Hey Danny, don't know how quickly this suggestion will help but I recently came across Crush Path. A platform to pitch and market anything all in one go. It's the perfect platform for finding investors. It's been developed by a bunch of Silicon Valley gurus. Anyway check it out: http://crushpath.com/

I've written 6000-7000 words for a finall draft short story in a day... one long friggin day of 15 hours and it translated to only 25-30 pages. SO, considering the formatting in a screen play, you might hit 90 pages... but wtf's the hurry? Your Oscar will wait for you... take you time. The story at 7k was called, THE WOMAN IN THE WOOD and I am currently scripting it. Dan and Jaq know there stuffs - max

My best is 7 days for a first draft.

You must be JERRY MAGUIRE writing that manifest! Very impressive but it's the rewrite that will factor your script. Other than that you got talent! Keep yourself productive.

That's pretty Awesome. That's focus!

When you get to the level of screenwriting on assignment, 60/90 days with additional 30 days for re-writes is the norm (not withstanding, those gigs that need faster turnarounds). If you are an unknown, trying to get read in the business, you need to be concerned with writing something crafted, something compelling that people want to read through to the end.

hi Danny , you did n't mention geographical limit of job search , movie kind etc .. would you go for any thing any where ?

San Francisco, LA or New York. Give or take, Thanks for giving an answer to my question earlier.

May I suggest you look locally? While I'm sure you are willing to go anywhere prodCo's hire PA's locally. They pay almost nothing so they are looking for people who live in the area they are shooting. And the sheer amount of people applying for PA jobs means a prodCo in NY isn't going to hire someone from California. Frankly a prodCo in San Francisco is unlikely to hire a PA who lives in San Jose. Again, simply because they have three jobs open and 70 people who want them. Hiring locally makes sense to them. Have you considered local film schools as a place to learn hands on what it would be like to be part of a movie production?

i don't know how you do it in New York city , but here in Afriaca , you buy rights from writer first thing , if you don't have cash at hand , you can find relative deed for aggreement , i guess you know why we pay double or tripple for a car bought on hire purchase , once you own it , then the next step is mobilising for funds and hiring people , that production process . if you don;t know how they ask for funds , producers go begging from those that have it or do business with those interested in investment , its either way . note not all films can succed in begging or either way , as you a producer you must see where the movie belongs before you make a decision . so that you can know where to ask for funds . please be critical on [market ] the movie might be interesting i mean its writting craft very good , but marketable content zero . that's not worthy a look after . you don't have to bu y and keep in drawer at office suit , you need to buy sell , retain investment and earn profits whether you beg or made business . i wish you the best of luck .

Try Simply Scripts too. It has a lot of ok ones and few pretty good ones in between. Takes a lot of time tho to look thru them.

If you are just starting out do a short.
