1. Do I need an executive producer or agent with permission to submit scripts? Yes. In past years finding someone to help you with experience and access was extremely difficult.

No longer is that the case. There are executives all over the place that can assist you. It can be done and is done every day. You just need to decide who you want to assist you.

Speak to our executive producer if assistance is needed.

2. Do I need talent attached to my project? No. However, depending on the talent it could help. But unless you know what the budget is for talent of the company, you're submitting to it is not needed.

• However, what companies are interested in seeing is a one-minute visual of what your project is about. i.e. concept visual, trailer, pilot.

3. Development Package - Your script is not the only or even the first document that industry executives often will want to review first.

Your Development Package is often reviewed before reading your script. It gives a concise overview of how your project meets the creative and production needs of the company you're submitting to.

• Development Package - What information should be included in your Package.
• Sample of a Development Package presentation
• The Development Executive which all companies have, will want to know immediately, what genre is your script, (in 1 sentence) what is it about, is there talent attached, what is a high and low budget for it, and what level quadrant is it?
• They will want to have answers to those questions before they read the first 10 pages of your script.

This is the reason why Development Packages are critical to including information that meets both the creative and production needs of the company you're submitting to.

4. Script Polish - Keep in mind the first 10 pages of your script must grab and hold the attention of the executive you're submitting to.
