Selling a screenplay is already impossible. So how important is it to know what executives are looking for? Will it help you or hurt you to take Hollywood's trends into consideration?
Necessary advice for the apprentice screenwriter. I can see now why Hollywood operates on such a hive-mind mentality.
Once you experience it, you can't unsee it!
It's not a new phenomenon- those were largely the same protocols the old moguls operated within, and the suits just carry them on.
Totally. Tale as old as time!
This is really useful information! Furthers the argument for having a variety of scripts 📚
Thanks, Lora! I agree.
Audrey, I like what you explore here with development mandates. It's great information for writers. 🙏 ✨
Thanks, Jen! I am trying to pull back the curtain as much as I can without getting in trouble haha.
Thanks Audrey, very helpful overview, as usual. Is there a current mandates doc floating around right now?
There absolutely is and I would get fired for sharing it :)
