Saw this blog via Final Draft's Facebook:

http://scriptshadow.blogspot.com/2012/06/who-wants-to-sell-script-through.html

If I can get the Breatk Into 3 sorted out on the current draft, I may send mine.

Thought I'd share it at any rate. Happy writing everyone!

I will also pay $50k to anybody willing to sell me a script actually capable of winning "Best Original Screenplay." Shocked

Well, at least he didn't set his sights too high for his first film. Laughing

Seriously, it's probably a great opportunity for somebody, but I am kind of blown away with what he's looking for the script to be comparable to considering it is admittedly his first film.

Good point. But at least he's not comparing it to movies that aren't good. Aim high, right?

Oh and I don't really blame him, but if I thought I had that quality of screenplay in my file drawer, I'd already be shopping it through other channels.

I know my work isn't that good.

Might shoot for the stars for this one. I only hope I at least get the courtesy of a rejection e-mail, even those are hard to come by nowadays.

I want at least WGA minimum for an Oscar nominee.

I actually have something that might be a contender, but his film budget is too low and I doubt he has a distribution deal.

Note that the producer can get away with the word "dramedy" because he doesn't have a screenplay yet. I don't recommend using that word to describe a completed screenplay. Call it a comedy-drama if that's what it is. Dramedy is now a bastardized term that usually refers to a screenplay that was intended to be a comedy but didn't turn out funny.
