Screenwriting : Deja Vu???? by Ricky Long

Ricky Long

Deja Vu????

Kind of odd how I get requested to submit material to a company that has already viewed and passed on the same material they requested to view over a month and a half ago. Makes me wonder if these people ever converse with each other... Oh well, what can it hurt to resend it, right?

Jorge J Prieto

Lol! You make a real valid point and one that raises concern, for me at least Ricky.

Intern Help is spotty.

Lorato Phefo

Just out curiosity, did the company get interested in your work from here in Stage 32? But I think you should send it again, maybe they lost it somewhere but they know how good it is.

Ricky Long

It was through Greenlightmymovie.com... I use both companies to submit.

Elisabeth Meier

Only shows WE should NEVER take a pass personal or doubt on our scripts, abilities, talent etc. Thank you for the link!

Ricky Long

That's right. I look at passes as free feedback as you get from both Stage 32 and Greenlightmymovie. Never take it personal. You can take the advice given and implement it or dismiss it. Choice is yours. I've used some advice and incorporated it into my pitches. Other advice was so bad, I laughed it off and kept it moving. In the long run, only you the screenwriter know where you want your script to go.

Patricia Poulos

Yes Ricky. Although I won't be submitting any more pitches to execs offered. I think I'll just rely on Festivals and their feedback. Although it may finish up being the same, at least you have more exposure.

Strange post. Different people have different tastes. Never, ever question a read.

Ricky Long

James, the situation itself is strange. I'm not questioning a 'read', I'm questioning a company that passed on a pitch (which was fine), but now wants me to resubmit it for consideration. I know it more than likely a different rep that wants to take a look at it, but I don't know that for sure. Bottom line is there is good feedback, great feedback, and bad feedback. Simple as that. I've had all three. It's up to you as the writer what to do with it.
