The Buccaneer

It is our goal in create such a buzz through the Hollywood community via social media platforms, particularly facebook and twitter that within 8 months we will have  Hollywood Producers  contacting us expressing interest in The Buccaneer screenplay.

We believe that we will create a bidding war to not only option but to lock the rights on our Script, and green light the project for production. It is our goal to pioneer and package a new methodology  to pitch scripts to production companies, producers, and studios, by creating a overwhelming demand for the movie, before the script has even been placed in the hands of the Production companies.

There are many, many worthy scripts out in the world that will never be made into films, because the process of the Pitch. Or because there are simply too many being pitched and too few executives and associates to read them all.

The Film Industry has gotten so overworked that they rely on scripts being turned in with incorrect format, margins, spacing, font etc... too much direction, too many camera shot notes, actor notes, director notes,etc...in an effort to make the workload more doable.

On one hand it looks like they do this just so that they can send them to the circular file and use these as a weeding tool. Laurie Scheer Media Consultant and Development Executive even stated that if the script is bound by the wrong size brass (#5) brads and that there are only two, not three.. This seams extreme but you can understand, that if you are the person reading scripts it would be a big hassle not to have them standardized.

There are now Pitch Festivals where screenwriters pay to stand in line for two or three days to take turns pitching their scripts, during each two minute turn, to 20 or so Production companies.

Up until about a month ago I was following the same plan. I was going to make copies, distribute them to the production companies.Then I was going to attend pitch festivals. I wasn't thrilled with the idea of doing either.

Make it Happen...
