Have you heard of the website Snag Films? I hadn’t either until I saw that the feature length documentary Dreams on Spec is available there to view in its entirety. What is Dreams on Spec? From the Snag Films website:

DREAMS ON SPEC takes an intimate look at how far people will go – and how much they will sacrifice – for the chance to pursue their dreams. This feature-length documentary delves into the lives of three aspiring Hollywood screenwriters as they pour their hearts into their spec scripts, pitch their ideas to anyone who will listen, go to meetings, hold table reads, and work at low-level day-jobs in the hopes of one day seeing one of their beloved creations made into a movie.

The film is 86 minutes (plus commercial breaks) which is too long for me personally to watch a film online so I’m going to try and tune it in via boxee on my Apple TV. The official Dreams on Spec website has additional information about the film as well. If you want to get the doc on disc then click on over to Amazon as they have the dvd too. I think many of us make a new years resolution to write more and for me 2009 was no exception. Maybe this documentary can help inspire a bit. Happy screenwriting in 2009!
