For an unknown screenwriter landing an agent or manager seems impossible, what is the thoughts or experiences from anyone who has submitted, to open submissions like Amazon Studios? Is it any good or are there better avenues?
Amazon is a free submission, but they are run like disney or Warner, a studio. Amazon doesn't have a track record of producing specs off a server.
Best avenue is meeting writers, actors and filmmakers. They're your first and future allies. go to Sundance or SXSW film festival. Both are casual environments working/unemployed folks.
When I was looking for representation I called literary agencies from a WGA list I happened to come across. I eventually got one. Like everything else in this stupid business, it takes time.
