Looking to collaborate on making films which enrich and deepen the human experience
My name is Chris Wolff. I am 25 years old and I am looking to break i to the film business on the road of a career of enormous acclaim and success. I am tired of cliched, formulaic stories being told instead of ones that are fresh and original. If I ever get to make movies I would do what I can to make other writers dreams come true as well.
I am an aspiring screenplay writer, with zero connections to the film industry. I am confident I have what it takes and have written a few screenplays, completed one, wich I focused on the most, and registered it with the US Copyright office, as I was advised. I've tried contacting several producers...

I am confident I have what it takes and have written a few screenplays, completed one, wich I focused on the most, and registered it with the US Copyright office, as I was advised. I've tried contacting several producers and celebrities in order to get them to even read my screenplay, but I have had no luck. My biggest dream is to see my screenplay produced into a movie, however I've been hitting lots of dead ends and I don't know what else to do. Can anyone help me make my dream come true?
Sounds like a lot of good advice for you Victor.
There is a world of opinions on this route, but I think you should get a Blcklst.com evaluation. They will be real with you. Many other places to go for feedback, but for $50 and the level of professionalism, Blcklst is the best.
I second pretty much everything said here. Keep writing. Enter your screenplay in contests or have it evaluated. The indy route is probably your best bet. What kind of screenplay is it? Can it be made...
Expand commentI second pretty much everything said here. Keep writing. Enter your screenplay in contests or have it evaluated. The indy route is probably your best bet. What kind of screenplay is it? Can it be made on a small budget? Contests and coverage can cost money. If you're on a tight budget you can ask the people in your S32 network if they'd like to take a look at it. Just be aware that they may not have as much experience as a professional script reader, so take their feedback with a grain of salt. Most importantly read produced screenplays. This offers great insight into industry standards. Good luck!

Independent, however, will be the first way to get my foot in the door. I have a screenplay titled LOST TRAVELS that I am trying to find a studio nearby my hometown to get funding, but I cannot seem to find one. What should I do?
