Screenwriting : Lucka by Lucie Malina

Hey Lucie. Too many writers submit things that are not ready to go because they are new to writing for the screen and don't see the problems with their script. Possibly yours is brilliant but you would be the exception and not the rule. Instead, .let your script sit in your desk drawer and go off and write another script..and another.. and another because the person you pitch your idea to might not like the first two ideas and expect you to have several scripts up your sleeve. Read scripts, develop your craft. Work hard at writing and get it checked out before you send it anywhere as you will most likely only get one chance with a producer. If you give her something that is half-baked its unlikely she'll read something of yours again. All the best!

I strongly reccomend you to write a 2 page script and get friends to shoot it and edit to a final version to be shown to a public audience (even friends of friends). this way will get you clear what you write is good to read but may or may not work on screen.

Hi, Lucie Malina. What are your plans for the script?

Lucie if you've already gotten feedback & made revisions, are feeling confident, I'd start signing up for Stage 32 pitches. Against the odds, my first screenplay is with a multi-billion dollar production company right now, under consideration, following a live pitch. Doesn't hurt to pitch while you start writing script #2.
