There's a nasty secret about the film business nobody wants you to know.

And that is....

There’s nobody stopping you. Read that again.

There’s NOBODY stopping you.

Newbie screenwriters think industry insiders spend countless hours coming up with diabolical ways to keep them out. 

“We'll make them send query letters on embossed letterhead we never read.”

“We’ll make them buy hundred-dollar memberships to industry-endorsed networks we never visit.”

“We’ll make them enter contests nobody on earth actually pays attention to…Wha-Ha-ha!”

Are you kidding? They want you. 

Like a Kardashian sister in search of the paparazzi, the film biz desperately wants to “discover” your awesome, amazing script and help you cultivate your talent into an unstoppable force of story awesomeness.

It’s because they get credit for DISCOVERING you. 

They don’t get bonus points for hiring Steve Zallian or Eric Roth.

They don't get a corner office for buying another Christopher Nolan “vehicle.”

They don't get a better table at The Ivy because they signed on for “Fast and Furious Part 10: More Furiousness.”

“I Coulda Been a Contender”

Studio executives and agents and producers ASCEND the Hollywood hierarchy ladder if they discover the next Diablo Cody. The next Alexander Payne. 

The next...you!

When they do that, they get a promotion. 

But to get discovered...

To sell your screenplay for $500,000 and have expensive lunches in Century City and buy overpriced Italian sports cars and date super models named Ivanka....
