Screenwriting Tips

Here are some screenwriting tips… But I don’t think you’ll like them.

Quit asking permission. Production is less expensive. Start producing.
Start with genres that sell. Horror. Women in peril. Girl with a horse story.
Relationships are everything. Not in LA? Then attend major film festivals.
There are contests. Most suck. Some are good. At lease you get read.
Cold call filmmakers. You will be surprised how accessible they are.

If you start thinking and acting like an entrepreneurial screenwriter, you will be amazed how many people will start to take you seriously. Of course, a large majority of screenwriters will think these ideas are bonkers. And if you think I’m bonkers, then please ignore me and keep writing query letters to screenwriting agents.

But if you’re willing to go the distance, then do whatever it takes to get your work on the screen. If this means you grab a camera and make a dozen, 2 minute movies for YouTube – At least you’re doing something. And in my very humble opinion, it is far more valuable to get small projects produced than to put your work in a dark drawer, only to never be seen.
