Hi, I've recently been approached by a trainee agent at CAA who after seeing a short film of mine on youtube asked for material sending through.
Trouble is I've been reading up on how much the spec script market is in the dog house and I'm wondering if this will work out.
I know I should try anyway but I don't know what to expect.
UTA is a massive agency but is that enough to sell a script should they get behind it?
Isn't that only the first step with the rest relying on the hope that a studio may or may not be interested in it.
I always thought once an agent has your script and champions to sell it that's it, it's as good as in, although this may now not be the case.
This agent is prepared to evaluate and critique too he seems very keen on forging this relationship but has assured me that unless it sells they cannot represent me and as I have said that seems like a super slim chance after reading that only about 62 spec scripts a year are sold and that it is totally right script, right time.
What is the situation I am facing? I'd really appreciate some advice.
