    A Screenwriter Describes His First 2 Years in the Business

    If you've never heard of Jake Thornton, that's okay. He's new.

    He's never had his name on a feature film playing at your theater, but he's sold scripts, he's been a jobbing screenwriter for two years, and he's hopeful for a bright future of working his ass off.

    To celebrate the anniversary of his big regulation size break, Thornton went on an epic Twitter rant (with a lot of rave in it) to make sense of his experience with agents, producers, spec scripts and side jobs teaching old ladies how to use Apple computers. It's both a personal inventory of failures and wound-salving successes, as well as an act of laying bread crumbs on an invisible path for those aspiring to be where he's at.
