    First steps to pitching/selling a screenplay?

    Thank you for taking the time to read and respond. I have learned a lot from my short time on this site. I think I will mostly go the route of contests. I will definitely have a few people that have more experience read it for me before I start pushing it. Thanks again, Brian

    A total no-no?

    Ray, Yes, I am writing the screenplay for someone else to produce, this is true. I guess the part where you mentioned being in attendance for a conference is the answer to my question. I was hoping to at least be able to plead my case. I do understand copyrights on music, songs, etc..at...

    A total no-no?

    That makes sense. I guess I will have to put my attachment aside, damnit! Maybe I will be lucky enough to deal with people who will let me make a case...is that reasonable?

    A total no-no?

    I am about half way through my first ever screenplay. My question is...how big of a no-no is it to recommend certain songs to be played at certain parts in my film? As a lifelong musician, I feel a huge attachment to placing certain songs with certain parts. However, I have heard that this...

    Advice for a Musician?

    Here's a sample of something I wrote a couple weeks back...it's clearly a basement recording. I hope you can see through the one-take wonder style recording process, and that you like the writing style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsbl4FLWZPU Thanks!

    Advice for a Musician?

    Hi all, I have been a musician for a long time and I am interested in getting some music into films. I mainly write folky type acoustic songs, but I am willing to take a crack at writing a song for a specific scene or movie. I really don't care about profiting from my work at this point, it...
