Screenwriting : If you sent the wrong script....... by Katherine De Bois

Katherine De Bois

If you sent the wrong script.......

Hypothetically if you were stupid enough to send a raw, ( AND I MEAN RAW) draft to a producer here who requested your script, would you pay to pitch the same person again, and this time hope they request it and you send the correct one........or is that wasting their time and perhaps breaking some industry behavior code?

Dan Guardino

Why not just contact the producer and tell them you accidentally sent them an old draft and send them the one you intended to send. There would be nothing wrong with doing that.

Maló Polite Xavier

I agree with @Dan. Given that it is common to have a lot of drafts in the folder during the writing process I would feel no shame. But send him/her another email with a the last draft.

Jerry Robbins

I did that once, and as Dan and Malo suggested, I contacted them and sent the correct version - they were fine with it. Mistakes happen.

Erik A. Jacobson

We're human. We make mistakes. The producer will understand.

Katherine De Bois

Nick Assunto - Stage 32 Script Services Coordinator yes I understand. That's why I was asking whether I should organise another pitch ( through here lol) just to be able to explain.

Ewan Dunbar

Contact Nick and go from there. If you have made a mistake it is better to get it fixed as soon as you notice it.

Is there a way to delete a wrong file in the submission process; sent before it was due but instead of the two page synopsis it's an entire script?
