So I posted a discussion on the Screenwriting lounge on "Need an Agent", but that wasn't a discussion, I really need an agent to help me get my scripts published in Hollywood, and since I failed with all of the contest entries and the pass pitches I pitched to, I want to know if I send my scripts to...

I tagged my writing style as “Eric Roth,” it made me laugh a little to myself.
I wanted to tag Caroline Thompson, (as well) but she wasn’t on there:
Anybody else got material in there?
I signed up for Rockstar status, what’s the stage 32 writing room — and how do I join it?
The Stage 32 Writers Room is like a more intense level of Stage 32 membership with an exclusive forum, webinars, pitch sessions, and more. As a Rockstar member on Script Revolution, you can go to your...

Brett Osaka It's a bit biased I suppose, but I'm a member of the Writers' Room and I really love it - it's been great for me, and aside from the general community of Stage32, it's really helped me wit...

So You guys heard trying to find an agent to help get my scripts published.
I am so desperate here. I really need help from the Stage32 community. If anyone has any connections with an agent who has connections with big Hollywood movie and TV studios please comment and leave his or her contact information.
If you're lucky, you'll sell your first script for peanuts, but in reality you'll do a deferred payment with a producer and/or director just starting out like you. From there, you'll most likely do th...

They steal and get punished... Many here will ask what they must achieve and why.
A rocky ride through a Stonehenge portal, results in the theft of advanced technology, then WANTS/NEEDS of the scientists.

In the 1970s, a half-wit motocross champion navigates the highs and lows, as he goes from winning medals in Vietnam to the new sport of Supercross, proving doubter wrong, and proving with hard work anything is possible.

Expand commentBrett Osaka I use a empathy matrix. I answer (make dot points) under these four topics.
What has she heard?
What does she hear from her people, news, tv, radio. What messages is she exposed to in her life.
What has she said?
What has she articulated when talking to people. What views has she expressed in her life.
What has she done?
What actions has she done previously, did she marry young etc. People tend to have patterns and repeat behaviour.
What is her environment?
Where does she live, what is her economic state, etc.
Answering these enables me to build up empathy and an outstanding understanding of the character. Once I have that I can write them with confidence.

Expand commentSteven, just keep honing your craft. The more you write, the better you get. Never stop learning (see the Stage32 webinars) and get feedback from friends and colleagues. Rewrite, edit, do a page one, build promo materials (one-sheets, pitch decks, look books) for your projects. The more projects the better. If, after all that, you still aren't getting picked up, then go make the movies yourself! You can and should be pitching to managers and producers (not agents). Do your research first and make sure you're pitching to a company that wants your genre. Goood Luck! Keep wriitng!
