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." |
