Re: Why I Hate Script Contests And So Should You

So Stage 32's isn't worth the entry fee?

I had to block e-mails from that site a few months back because they were inundating me with pitch sales slots! Writers can pay to pitch to a producer,...

How much do TV programmes sell for?

Finding figures to estimate a film's expected gain isn't too difficult - I could get a rough idea based on genre, budget and star/s (or lack of) for all of the major territories, but I can't seem to...

Re: What's holding you back?

The sheer drudgery of sending query letters (especially when I seriously doubt anyone will ever reply) gets a gold star in laziness.

Spending too long trying to find a manager only to realise that...

Re: Help with some addys please!!!

e-mail addresses for Lisa Callamaro Lit. aren't listed on IMDbPro; does this mean that they're not open to new writers or simply that IMDbPro doesn't have the info?

Any e-mails for Lisa Callamaro...

Re: Screenwriter sues popular producer and loses

Right, gotcha.

An NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) is a business contract which prevents exactly what it sounds like: talking about whatever project/s were mentioned in the NDA.

Sorry for...

Re: Screenwriter sues popular producer and loses

Yes, my apologies, I read this first reply as the producer being the female in question and then the response under the same illusion.

Okay, so it's since been cleared up: a writer pitches for an...

Re: Reps that don't dig your work

I've asked this before, but I got mixed results. I also feel that the question is appropriate now for the OP:

Is it better to mention the previous rep' in queries, and if so, what do you write...

Re: Option advice please

^Great post.

Seriously, if someone came up to you and said, "Hey, you're a great lawyer, how about you come and work for my company for six months, completely unpaid," how would you reply?

Re: Screenwriter sues popular producer and loses

I'm not trying to derail the thread with a n00b question, but how does making the producers sign a non-disclosure agreement play into all this?

What really stumped me was how you all made it seem...

Re: Producer attachment request. Should I?

Man, I hope that this doesn't become normal - it's bad enough with manque producers posing as managers to get free access to scipts that they can then attach themselves to as producers if and when...

Re: 9/10 on Blacklist with three 10/10 subscores: How can I maximize myself in 2016?

Congratulations on the high score - definitely use it as a calling card!

I've never used the Blacklist myself, but despite a lot of...

Re: Strange feedback

Apologies for the belated response.

To be honest, I don't write comedies so I can't advise on them too much. It could be that the 120 page thing was a polite excuse, but take a look at some...

Re: Strange feedback

Firstly, you were lucky to get set up with that dude, so don't burn any bridges - you should have more than one script and an idea based on a IP you don't own anyway.

120 pages?
Well, to be honest,...

Re: What to do when reps won't take our your projects?

See, this is what's getting me: should I write in my queries that I was repped by - I'd rather not mention because of the bad experience - or name the manager?

In my latest query draft, I wrote...

Re: Smart Entertainment

Up to you. A lot of "managers" seem to only be in it to play producer (not giving their clients any option deal in the process), so trying to find people who genuinely want to make money from the...

Re: Point agent

Does both mean giving up 20% in stead of 10, or would you be signed to both but whoever gets you the job gets the cut?

As a writer, that would be ideal... but I'm pretty sure it won't work out that...

Re: What to do when reps won't take our your projects?

Re: A question about police leave

Thanks.
I really couldn't find anything to do with suggested or forced leave, and whether or not it would be full or reduced pay, but I got around it all anyway.

Re: I need a lawyer

Congratulations thus far, please keep us apprised.

I have to admit though, as a big fan of Asian cinema, did you have to get your script translated before you sent it out?
