per unit. Savings which could be used to employ professional association screen writers to turn screenplay concepts into production ready scripts. Other savings include: involves time and financial costs after Amazon Studios exercises option.

Reference Texas Drifter Rents Screenplay Concepts for current screenplay concept inventory; which could result in possible saving of forty to fifty units multiplied by one hundred fifty thousand dollars which adds up to financial savings that should be of interest to Amazon Studios. Note, Texas Drifter has saved his best screenplay concepts for last; possibly ten plus or minus more.

II. Non-negotiable – all print rights for “Marshall’s Law Texas Drifter Library Index” “writing exercises – (including training manual SPY AS A VERB: art and ethics of Surveillance). Why, all print rights proceeds go to Marshall’s Law Texas Drifter Foundation - Reference Marshall’s Law Texas Drifter Library Index # 732 – Amazon being in publishing business might be interested as being publisher for profits so long as all appropriate residuals go to foundation.

III. Residuals from retail sales for “Marshall’s Star Cross” determined by Editor Marshall when above business arrangements prove acceptable.

IV.
1. “Lyrical visual prose” lyrics intended for use in screenplay concept TWENTY PAST ELEVEN which is still in outline form; and is prequel to one of Texas Drifter best writing efforts: LIFE IS NOT FAIR (reference web page to view concept).

2. Texas Drifter / Editor Marshall media-policies: We alone and no one else schedules our interviews, public appearances, and private audiences – no exceptions.
3. Commercial endorsements – same as media policies – neither of us want to see our photos on boxes of feminine hygiene products
4. Citizen’s Flag registered logo – plus theories like ACP can be reviewed in future
5. Currently have about ten plus or minus screenplay concepts in outlines – recall saving best writings for last.
6. Hope to add photos to “Texas Drifter Rents Screenplay Concepts” website in few weeks – have not even discussed available forty plus years of photo art.

In an effort to keep this “private submission” proposal for discussion close to five hundred words. Issue to be judged by Amazon Studios is: “Quantity of screenplay concepts plus quality of submitted materials; means more profits and less costs for Amazon Studios”. My question is, was my presentation effective?

SECTION 2: – Writing styles
1. - Perhaps of most interest to Reader? - Texas Drifter Rents Screenplay Concepts - Website (2013) – Why “screenplay concepts” –Producer will rewrite story or concept for production budget anyway – Also increases financial success ratio: can produce three concepts for same time applied to one polished short story; OR ten or more screenplay concepts for one polished novel.
2. “Writing exercises” non-fiction contemporary issues essays. Reference (Google) Marshall’s Law Texas Drifter Library Index.

SECTION 3: - Most Recent title: “TEXAS DRIFTER: TODAY’S TRUTH YESTERDAY” marketing strategy is “no-charge (gratis) pamphlet” to reference Texas Drifter previous writing exercises; plus serve as “bait” for past and in progress writing exercises.

SECTION 6: – Closing: Courtesy Dateline – Reader should feel free to download Marshall’s Law Texas Drifter Library Index and favorite Library Entry #’s to their personal files; so long as downloads are not edited and or used for commercial purposes. One example, free all year gifts for Reader to enjoy and distribute; from Texas Drifter and Editor Marshall - reference Library Entry # 732 – “Marketing Memo for Editor Marshall” and M.LT.D. Library Index # 579.

SECTION 7: - In closing - Perhaps screen play concepts might be marketed as serial, with regular special host only; or regular special hosts with member of cast (client’s production, client’s choice) – Title might be “[INSERT BID WINNERS NAME] Texas Drifter Library” – Possible program opening, Host pulls down book from library shelf – opens to live page screen as production begins.

Editor Marshall, reminder note – Texas Drifter has intentionally saved his best screen play concepts for last to coincide with improved skills based on experiences.
