I have written my entire story I’ve been working on for 6 years I just need connections. I want nothing more than my characters to see them on the big screen
Thanks for the information. You didn't just talk around the subject like a lot of creatives do and never really telling what is required and providing examples.
@@vincentb1069 I discovered it would be better if I got a manager instead of an agent. A manager has more pull and access than an agent does. That's the rout I'm taking.
Hello! We recommend to give a smaller pitch vs. an extended one that gives the exec an overall picture without having to detail the plot. If you focus more on characters, theme, and the journey, you'll see better results. Best of luck!
Thanks for all the great info, but I have a problem putting fresh new ideas and stuff out, because there are thousands of none creative people (in the industry) just waiting to rip it off. Dealt with this in the art industry and it happens all the time.
Hi Lucus, sorry to hear that you have encountered those who have used your creative ideas. Our best advice would be to really do the research on companies before you share your screenplays with them. Hope that helps and happy writing!
That sucks. I am working on several ideas. First thing I did was register the idea with WGA and also had it copyrighted. I also created a three-issue comic book at the same time I wrote the screenplay. I did this before sharing with my friends, etc. I only shared with friends who liked comics. I was selective. Now I am also looking into other avenues like cartoons, etc. Get your work published first as a comic, graphic novel, or short story before doing anything else, so those jerks cannot rip you off. It's more protected this way.
Hi Cole! As Julien mentioned in the video, a lot of networks unfortunately do not accept unsolicited material. We recommend working toward trying to attract and agent or manager first who can submit your project. More helpful ways in which you can do so are on our website!
Its like the whole system is designed to keep new writers OUT! Networks/production co's wont accept unsolicited scripts - get an agent we are told - agents wont accept you as an un produced writer. Its a vicious circle that is VERY hard to break.
What if when you share it with people, they steal your idea and sell it before you do, to make a profit for themselves? How do you copy protect your new show idea?😳
Hey I’m the writer director and a character in a tv show I’m trying to figure out how to get on Netflix or adult swim I just dont wanna put money into this show and no money comes back
Hi Zany, we understand your concern. Our suggestion is to continue to put your passion on the page and do your research of the production companies you'd like to pitch to. It's all about putting yourself and your ideas out there!
Unless I missed it. Nowhere in the video did you mention copyrighting the screenplay BEFORE you submit it to ANYONE. If I missed that I apologize. There are ways of getting your screenplay copyrighted. PROTECT YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY!
It depends what country you live in, as copyright is different from country to country. For example copyright in Australia is automaticly protected and no further action is nessasary, BUT adding your name, copyright symbol, date created and sending copies to other people as witness will help protect your work. Purchasses to protect copyright can help but is not nessasary in Australia.
Hi I'm Seth and im making a superhero fighting smash bros like fighting game called xenomon my game plan for my game Xenomon no shortcuts just effort You know I want a game deployment team that can help me with the art and the test the game and the scripts
hi Seth, if you'd like a professional to give you feedback on your script, we recommend you purchase our classic feature coverage www.scriptreaderpro.com/feature-script-coverage/
This is legit not helpful at all 80% of this is just “be professional” ya no shit Sherlock The only reason I’m here is to try and find out how to hire a agent that has ties to Netflix, Hulu or HBO because without that you can’t even pitch your story or animated show so this should have been listed as STEP 1!!
Take a breath next time. You would be better off speaking at a slower, easier pace. This is such a barrage of info you cannot possibly take it all in without pausing and replaying over and over.
Then instead of controlling how someone speaks? Hit "pause" on your end. Then replay as YOU need. I prefer the pace here. Some of the pace comes from regional standards. Slower than this pace? I would skip it. It's easier for you to pause ⏸

Hi Felix, thanks for the kind feedback. Be sure to check out our other videos on how to sell your screenplay!
This is by far the most informative video I've seen on the subject. Thanks.
Have you found an agent?
That's great!
@@vincentb1069 Unfortunately, no. It's more difficult than I thought.
@@MaxxDoberman Do you want to exchange information by any chance. I’m also looking for an agent. And if one of us finds one we can tell the other one

Copyright is only as good as the money you have to enforce it. First thing I learned on the subject. Its wrong but true.
