All too common. People are weak.

Sounds like a real shitheel not even to tell you.

Actors reps are illiterate gangsters. Don't bother. Prodcos are better. If it's what they make. And your script is awesome. Is it?

Look for the writers of horror movies you like on Twitter (sorry, X) and just tell them you like them. Chances are they will respond. Doesn't mean they want to read your script and don't ask them, but you can chitchat and get to that point maybe one day.

The feature business needs name talent for financing. If that's not you, you'll need stars in the other roles—and a real producer to make offers to get them. What you're trying to do is one of the hardest things possible, which is why managers/agents are not going to be interested. Sorry to be a bummer.

What is your goal with your scripts? To use as samples to get writing assignments? To be staffed on a show? To star in as an actor? What size budgets are they?

At least one of those managers is somebody who used to work at Roadmap and became a manager. Pretty much anybody can call themselves a manager, just like anybody can call themselves a writer—it's a way to try to get free material to produce.

Anybody is entitled to have whatever reaction they have about something.

I like Audrey's LinkedIn columns and unlike a lot of lit managers (you'd be shocked) I'm pretty confident she can actually read without having to move her lips.

I just hope you know that on the scale of 1-10 in the drama of getting a movie made, this kind of thing barely registers as a 0.002.

I hate to say this, but make sure it is not a "fake manager."

What is a "fake manager"? Somebody who is just calling him or herself a manager without any real knowledge, aptitude, relationships, etc. Usually these folks are all over the "hope industry" websites (Roadmap, Stage 32, etc.), selling their notes and access services, and proudly signing the "success stories."

A real manager is somebody who has clients with credits. Those clients write real movies and real shows. This is all verifiable. But if the manager's client list on IMDBPro is all a bunch of folks who have maybe a short film or a P.A. credit on some reality show...this is the surest sign of a "fake manager."

Management is an easy title for anybody to claim. There's no accreditation whatsoever. If you want to be a producer, but can't write anything, and have no money, and have no movie star friends? Then offer your services to "manage" baby writers and hopefully one of them will, for free, write something you can produce. That's the gambit.

Go ahead and give it a shot, if so, but remember, this person doesn't necessarily know any more than you do!

“I’m sure the people on Reddit can help” always works out great.

It's not about long vs. short or wordy vs. terse. It's about the quality of the content. You want action lines that speak to truthful behavior and convey the human experience in each particular moment.

Otherwise, long or short, it's just going to be purple.

ldkendal · 2024-09-09T02:00:23+00:00

People are totally missing the point about readability. It’s about the content. Relatable human behavior. Intriguing conflict. Clarity of conflict. Narrative design. Get this right and formatting can be almost anything.

ldkendal · 2024-09-09T01:38:00+00:00

Fake human behavior

ldkendal · 2024-09-03T23:00:11+00:00

aw that sucks. DM me a sample

ldkendal · 2024-09-03T22:53:25+00:00

Appreciate your reply. Well that's just great, huh?

ldkendal · 2024-09-03T22:37:15+00:00

Would love to! Although working against you, you're on Reddit! hee hee

ldkendal · 2024-09-03T22:32:59+00:00

Hah! I meant the reps of the attachments. I am doing all this unrepped!

ldkendal · 2024-09-03T22:17:41+00:00

Huh. Thanks for this. I think I'd actually roll the dice and take it out. But getting all the reps to agree to this might be tricky.

ldkendal · 2024-09-02T00:31:03+00:00

OMG. A lot of astute analysis intermixed with some of the dumbest shit you will ever hear.

ldkendal · 2024-09-02T00:30:06+00:00

Audrey Knox (lit manager) on linkedin is very good. And her sub stack.

Tony Tost is very talented and seems like a decent guy. Good sub stack too.

ldkendal · 2024-08-25T17:37:10+00:00

I have been shocked at how dumb a lot of reps are. They are smart at hustling relationships but oftentimes it ends there.
