Writing

It’s a business of fear. That’s why it’s so easy to say no.

A writer, who is trying to sell a script, or a movie director, or even a producer have to learn to pitch their projects.

Most studios require an agent in order to read a screenplay. That’s their way to protect themselves. They have libraries of unread scripts, so they don’t want to waste their time on new ones. Unless there’s a name attached.

It’s almost impossible to find an agent, if nothing you have written has been produced or published yet. Publishing is another way to get through. A bestseller novel has more chanced to be sold for movie adaptation.
