How To Write A Screenplay
{ 3 comments… read them below or add one }
What genres are you seeking?
I have at least 26 different screenplays, which most are completed and registered. I would like to know how to get those to producers who are looking? I work a nine to five and cannot afford “programs” or the fees that people offer to help you find a producer and/or director. I have great ideas and would like for them to be seen and read. Thanks.
After graduating Villanova University with a degree in Economics, I moved to Chicago and studied film at Chicago Filmmakers. I wrote directed and produced my first film ONE BAD MICE-Winner Best Teen Pick Bare Bones Film Festival.
The film is available to view on http://www.spike.com or I can mail you a DVD copy. The trailer is on Youtube.com under ONE BAD MICE TRAILER and I have 2 songs from the film under ONE BAD MICE MUSIC.
ONE BAD MICE was made for $50,000 in 21 days.
Then I concentrated on writing and had some success with HELLSTER Inc-semi finals in the EXTREME SCREENWRITING CONTEST 2007 & quarter finals of the STORY PROS screenwriting contest 2008 under ACTION.
Then another success with DRIFTWOOD, it made the first round in the Filmmakers International Screenwriting contest 2008.
Below are more log lines for scripts I have written.
