Last night my screenplay was requested by Mailbox Baseball Productions, but it was also passed on by MGM. MGM gave me some good feedback, though. So, I have less than 72 hours to do some tweaking and write a new scene. Wish me luck lol

Did MGM actually say, "Change X and Y and we'll take another look at it"? If they did, then that's great news. Best of luck with your project.
That's very good news actually. Now, all the best with the changes!
No, MGM officially passed on the script, but they told me why they passed. So I have a few things to work on. Thanks for the well wishes.
Unless they pointed out valid plot holes/logic issues, characters faults or typo's, you really should bear in mind that everybody has an opinion, and that maybe, an producer may love your script the way it is.
goodluck!

Congrats and good luck.

What the above said. Just trust in yourself, make the scene something YOU would want to see. It worked well for Pixar and it can work well for anyone

BTW how did you go about the process of getting the screenplay submitted? Any tips?

much luck and take it in your stride. If I had a buck for every no I'd be in the chips.
Thanks for the advice, everyone!
Patrick, I recommend using Stage32 Happy Writers. I've tried pitching through a few different services. I prefer Stage32 because I have to receive some response from each exec, and I can research each exec ahead of time and decide who I want to pitch to. Also, Joey Tuccio and company are quite helpful. Every once in a while Joey does a free webinar on pitching. You should take advantage of the next one. Also Jared Iacino's webinar "The Secret to Becoming a Pitching Ace" was very helpful. Maybe it's available on demand.
Good luck!

You can do it! Go!
Patrick - if MGM really really liked your script they would give you an option and guide you through the re-write. One scene might require a total restructuring. You probably didn't want to hear this and probably will never talk to me again. Good luck anyway! Katherine
Congrats and good luck.
