Selling my screenplay.

[Gav82]

I have written a few screenplay and would love them looked at, how do I go about this. Thanks

Good luck!
Without giving too many details, what is the plot?

 

[EmilyWilkes]

Nice! Are you a screenwriter?

 

[Olivia Perez]

What a lovely idea! What motivated you to sell your work and not turn it into a film by yourself?

Well one I wrote is a time travel one, where a man gets sent to far into the future, and there are serious consequences.

 

[Gav82]

No, started in 2019, but finding it impossible to get anyone in the film industry to even look at any of my work.

I don't have the connection or the financial support.

Sounds like a very good SF plot! Hope you will find a buyer that will make a great movie out of it someday!

Sorry to hear that Sadly it is very hard to get noticed in this industry...especially now with the pandemic. If there were events where you can actually meet people, it would be easier but like this...it is very hard

Understandable. But don't give up, maybe one day you will make your dream come true! Maybe enter a screenwriting contest?

My best advice is to simply make the film yourself, budget or no budget. If you’re creative enough there’s always a solution for doing it yourself on a low budget.

Very cool idea, to offer your screenplay to someone. once I saw some independent film production companies, where directly on their website, screenwriters could offer a demo of their screenplay, and they would decide if they will purchase it or not. But I guess that now, you would need to make a huge online-research looking out for such companies. Especially for those, who are still "alive" and active in those post-pandemic times.

Here are a few to get started with. It's good practice/exercise to start.

Don't forget to do your due diligence and do your part to check their submission guidelines and requirements. Be respectful of their time.

Be sure to check and read what specifically they are accepting, (for example, full scripts, pitches (word count/length), accepting only synopsis or treatment, representation needed or not needed, etc.).

As you do your own research, and if you come across companies accepting scripts, let us know what you find, and share it here!
