CocoonFilms Junior Member	posted 02-28-2001 10:23 PM Hello, We are Cocoon films. My partner and I attended the project Greenlight top 10 screening on Monday and were very impressed by the quality of everything we saw. We were impressed also with some of the top 250 screenplays that we read and noticed how one of the top 30 was actually initially a top 250 alternate. We think there must be many excellent scripts that did not reach the top 10. If you have a script that you think should be made you can email me at Billy@Cocoonfilms.com or mail the screenplay directly to our Burbank office: Billy LaVigna Cocoon Films 3500 West Olive Ave. Suite 1470 Burbank,CA 91505 About Cocoon Films: We are an independent Production Company that has produced a number of independent films, most recently "Whitebread" starring Jenny McCarthy, Liam Waite and Harry Shearer. My partners John Asher and Ken Jacobson Directed and Co-produced "Diamonds" distributed by Miramax last December and starring Lauren Bacall, Kirk Douglas and Dan Aykryod.

Mojave Member	posted 03-01-2001 02:08 PM Just wanted to chime in and say that these guys are the real deal, Fellow Greenlighters. I recently optioned my PGL script JUST A PHONE CALL AWAY to them and am currently rewriting. After I turn in that draft, these guys will start shopping it around (or at least that's the plan). I've only met Ken so far, but he's a really cool guy who seems very motivated. Thanks to Signman for hooking me up with him! IP: Logged

Rubak Member	posted 03-08-2001 01:03 PM <blatent plug> Well, gosh. I just sent my script 20,000 DAYS to you. Hope you can see the potential in it. Hey, since you are reading this, why don't you grab 20,000 DAYS and review it yourself. I'd be interested in hearing more feedback on it. Thanks. </blatent plug> IP: Logged
Strobel Junior Member	posted 03-13-2001 12:57 AM I have several scripts myself. Most of them are written for stage, but I have a few that really should be filmed. I'll email you a treatment for the dark fantasy piece I'm doing. -Strobel IP: Logged

CocoonFilms Junior Member	posted 03-30-2001 09:52 AM Hi Wasabi, You are right, we have received quite a number of responses. But my partners and I intend on reading each and every script submitted. We tend to give priority to full screenplays sent to us and have not gotten around to responding to most log lines or "pitches". We are anticipating having enough free time this summer if the SAG strike happens to read every script we have received. In the meantime we are doing our best to read and respond back to those we can. We believe in the "PGL" idea and look forward to many great things happening with it.

hannahwrites Junior Member	posted 04-10-2001 07:52 AM Still looking, Billy? Got a great recipe for you. Take a little bit of steel magnolias, add a dash of the wizard of oz, and a pinch of harry potter - now you've got "Yesterday's Child." Add soundtrack by Harry Connick, Wyonna and Naomi and Aaron Neville (lyrics by this author, also) email: Hannahwrites@aol.com IP: Logged
alhorton Member	posted 04-13-2001 10:53 AM One of my friends sent a screenplay to you guys, and never heard back. You also never responded to his e-mail. Are you still in business? IP: Logged
CocoonFilms Junior Member	posted 04-20-2001 12:59 PM We are still reading, reading and reading. We have found a couple of scripts that we are looking into further. I probably havn't responded back to your friend yet because we havn't gotten around to reading his script yet. IP: Logged
Jenroe Junior Member	posted 04-21-2001 05:56 PM Hi Billy, I have written five scripts. I would like to submit one for your review. Is there a particular genre you prefer? Thanks, Jen IP: Logged
