I'm a screen writer and I have all sort of scripts?!


Question: It would be awesome for someone to consider making an actual movie from one of my scripts but, I don't have the slightest idea how to submit them? or who to submit them to?

any advice?

You've got to get an agent first, preferably one in Hollywood. The big ones are CAA and William Morris. There are more like Endeavour but try and get in with the big ones especially CAA.

You send them a query first introducing yourself and asking if they would like to read your script and a short logline what it's about and any writing experience you have. If they would like to read your script then post it to them

Make sure you mail to specific agents. If you don't know any agents, find the names of those who represent the big ones like Spielberg and co.

If an agent accepts you, then they shop your scripts around hollywood studios and talent - actors, directors etc. It's likely it will get bought. Because if an agent from a big firm takes the risk to represent you then chances are it will get sold.

But once again all this is pointless if you don't have a great script or two. Make your screenplay great first and all the rest follows naturally.

Regardless of what people tell you, Hollywood still buys spec scripts from unknowns. There's one crime movie screenplay sold recently by an unknown guy that Ridley Scott and DiCaprio are making. So don't lose hope. I'm a big believer that great stories find their way to a film camera sooner or later.

Basically what Shanghai Joe said :D
Look at Diablo Cody for Juno she won hoards of awards including oscar gold for her VERY FIRST screenplay!
I hope to be a screenplay writer also some day Good Luck!
