Hi! I just finished writing my first spec script, an episode of 2 Broke Girls for class :) I'm studying screenwriting to learn how to write a film about my father's experience living in hiding as a child in Nazi occupied France. I didn't realize how emotionally demanding this type of work is, so I'm balancing out with my own version of Half-Baked II. Talk about a dichotomy! I would love to know more about the industry, what screenplay readers look for, and I'm going to need an agent- someone can take good care of my dad's movie and put it in the right hands. Best of luck to all! It's a fun, scary, and exciting journey :)

Welcome to Stage 32, Esther. I feel your pain in writing such a personal story, I did the same with my first adult screenplay, but it was worth it. Everyone here is great, so if you have questions, just start a thread or head over to happy writers where you will find education and pitching advice to agents and executives. See you in the lounges.
