Hollywood-Jumping The First Hurdle
As a screenwriter, getting your material read means maneuvering your work past the keepers of the keys to the golden gates of Hollywood, this deadly force being the professional (or not so professional) reader who has been employed (or given a free cup of coffee) to look over thousands and thousands of scripts.
Raindance Film has a course with experienced story analyst/editor James Bartlett designed to help you avoid the “Unlucky/Lucky 13,” a list of common but deadly mistakes that will automatically turn a reader off of your script. The business of script reading, differences between the US and UK film industries, as well as the ways to break into the US market will be discussed in detail. If there’s time at the end of the course, you may even be able to pitch your story ideas, Hollywood style, to James and your peers for feedback!
James Bartlett talks more about one of these deadly mistakes, writing your script as if it were a novel, in his article “Make Sure Your Script Jumps the First Hurdle” which is available here:
