Synopsis

As many Hollywood hopefuls know, the most commonly used rejection line spewed by Hollywood studio executives when they do not buy a script is, 'I liked it, didn't love it', but what happens when the studio honchos like your script? What happens to your screenplay or novel when it is submitted to a studio or production company? What happens to it after it's optioned or sold? What does 'in development' really mean? After living the lives of studio and development executives and for the past 15 years and selling their own screenplays, Rona Edwards and Monika Skerbelis are able to answer these elusive questions about the development process.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The most commonly used rejection line spewed by studio executive honchos when they do not buy a script is, "I liked it, didn’t love it." What happens to your screenplay or novel when it leaves your hands and is submitted to a studio or production company? What happens to it after it’s optioned or sold? What does "in development" really mean? Rona Edwards and Monika Skerbelis will shed light on all those questions for both those who are new to the business, and those already journeying through the "storied" halls at a film studio, television network, or production company.
Edwards and Skerbelis will tackle how to find new ideas, what it takes to be a development executive or a story analyst, how to work with producers and writers, and tips for pitching. They present exercises created to assist the reader in developing their writing skills.
