Anything Goes : How to get a script produced by Frank M Victoria

Congratulations on winning the awards, Frank M Victoria!

I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Introduce Yourself Lounge to the Screenwriting Lounge since your post is a better fit in the Screenwriting Lounge.

Here are some blogs about networking that might help you meet producers: www.stage32.com/blog/tags/networking-41

I suggest adding a profile picture. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. And if you have a picture, your profile will show up when someone searches for you.

Have you considered producing them yourself? It's not an easy process and it can drive you crazy but you can get some great results.

Congratulations on all your wins Frank! You can pitch your work here on Stage32 and you can submit your projects to the Writers Room. I hope this helps.

Thanks Alicia. I have pitched on Stage 32. When you say submit my projects to the Writers Room, do you mean the entire screenplay?

My three movies cost me about 1,000 dollars each. Broadcast by public access television studios.

One possibility is to make a play of each of your screenplays, and contact amateaur theatres. If a story becomes a success as a play, it will become much easier to sell the screenplay.

Yes Frank. You can submit your entire screenplay/s to companies. I take it you've not been in the Writers Room yet. You get your first month free so this is an opportunity to get your work out straight to decision makers. For more information about the Writers Room contact Stage32. All the best Frank.

Thanks much Alicia.

You welcome Frank.

Network like crazy and move on from festivals/competitions.

Which festivals and screenplay competitions have you won?

Giving away a screenplay may make sense. Imagine you have written the same story both as a play and as a screenplay. Having the screenplay produced will make it much easier to sell the play. Sell the play to one single theatre for one single year and you earn 10,000 dollars.

How many people will give 1 dollar now how many will give you 10 on to hundreds to 1,000's that's how sensitive this is. You gotta meet at a language. Goran is doing films with small cast with high concept. That's indie bread and butter. Look through your scripts. If you have over 7 characters down size the production. It's a battle but after you do the work you will be making those films

I have a short film with only two main charachters. The devil challenges a gambler to a one on one poker game. The stakes: If the gambler wins, he get eternal youth. If he loses he spends eternity in hell. Would you like to see it?

Thanks,

Frank
