So I wrote this movie script

[Guest]

The story is amazing and everything and I wanna know what's the next step.. Knowing that I 'm not a famous script writer and have a little knowledge about the movies industry.

Have you received beta reader feedback on your script? It’s best to get a number of eyes on your work which helps you improve, fix errors and polish it so you can pitch your best work to film agents. You’d likely need a film/TV/screen agent/ agency to represent you and pitch your script to the industry (producers, screenwriters etc). There’s a wealth of information online (blogs, articles, YouTube videos etc) as well on Twitter and Instagram that tells you how to go about it. Interact with other scriptwriters/aspiring scriptwriters on Twitter.

Enter scriptwriting competitions. Meet producers. Go to filmmaking events and schmooze. It’s not easy.

Also, keep writing. No matter how good you think your script is, it probably isn’t your best work (especially if it’s your first). So keep writing. The more you write the more pitches you can make to producers when you finally meet them.

From what I understand about the movie industry, you pretty much have to get to know people who are insiders and will recommend you. You might want to check out Film Courage on YouTube. There's a lot of great advice on there. I wish the industry was more open to more screenwriters. Everything in Hollywood is a reboot. Nothing is original.

I’m not an expert, but I would join Twitter and find people who are screenwriters. They may be able to help you.

You're doing the right thing. If the script is as good as it can be, the next step is to find out all you can about how to get it out there, and then be determined and stick at it. Good luck to you.

There are several screenwriting groups on Facebook that can be very helpful.

You will most likely need to write more than one script before you pitch the first one.

Make sure you get coverage or really good input from experts especially relating to formatting and structure.

When you are ready to pitch, be on the lookout for scams. There are a ton of those where they say you can pitch to a producer and the person isn't legit.

You can enter contests but those costs can skyrocket pretty quickly. Even if you do win you will need to work your butt off to leverage that when to find a manager or agent.

Remember that the chances of getting anything produced by someone outside of the filmmaking world is extremely extremely remote.

Personally, I not only write the screenplay but I also write the novel version so I can pitch both.
