Thanks Filman. Good luck with your project!

THANK YOU for the heads up! I have corrected it in the OP. You're awesome!

Thanks for listening! :)

Hey All, If you happen to be looking for a manager, I recently interviewed two of them for my podcast and at the end of their respective interviews, both managers mentioned they would be happy to read queries and questions from Scripts & Scribes listeners. They’re both legit managers with...

The final four loglines are up, judged by lit managers Ava Jamshidi and Adam Kolbrenner. http://www.scriptsandscribes.com/2015/04/logline-madness-finalfour/

^ I like DR's explanation much better than my own. Step 2 is the key.

We've been hard at work on the third season of the Scripts & Scribes podcast and have some new ones up! The latest, uploaded today is with Lit Manager/Producer and Madhouse Entertainment co-founder, Adam Kolbrenner. http://www.scriptsandscribes.com/2015/04/podcast-adam-kolbrenner/ Adam talks...

Yes and no. The problem with trying to write with current trends is, they can often be over before you go to market with your own. That being said, doing a little research isn't a bad idea, but in my opinion, the best writing will come from a story that you truly want to tell, not that is...

Sorry I don't have any THE WALKING DEAD scripts for you, but I wanted to interject. THE WALKING DEAD is adapted from a comic book by Robert Kirkman. The original writer who developed it in 2010 is Frank Darabont. Darabont was nominated for his first Oscar in 1994 for THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION...

As a former story analyst/studio reader and agency assistant I concur with most of the responses here. under 80 is too short. There's not likely enough here for a film or it's mostly action, limited dialogue. Very rarely are feature length scripts ever this short. 80-90 is light. Might be ok...

I like Stephanie Palmer and she generally has good information and advice. But I disagree that querying is useless. I have spoken with and interviewed dozens of managers and they all sometimes look at queries (less so agents). Is it a long shot? Yes. Do you increase your odds by winning the...

We only list the readers that we get a ton of recommendations for the benefit of our readers (the writers themselves). We don't sell or offer any of their services. Their prices and resume are listed on the site for convenience. You would need to contact them directly to inquire their...

You've gotten a lot of responses (of which I'm not going to read all of them before commenting) so you've obviously touched on something here. What I will say is: 1) Yes, the odds of success are low. But if someone has a passion for it, who am I to stop them? And if they truly do have a...

I have a few readers listed on my site that get great feedback from our readers. http://www.scriptsandscribes.com/script-coverage-services/ We don't get paid to endorse them at all. They are simply the best referrals from other screenwriters we know. They're all independent and not...

In today's marketplace, you should write a spec script because you have a passion for screenwriting and a story that you feel needs to be told. You shouldn't write a spec with the sole intention of selling it as you'll likely be disappointed if it doesn't (and most don't). While I certainly...

I do think this one is better, but a few suggestions in your choice of words. Using "ex-criminal" and "old crime-buddies" is using "crime" twice in the logline. Perhaps you can change one to "ex-felon","ex-convict", "old partners", "former accomplices", etc. Or perhaps something like, "A...

It's all subjective. One reader, albeit a fairly experienced one, seemed to believe your protagonist is rich and therefore not relatable. I didn't feel that way myself personally. What I was a little confused about was when you described him as an "exceptionally smart" rock musician. Unless...

If anyone entered the logline contest or is just curious about it, the first round results for the comedy bracket are out now. http://www.scriptsandscribes.com/2015/03/logline-madness-round-1-comedy/ Wed, Thurs and Fri we'll release the other first round bracket results, with round 2 over the...

It’s that time of year – March Madness! In honor of everyone’s favorite annual basketball tournament, Scripts & Scribes is having our own version – S&S Logline Madness! We’re going to be taking logline submissions, both feature and TV in numerous genres (listed below), and have them judged by a...

I've found a helpful way to think about this is, to consider that your screenplay is an instruction manual (as well as a story, of course) that different departments in production will use to determine what their specific needs are. For example, if there are four actors exiting a car, the...
