Chris J Johnson: Producer and screenwriter in Willows, California.

This is a sincere question to the producers, and I promise I won't stalk you if you answer.

What does a screenwriter do if they want a producer (that can actually invest in a feature film)? Seriously? Without even saying anything about my work, I'm asking, Is there a specific way to get a script in front of a big producer without having to pay for said privilege?

I've had several producers tell me straight-up that a recent screenplay I wrote needs to be made into a film, yet that's not in their budget. I get that. It's not in my budget either. As you know, writers don't get paid until someone buys their work.

I'm a storyteller, not a fund-raising specialist. I know some of you will say I need to spend money to make money. That's true. My time is valuable. I research, study, and write because that's my job. I work very hard. If I produced my own film it would suck.

I've got fairly thick skin, so you can be rude if you want, but I'm looking for constructive and sincere answers as to how to get my work before producers who can afford it..

Chris, hi! Big town of Willows - I used to have family that lived there!

Hi Chris:) 'Tis a pleasure to connect! Perhaps we will have the chance to work together someday...

Hi Conrad, I just purchased and viewed your "How to Develop a Treatment That Will Sell Your Project" and it was great. You mentioned a sample treatment, could you send a copy of it to me? I'm at: californiarice@yahoo.com Best, Chris Johnson
