Your Script To Screen – The Beginning
Like all good stories, we start at the beginning and hopefully draw in our audience until they’re compelled to stay until the very end. Having worked in the indie film industry for 20+ years I realized that I was being asked the same questions repeatedly – which led me to think I should share the information I have gathered over those years and help young filmmakers starting out in the business. You can have a great script but no cast .. a great script, cast and no finance … a terrible script and finance … you can have it all – the script, the actors, the money and then it snows on opening night and nobody leaves the house! However, good stories find their audience and today the consumer has multiple choices – they can go to the theater; check out their SVOD e.g. Netflix, Amazon, Apple; their YouTube channels; TVOD; Cable … and eventually even their TV screens. It’s a collaborative business and each cog in the wheel – from development through production to delivery and exhibition – needs to play its part in order to get Your Script to Screen.
