“Unlocking Hollywood: Secrets to Thriving as an Unrepresented Screenwriter”
And, yes, I’ve done this all while representing myself:
- I’ve never had an agent or manager set up any of my meetings or contract negotiations.
- I’ve never had an entertainment lawyer look over my contracts.
- I’ve never used any type of representation to communicate between me, the directors of my projects, the producers of my films, or the production and distribution that greenlit them.
- Oh, I’ve also never met my direct contact—the SVP of the company—in person. Heck, we’ve never even spoken to each other on the phone (yet). It’s all been through email.
I declare all of this not to boast. I’m just sharing these career details with you because they are far from what most would expect. And even better… they can give you hope.
