Not only that, but we have also made some pretty significant changes to the site and added some new features you should check out -- all detailed below. Just as we have done in the past when launching our other new sections, with the new Plays section you can just follow the upload instructions on the site and upload your Play without reviewing any others.

]]> Sat, 10 Nov 2007 04:00:00 -0700 http://www.triggerstreet.com/gyrobase/TriggerUpdates?oid=oid%3A1238104 It was only 5 years ago this month that the following message was posted on this site by Dana Brunetti, Co-Founder and President of TriggerStreet.com: No longer do you need to "know somebody" to get a foot in Hollywood's door. We offer the chance of exposure and access for filmmakers and screenwriters alike, to showcase their talent from anywhere, while at the same time giving everyone the ability to view and judge the work submitted.

]]> Fri, 9 Nov 2007 04:00:00 -0700 http://www.triggerstreet.com/gyrobase/TriggerUpdates?oid=oid%3A1237179 Since its inception, TriggerStreet.com has been the place to go if you wanted to find exposure and feedback for your Screenplays and Short Films online. Now, in addition to being able to upload your Short Stories to the site, a section we launched earlier this year, you can now also upload Books that you have written. Much like we did with Short Stories when that section first launched, we will have an initial temporary period of "free" uploads for Books, meaning that unlike the existing sections of the site that require you to complete assigned reviews before you can upload your work, you can just follow the upload instructions on the site and upload your Book without reviewing any others.
