I posted a video on my YouTube channel and in it I mentioned that it's important to try to keep your screenplay within the 90-100 mark so producers will be more likely to read it. This is more of a preferential thing for me as I tend to write as tersely as possible.
Then someone claiming to have sold scripts to Ben Affleck comments saying that your script should be AT LEAST 110 pages or no one will look at it. Even going as far to say that if it's 109 pages you should find a way to make it 110, otherwise it will be a pass as it's harder to find distribution apparently.
Quote:
"90-100 pages will be rejected out of hand by any studio, producer, agent, manager. It's considered far too short. Gotta hit that 110 mark. If I was at 109 I'd do some spacing cheats to get to 110."
I find this a little hard to believe, but now I'm curious if there's any truth to it at all. Anyone have any facts to back this up? Thanks.
