Everyone is talking about rejecting, rejecting and rejecting. What I think is it is the so called agents who are making a big mistake. In fact they are missing lot of movie stuff with real potential by pretending that they are the ' lords' who control the industry. Why don't they create an ambiance where budding writers can come up with their works and be given a chance of presenting it? Filter the works and take the good stuff from the lot.
Remember, even the most popular filmmakers have eventually turned in to big zeros.
I am not putting out a checklist. But it is a reality. So, instead of putting ads to sell some crap books on selling screenplays, create open spaces where real talents can come up with their ideas.

I'm writing like a high school love story script.

I would certainly appreciate an e-mail copy of your list of agents who handle horror scripts. Writing a good script is hard, but finding a good agent interested in horror is even harder. Thanks in advance.

Some of the people here are kind of pathetic. Try getting rejection letters for FIVE straight years without one positive response. You can't ever give up.

For those looking for agents, look in the "Script Agent" of the 'Guide to Literary Agents'. Also, check 'Writer's Market'. Both books should be in your local library.

Don't even consider pitching to an agent unless you have already written the script. Everybody has an "idea that would make a blockbuster movie" but very few can actually deliver. Take some screenwriting classes. Read screenwriting books. Sharpen your skills before you embarking on the task. Realize that you WILL get rejected, and probably a lot. That is one fact I can already guarantee.

By the way, Alford Percy, I don't mean to be critical, but your story sounds like thousands of others I've heard before. You have to make it more unique. Also, your logline is a little long. Try to trim it down and add some more power-punches. Believe it or not, studio execs don't like to read. So get to the point fast, in a short and sweet fashion. I like to use the "drive-by rule." If it the logline is too long to yell out the car window as pass someone, it needs to be adjusted. That's just some advice.

Oh, I don't mean to brag, but I am only 18 years old. I have written a 120-page screenplay titled 'Heaven'. Surprisingly, I've had some strong interest. Three out of the past four reviews have been positive. I just picked up a few sponsors who will pay for me to enter screenplay competitions (which are expensive by the way).

Here's my logline:
"Love pushes one man to the limits. He commits suicide on the day of his dream girl's wedding."

See what I mean by being concise? My logline is straight to the point. It doesn't beat around the bush. Loglines and query letters take a LOT of practice. It took me three years before I was able to "master" a query letter guaranteed to get an interested response. And even then, there are no real guarantees of that response being positive. Most of my recent rejections have come from agencies that have full client lists already.

Just keep that in mind and don't take rejection personal.

I'm barely started writing my first screenplay, but i have no idea what a query is, i'm only 19, and i need alot of help on doing everything necessary to get my screen play looked at, i didn't even know what a logline was until i was reading other peoples moviepals_comments, so i'm going to pitch my logline....which i'm barely making up right now and give me advice.

Logline: After seeing his rich father murdered, a young male is subjected to the harsh realities of his new socioeconomic level. Growing up in the worst part of town, filled with gangbangers and crooks, his own mother a druggie, will he be able to overcome the destiny projected to him by his peers, or will he give in and........Dance With the Devil.

thanks to anyone that replies.

I need an agent for my screenplays. i've got alot, but i need Agents. How can i get one? I got all sort of gneres.

I am a new screenwriter, trying to jump on the scene. The problem is getting into the door of reputable producers and taking off. Check out my Logline to the first comedy I have ever wrote. I love this blog so much, thought I leave it behind, Real producers, dedproduct.com is where I write till the films leave the ground, and begin flying to God.
Logline: A comedic twist of fate occurs when a man
late for work sees the biggest heist in history, and a
twist of fate drives him to help police capture the
robbers who did it.

I have 2 movie script help me ! ! !! ! ! ! ! ! ! Thank you,

Interesting, Solomon. I had a similar experience when I sent a pitch to Icon Productions. While the rejection wasn't the news I wanted, I felt excited because I had (at the least) gotten my idea to the right address. I kept that wonderful rejection with the Icon letterhead. It's a reminder of how close I came and to never give up trying.

I've been writing for about 6 yrs, but I'm still learning the ropes. I've discovered that most newbies are less likely to get a script into an agents hands because agents work primarilly with writers who have already established themselves in the craft (i.e., plays, TV scripts). What we want is a Script or Screenplay Manager. In my research I've discovered that there are several sites that offer new writers an opportunity to not only have a script evaluated, but to possibly sell it to a studio. One such site is Evatopia.com. I'm still trying to learn what I can about the organization. but if someone already knows, then any input would be great.

Thanks for your great info. I have two film scripts ready for any interested producers. And I want find a good agent to represent my work. Knidly send me a list of some of the agents you think are good.

I need to find an agent for my script of somebody to read my script...can somebody help me in anyway

GOOD INFO IM IN THE PROCESS NOW OF ALL THE THINGS YOU MENTIONED AND HAVE GOT BACK 3 REJECTION LETTERS, WHICH LIKE YOU SAID GIVES HOPE.

I'm on the "pitch and submit" stage. I wrote several screenplays and sent query letters to agents that received them. I gotta get the letters ready for snail mail submissions. Then I gotta print out three copies of each individual screenplay to send out to those agencies that actually take screenplay submissions. Phew! Lotta work and little costs here and there.
