Screenwriting : Period pieces by Julia Loh

Period pieces

Would it be wise for a new screenwriter to write a period piece since they are generally more expensive to make and therefore making it extremely difficult for the screenwriter to sell his script?

I think you should have 3 scripts to give out. When you talk to an agent or producer they're gonna want to know what other type of work you have. That's when you should reveal your period piece. For your first try I think you should try to write something that will win at Sundance so you can make a reputation and voice for yourself. A character driven piece
