Though I have representation, I put two of my original scripts on the Black List to see if it could be another viable tool. One of the scripts was a small strange fantasy script which both readers disliked, and in my opinion didn't understand... maybe my fault for writing such a strange script.... but my manager loves it, so we'll go from there...
The other was a very big broad commercial comedy... that got 8's and one 9, a few downloads, and... just got optioned by a company that has made and distributed eight films in the last three years, some of them very successful. They found it on the Black List and contacted me. My manager handled the option negotiations, which ended up being a more than a month long. And today, we both signed them.
Good deal for them. Good deal for me. Now... on to rewrites.
