Kennedy, I had my screenplay moved forward in an Open Writing Assignment a couple weeks ago. If you don't already belong, you might consider joining the Writer's Room to avail Open Writing Assignments. And the way it works is S32 is in full support of the WGA strike, but producers ask S32 for a genre specific scripts that will not be sent to the producer until after the strike, so does not cross or scab picket lines. On the side, the Library of Congress gives us screenwriters much more bang for the buck than the WGA registration. It's more expensive initially, but you get much more protection and much more assistance from the LOC than the WGA would provide if someone tries to steal your script, and it is far less expensive in the long run, for the WGA registration expires I think after five years, whereas a LOC registration lasts for 70 years. I do both.
