SYS Podcast Episode 537: Gigi Levangie Reveals Untold Secrets Behind the Making of SAW (2004)
Ashley
OK, say that again. I’ve not. It’s not a book that I’ve read.
Gigi Levangie
I know no one, it’s called the 10-day screenplay.
Ashley
Okay. Okay. We’ll have to link to that in the show notes. How do you, um, once you have a draft that you’re ready, what does your development process look like? Do you have an agent and a manager? You send it to them. Do you have actor friends? You have writer friends? What do you do to get notes?
Gigi Levangie
Okay. I do have writer friends. I have agent friends, but I don’t have an agent and I don’t have a manager. I have an attorney. So, if I need to make a deal, I go to my attorney. I found that I wrote something on spec and sometimes whole novels. I have novels in my laptop right now before I talked to an agent or pitched it. So, I’ve kind of, and what I do is I take my script and I give it to a producer friend that I know they don’t have to be the biggest producers, but maybe they know somebody else. It’s sort of a process and you sort of have to stay on top of people and you have to be willing to ask. That’s a big thing. That’s a, you know, you sort of have to be unembarrassable.
