"Your screenplay will NEVER sell... do you want to know why?"
Just saw some people talking about how true this is over at the Screenwriter Goldmine forum I check on from time to time.
http://olamfilm.blogspot.com/2012/03...ll-do-you.html Pretty up front about how tough it is to sell material. And he's right. We are never taught what to write. At least I wasn't. Not once at the B.A. or M.F.A. level. Damn. D. |

I feel like I've wasted 5 minutes of my life reading that.

Lame... Guy needs to walk it off. Success isn't easy in any industry. Two surgeons - equally adept in their field - one rises above the other and why...? More than likely, he had something the other didn't. Thought outside the box, had a higher work rate, better people skills in interviews... Point is, screenwriting's HARD but it's not out there on its own, separate from other careers. As Churchill once said "Success requires one to fail. Get back up... And then fail again..."

Re: "Your screenplay will NEVER sell... do you want to know why?"
sorry chief,
your account and this post are pure internet marketing spam. A new new member here linking to a new blog with a video promoting a book followed up with a link to amazon.com with an affiliate link.

Re: "Your screenplay will NEVER sell... do you want to know why?"
Out of curiousity has anyone read the book he's promoting?
Has some good reviews on amazon, just wondering if anyone's read it. |

Well, it's kind of obvious, isn't it? Write something commercial and it might sell. Write something not commercial and it probably won't sell. Hollywood is a business, after all.

I don't see why this is any more a waste of time than any other screenwriting advice online.

AMAZING! This guy's cracked the secret Hollywood code!
So... how many scripts has he sold? IMDB credits?
