Screenwriting : Why is so hard to find an agent or a list of production companies? by Luis Dazara

Why is so hard to find an agent or a list of production companies?

Got a lot of scripts to show and two big in the way and is so hard for me to make me listen given thata I live in Buenos Aires

It is a little more difficult living outside of the Hollywood mainstream Louis. I face the same problem here. My scripts aren't typically South African and given the low budget nature of our industry, Hollywood has become my best option. My surname is Welthagen, but since dropping it for my middle name "William", I've managed to get more reads and a little further in my career. As for the lists of agents etc. I would suggest you stay away from agents and look rather to get a manager to start off with. They will take a keener interest in you and bridge the distance gap. Here's a nice list to get you started. Focus on managers. http://www.hollywoodscriptexpress.com/screenwriter_agencies.html
