How did this go?

They make it seem like there are over 1000 production companies but it seems almost all of them say must be submitted by agent and haven't seen any yet that give out emails. I put Las Vegas in the location filter and they don't list any. All are in LA area.

I have contacted some production companies in the past. I even submitted to them through a lawyer. Nothing has panned out yet. I like this ImdbPro website though. It gives out a lot of possible contacts. But most require snail mail instead of by email.

Also this is a bad time with the writers and actors strike... I'll probably try to contact more agents in the coming year now that I work less and have more time than I've had in the last 10 years.

Didn't Vegas the TV show end in 2008, so 15 years ago? Since then you have only created an imdbpro page because of a lack of time?

I won an award on my baseball team in 1994, if anyone knows of any MLB teams who are hiring.

come back when you're 3x honored

No, I have have also contacted some entertainment people you would know since 2009 but I'd rather not give out their names. One of them said you need to get it to me through an agent. And I also mentioned I have submitted through a lawyer. Lawyers aren't cheap by the way. I figure I've spent several hundred dollars on lawyer's fees, typewriter paper, printer ink, packaging, script covers, postage etc. Sorry that is not enough for some of you.

Actually I think I should be thanked instead of ridiculed for at least offering the poker community a sliver of hope (because of the honors) that a great poker themed movie is at least possible.

That is MORE than enough. You found a way to time travel to 1943.

Oh, and OP should connect with:

Earlier I mentioned the TV show "Las Vegas." I thought production values of that show were very good. But my story has a whole different vibe from that show. Its stories were from hotel management's point of view. My story is from the people who truly gamble point of view. Some people at the time thought why make a Vegas movie when we have the TV show "Las Vegas". Their thinking was wrong because as I said, the vibe of each would have been totally different.

Sounds like you might have spent thousands of dollars to market any project you might have done, if so, did you get a results for all that money spent.

Does the Nevada Film Festival, at which you won 1st place, have a website?

It's now known as the Nevada International Film Festival, back when I won the award it was just known as the Nevada Film Festival:

I reread my own post about 10 times, and still can't figure out how you drew this inference.

The question was does it have a website. Not an article. Does the Nevada International Film Festival have a website?

After a little searching it looks like the last year for the Nevada International Film Festival (formerly known as The Nevada Film Festival) was 2013. It started I believe in 2008. Competition from the Las Vegas Film Festival (now the Las Vegas International Film Festival) probably didn't help. So since it ended in 2013 it probably currently doesn't have a website. But it did have a website back when that original 2 + 2 thread was going on and one of the posters in that thread copied and pasted some of the award winners which you can view in Post 31 on page 3 of that thread.

I called the office of the Nevada Film Festival after I won a 1st place award and asked how many entries were there and the lady in the office said several hundred. Which seems very reasonable since the Scriptapalooza Contest I won a quarterfinalist honor had over 3700 entries.

It's common knowledge now that award shows viewership is down. The TV Guide awards are now defunct. Does that mean those that won a TV Guide award did not deserve to be honored.

Was my conclusion right or close to being right?

You sure do spend a lot of time in this thread.
Have you considered spending your time somewhere that might gain you some progress?

A far more interesting movie would be to cover players that win (Advantage Players)
Most wouldn't be interested as they prefer to STFU and keep winning the money.

Not even close.

Look at what you wrote. You spent "hundreds" on lawyers, typewriter paper, script covers, postage, etc. – all references to an older era. Lawyers now cost thousands, not hundreds, unless you consulted one for an hour. Typewriter paper still exists, sure, but it has largely been superseded by printer/copier paper, which has a slightly lower GSM. So while technically accurate, the mere mention of typewriter paper feels almost as antiquated as if you insisted on hiring only "studio contract players for your talking picture."

As for script covers and postage, well, I'll give you a pass on that because I don't doubt that many outfits still insist on receiving submissions in that physical form. ("This entrant doth used 23/24 stapes to fasten his submission, only brass brads are accepted here. To the refuse!") In fact, it's likely the old-habits-die-hard mentality of the boomer studio suits that the actors' and writers' strikes are so contentious.

So that accounts for about an 100-200 minutes of your time. What did you do with the other 7,883,800 minutes that deserves us thanking you for that sliver of hope?

I don't know where you got the 100-200 minutes but you'll need to add some time for the 12 years (part time) to finish the 1st edition. Actually I think the current edition is around 20% better than the edition that won a 1st place award. And I'm sure it could even be better if I tightened it up more. But for the time being it's probably best just to leave everything in to give any director more to work with.

120% x $0.00 = ??

I had a friend, he was a great baseball player, back in high school....

He could throw that speedball by you, make you look like a fool...

Oh man I loved that show when it was on, I've probably seen every episode. Have you seen it? What's your favorite one? Mine is the one where Josh Duhammel's character doesn't know what he should do about a high roller cheating situation so he goes to a little touristy church set behind all the famous hotels, and he sits through the sermon and the preacher is going on, playing to the tourists about like "who here has been winning" and "did you know gambling isn't a sin?" and Josh Duhammel gets all inspired and he knows what to do about the guy they caught cheating and then they start passing along the offering basket and everyone is putting in their money or envelopes and he's like "eeeerg, I don't have any cash" because he's a poor working stiff you know so he's rummaging through his pockets and all he has is a green $25 chip from his casino so he just kind of slips it in there. I just kind of thought you never really see that in TV or movies and it was really cool, it's always stuck with me.
