@William82oct There is a very good trick that I have learned and it has worked wonders with getting my things read. I make a DVD of myself telling a little bit about the book and script. You have to be able to sell your work by the mouth before you can sell it by written word. The DVD needs to be the next generation way to submit anything. I write how long the dvd is and that they should watch it first. The agents love to b able to sit down and watch or even listen to a dvd while multitasking.

How often should you copyright your work as you are making modifications to it?

For example you copyright your work and show it to someone. This person gives you advise on how to improve it, so you make changes to the dialogue and the way in which the action is written. The story, characters and the way in which the story unfolds has not been changed, but only the way in which you have written it.

Would this warrant a new copyright?

@xenablake1 Basicly do your research on what genra your script is, e.g. horror, gore etc, find a studio that tends to lean towards those, its pointless going to a studio that does Drama/romance and give them a horror script.

oh thank you for that big advice

[xenablake1]

i have an agent and i have movie ideas so what should i really do, this doesnt make any sense what you said

[HomieErectus]

this was the worst if not zero advice on how to break your script into a "Studio". Good advice, just go get an agent, like that is easy, right?
