Sell your story to hollywood

"No one I know covers the spectrum of storytelling more thoroughly than my friend, Ken Atchity. As a scholar, educator, author, publisher, and film producer, Ken has been an integral part of every aspect of film producing form the inside and out. As a former Hollywood agent, studio creative executive, and independent producer of literally dozens of films, I recommend that anyone with dreams and aspirations to be part of the creative process that realizes a complete and marketed film or television program heed the absolutely accurate advice of Sell Your Story to Hollywood. And, I would add that there are literally hundreds of producers, directors, studio executives, agents, and managers looking for your story, and if it's well-presented, and by the way, brilliant, success will be acheived. Years ago, a producer friend of mine used to tell aspiring writers the story of a New York screenwriter in pre-computer days who finished his great script on a manual typewriter and in his excitement, throws it into the back seat of his VW and drives to Hollywood. As he pulls onto the Hollywood Freeway, he rolls own his car window and a gust of wind scatters the screenplay across the freeway. My producer friend then says, 'If that script is truly any goo, it will be on my desk within three days.' Buyers out there are looking for your script, but Ken's advice will get your project on the right desk without relying on magic." --Norman Stephens, Emmy and Peabody Award-winning producer, former executive at Warner Television & Village Roadshow Pictures
