  • Script Location

    Hi, all DDP's. Just had an idea for a new spec script and was wondering if you thought the location was important. I was going to set it in England but started having second thoughts about the location not being somewhere in the US. Do you think potential managers prefer scripts set in the USA? Maybe an easier sell? Since it's early days for this idea I could go either way on location and just wondered if anyone with a manager could tell me if this matters to them. Thanks.

    Re: Script Location

    Choose the best location for the story. Reps aren't going to shy away purely because they don't like England over the U.S.

    If anything, some U.S. locations are so well-trodden they could potentially hinder the appeal of your work more than an overseas setting. For instance, too many writers pick NYC or LA for no reason other than lack of creativity.
