Is there a list of managers/agents out there anywhere? Script is done and I’ve entered a few contests. Now looking for representation. Thx.
Hi Everyone. I have another question that the answer doesn't seem to be easily found by Google. I have some dialogue in my script that will be in a texting format but I would like a voiceover to each text. Am I correct doing it this way?
MARIA (TEXT WITH V.O.)
Blah, blah, blah.

ANGELA (TEXT WITH V.O.)
Blah, blah.
OR
MARIA (TEXT V.O.)
Blah, blah, blah
ANGELA (TEXT V.O.)
Blah, Blah
First option, second option or something totally different?
Thank you in advance.

How long should a logline be? Thank you in advance.
As long as it delivers on world, tone, situation of the lead character, teases the journey and stakes, you'll have most bases covered. Writing a good logline that represents what about your project will make it interesting can take a lot of re-drafting.
I did that with a short script, Thomas. I took "A Quiet Place" and wrote the reverse of it.
Thank you, Evan.
Hi All - I'm confused about subtitles. I have a small part of my screenplay that should be spoken in Italian. I've seen a couple different ways of putting it in the script and thought I would ask here for a final answer. Thx.
I am seeing this:
John (Subtitle)
(In Italian)
Hello, how are things going?
Anyone see it done this way?
Right now I have the Italian words and then in a parenthetical the English words.
Open to more comments and thank you.
Hi Shelly! Dan's example is spot on if it's a quick Italian conversation.

FRANCESCO

But if the conversation is an entire scene, then you could write. "They spoke in Italian" OR "They conversed in Italian" Then you don't need subtitles.
GINO
Blah, blah, blah...
FRANCESCO
Blah, blah...
Hope this helps a little to clear up confusion.
Thank you Dan and DD. I understand now. It is an entire scene so now I know what to do. Onward with my writing.
How often do the pitch session opportunities come up?
Thank you for that link, Eric. I did see it and most are sold out so I am wondering how often these opportunities open up.
The ones they show are roughly for the upcoming month but they do add additional ones sometimes on short notice, so just monitor that page.
You can find them everywhere. Nothing special. They've all been making a bunch of good money and all kinds of websites continue to make good money and have been doing so for like a good 10+ years so there will never be a limited supply.
