Hi everyone! I'm a beginner screenwriter looking to submit my script to agencies that accept writers from different countries. Since many agencies prefer established writers or require local representation, I’d love to know which ones are open to international newcomers.
Does anyone have recommendations for agencies or management companies that accept unsolicited scripts or are willing to consider writers without prior industry connections? Any advice on the best approach to submitting would also be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Hi, Anush Harutyunyan. Welcome to the community. Danny Range made great points.
Stage 32 has contests (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/contests). If you win a contest or place as a Finalist, Stage 32 will send your work to agents and managers who are seeking new talent. If you don't see contests that fit your projects, keep an eye on the Contest Page. Stage 32 will be adding more contests.
You could also pitch to managers through Stage 32’s Pitch Sessions (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/pitch-sessions)? The main purpose of the Pitch Sessions is to get feedback to improve your pitch, but sometimes the executives, managers, etc. will request scripts, sign writers, etc. (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/success-stories).
I also suggest building up a portfolio of scripts. Agents and managers will most likely want to see that you've written more than one script.
