Screenwriting : James Crawford's How to Write and Produce a Successful Christmas Movie by Harrison Glaser

Hi all! Wasn't that great? Questions I did not hear answers to if anyone can pitch in:

Does an agent need to submit your one-page query?What kind of career/bio info should be in your query?

How do you indicate the acts in a screenplay (and therefore the act-outs)? I'm assuming each act doesn't consist of just one scene.If you had a screenplay of this genre, what categories would you submit it in in screenplay contests?

*Does anybody have an example of a typical one-page pitch?

Thank you!!

Donna

Great workshop! Wrote lots of notes. :) Although I don't know why people had to keep asking almost the SAME question (which he'd already answered in his workshop.) That really was a waste of time. I wanted to know if you could put a flashback into the holiday movie.

Debra, I have totally seen flashbacks in these movies!

Oh, there it is. Just wanted to ask if anybody has luck getting produced Hallmark scripts to read as samples of format, etc...?

I posted a separate question about this under craft and nobody has come up with any.

A rare animal, I presume.

They exist; they just don't get posted publicly.

The last clandestine thing I ever did was look for the pink Volkswagen in Arcadia so I could get the winners at Santa Anita...

Maybe Final Draft has that in their templates??? I will look, but my FD is not FD11...
