Script writing tips


If you want to make it in the film industry you have to be heard or read. What good is a kick ass script if no one reads it? I know what you might be thinking, that's easier said then done, not really, there are screenwriting contest, screenplay consultants, script readers, there are tons of ways to get your script read.
