Running against time, a woman must first test three guys vying for her love, to choose the ideal candidate to marry, and acquire a job position she yearns for.
Love, where can I find you? I am well aware you’re out there somewhere. I need you although I’m afraid, since there’s no telling of the outcome. Love they say you’re a mere blind, kind, joyful, wild untamed beast that knows no bounds. Others go on about searching for you their entire life time, with...

Hello Jeffrey!
Hello Allen
I submitted my script in Happy Writers to have the first ten pages read by a studio exec. It was none other than Regina Lee of New Line. Evidently she's a tough nut to crack. I was blown away when, in her feedback and confirmation from Allen at Stage 32, she would pass on the material but give me a...

Regina's reputation is stellar. Congratulations Gary. Big score for you.
Congrats Gary!
excellent
If you were on a deserted island, who is the screenwriter you would pick to be there with you? And you don't get to pick a survivalist or boat builder. Just a another writer. I'd have to go with William Goldman. I'd love to discuss The Great Waldo Pepper with him.
It's hard to pin it down to just one. Goldman, Stone, Cameron, Whedon. They all bring something different to the table that interests me. But, if I had to pick one...probably Goldman. The Princess Bride always has me rewatching it and discovering something new.

I would go with one who understands the mythic structure.
Hey everyone! Hope your day is going absolutely wonderful! What way would you guys format an email when sending one to an Agent, Producer and or Manager to consider reading your script and or representing you?
I emailed my log log-lines and got a response, 1 out 15. Anyone can tell a story but what differentiate us from everyone is the EXECUTION.
Start by googling "Screenplay Query Letter" or similar. It will help if you can list recognition from prestigious screenwriting contests in your query letter.
Hey, you have to have 'Balls' with your Screen play. Remember, it is better than the rest.
Anyone can tell a story, EXECUTION is what set us apart from everyone.
Like starting over is now a Award winner !
Nicely done!
Awesome!
Excellent! Hello and welcome to Stage 32! Happy networking!
People that say I have a great idea and I want 50% I think are (1). These don't know that they don't know.

We can work towards being a 3. Then after being a 3 for a long time. And with plenty of practice we will become a 4. We will probably not realise it when it happens, but we will after a while. Interesting see how people self assess.
Focus is the main hurdle. But it is not impossible.
I think my work is a number 4, but the readers say its a number 2.
We grow up listening to stories everyday, different in each aspect. When you writing a script don't bombard us with details, paint, adorn the picture with your words, make us see it.
There are various reviewing/coverage services offering feed-back of various lengths(usually from 1/2 pages to 10). How many pages of review do you think can provide someone enough help? If you were running(run) such a service, how many pages(not including synopsis) would you offer in order to give a...

I fully agree with you guys. My question to you two is, how much for a single script? Since I have scripts of my own that I would like for the to be read so I can get some feedback?
Jeffrey, PM sent.
Thanks Dene. I always appreciate the support.
A pact between childhood best friends is a command, which forces them to submit support in order to remain friend.
So, there was a very lively thread a few weeks ago about a screenwriter who had completed his first screenplay and wanted to start looking for an agent. I wanted to know, if you are being totally honest and self critical, if you are ready for an agent?
I am at the 5 year mark in learning this craft,...

Hey Screenplay Mechanic, thanks for the encouraging words. I agree if I wait till I'm ready, I might just be waiting forever.
Hey Greg and Dan, those are both great pieces of advice. I'm going to start querying both producers and agents. Ten a day is very ambitious! But I will start soon.
Hey Dan, thanks never really looked at it that way as i'm also struggling to lend a agent. Will surely do from now on.

Some people say you shouldn't worry about this and it doesn't matter as long as the story is interesting, while others think doing this is wrong and you should restrain your imagination and always try to write thinking about the cost, because otherwise, your screenplay will be rejected....

My thought is this - if you're trying to break in, make a career, then focus on writing well. Write good stories, ones that tell an emotional journey. Don't think about budgets, locations, size of cas...

I've read a couple of comments from other sources they also advise that I write small scale budget films.
