Biggest Spec Deal Ever - and the best education in how Hollywood works that I ever could have gotten

Once Upon a Time...my former writing partner and I sold a script for the biggest screenwriting deal in Hollywood history. And so began my ultimate education in how Hollywood works. .

Please check out my latest Film Courage segment where I take a trip down memory lane and impart all that I learned. :

Congratulations to you and your former writing partner on the incredible deal, Mike Thompson! The script did go through a crazy journey! Around 13:00 of the video, you talked about rereading that script and thinking you could do so much better with it now. I think writers should think about rewriting their old scripts with what they know now. I've done it before, and I've been thinking about doing it again. Who knows? We could even sell those scripts or use them as writing samples.
