Screenwriting : If you sent the wrong script....... by Katherine De Bois

Katherine De Bois

If you sent the wrong script.......

Hypothetically if you were stupid enough to send a raw, ( AND I MEAN RAW) draft to a producer here who requested your script, would you pay to pitch the same person again, and this time hope they request it and you send the correct one........or is that wasting their time and perhaps breaking some industry behavior code?

Maló Xavier

I agree with @Dan. Given that it is common to have a lot of drafts in the folder during the writing process I would feel no shame. But send him/her another email with a the last draft.

Jerry Robbins

I did that once, and as Dan and Malo suggested, I contacted them and sent the correct version - they were fine with it. Mistakes happen.

Erik A. Jacobson

We're human. We make mistakes. The producer will understand.

Nick Assunto

Hey Katherine, to be clear, you can't contact any executives we work with on Stage 32 without their permission. You can email me over at Writerhelp@stage32.com though and if you uploaded the wrong script for a request that hasn't been returned yet, I can fix that for you.

Katherine De Bois

Nick Assunto yes I understand. That's why I was asking whether I should organise another pitch ( through here lol) just to be able to explain.

Ewan Dunbar

Contact Nick and go from there. If you have made a mistake it is better to get it fixed as soon as you notice it.

Phyllis K Twombly

Is there a way to delete a wrong file in the submission process; sent before it was due but instead of the two page synopsis it's an entire script?
