My name is Luke Keith, I am very new to the whole "writer" thing... I am not talented or particularly skilled at writing, I often think I would rather have a root canal. However, I have an incredible passion for story telling and movie making.

My co-writer and I have spent the last 4 years writing a story for a live action Ninja Turtles movie. It is not a screenplay. It is a vision in story form with hundreds of pages of character profiles, history, and various other things that complete the overall vision and universe we have created.

We have put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this project and despite some promising leads in the beginning, were unable to get the studio's attention primarily because we are unsolicited. We are simply trying to find a way to get the right person's attention (I guess that's every writer right?). We have started an online campaign, shot an interview, and gained a lot of attention from the fan community, but so far have made no real headway with the studios... the website is http://www.ninjaturtles-movie.com ....

The only reason I say all that is because we are in foreign territory right now and looking for a sense of direction. If you were in our shoes, what would you do?

Thanks in advance for any advice you have to offer.

Welcome to the Cooler.

Wow. That is incredibly geeky. I approve wholeheartedly with more TMNT goodness. :)

I must be the only person on the planet who thinks that the female turtle from the live-action series was a good idea, so my taste in turtle-related matters is subject to disbelief, ridicule and long, withering stares...

haha, yea... that is a bit odd, I don't think I've ever met a single person who appreciated the female turtle.

Turtles was a huge part of our childhood and the first movie either of us ever purchased with our own money. I am an artist, and I spent several years of my childhood drawing nothing but ninja turtles. My co-writer is the same, we firmly believe the next movie can be great, but it just needs a solid vision! The biggest production budget and the best actors cannot save a poorly conceived movie.

There has got to be a better way to reach somebody than by cold calling random agents.

How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. Good luck.
