An exclusive interview with development executive Laurie Scheer

How To Sell Your Screenplay: An Interview With Film Insider Laurie Scheer 

By Glenn Bossik

Scriptologist.com spoke with media guru Laurie Scheer, a professional script consultant who has worked as a high-level development executive and producer for companies such as Viacom and Showtime, as well as for leading actresses like Meg Ryan.

Laurie's recently published book, Creative Careers in Hollywood: From Extra Girls to Errand Boys (Allworth Press, 2002), gives writers her insider's view of Hollywood and what it takes to succeed there.

Scriptologist.com: "Are you saying that the film industry is accessible?"

Laurie Scheer: "Right. [The new generation of filmmakers are] not coming from families that are show-business oriented. In fact, they're coming from good Mid-Western families. They got in their cars and went out there [to LA]. One is a junior agent at CAA. Another one is head of Disney story. Another one is a producer on the Universal lot. These kids are about 27, 28-years-old. They'll be fine. And none of them had any connections. They're just normal, hard-working kids, extremely talented in what they do, but working hard. If I can do it, they can do it. If you make that 110% effort, there's no reason why you can't sell your script."
