Hello netters:
Having just had some really rotten kinds of life
experiences lately, I must lift myself from depression.
Hence....
listening to NPR radio) has been to produce a radio
drama. Well, Now I intend to.
I have several ideas I'd like to bounce off those of
you might have the same interests.
1) What do you think of a "long distance production"
ie. Radio drama produced at long distance. The
logistics are sticky but I believe possable. I'll
discuss particulars only if people are
interested. Although even if what I have in mind, a
"networked production" of radio drama (:-), is not
feasable, other questions here may interest you.
2) Does anyone have any ideas for a short story
(prefferably Sf) to produce. Once I had thought
to do _Who Goes There_ (Campbell), after the movie
people told me flat out NO. I searched for
others, currently _The Devil You Don't_ (Kieth
Laumer) is my fav, however I have not contacted him
or his agents yet. Ideally something in the
public domain, or specially written would be nice
as then royalties are avoided. Are there any
scenarists out there willing to try?
3) The stories should be suitable for radio adaption,
To get a feel for this listen to some of the
stories on NPR like Hitchhiker's Guide, Star Wars,
Nightfall, etc...
4) Since I'm cross posting this to star trek, what do
you trekkies know about _Star Trek_ rights. An
idea that just hit me this morning was that it would
be nice to hear Star Trek adapted like Star wars
was (new stories of course). Perhaps this is a
rediculous notion as I'm sure Shatner, Nemoy,
Kelly, would'nt be involved, would it still be
star trek without them? What ore legalistic
problems exist? perhaps you have ideas about this
or other series that could be adapted, (Conan comes
to mind).
5) On legalities, if for instance someone were to
write a star trek scenarieo, produced, and
broadcast it would there be trouble? ie is the world
of star trek all sewn up?
6) Ideally If this ever gets off the ground whether I
do it locally or long distance (really, I've got
ideas that would probably work) I would like to give
it to NPR for distribution, Wow national fame
for those involved.
Well are there any closet radio actors out
there? Anybody interested? Send mail or even discuss on
the net although I'm not sure what group to discuss this on.
This message is cross posted on net.sf-lovers,
net.startrek and net.movies (maybe a mistake) no flames
please. I think this could work.
Thanks for your time (and hopefully interest)
