Best Contest and Script Evaluation!

20/20 CONTEST AND EVALUATION--THE BEST!

The 20/20 Contest.  I am so blown away by this contest I had to mention it... a fantastic deal for writers without the bucks to enter expensive and/or unresponsive contests and the only one I know.

 WHAT A DEAL! Twenty first pages for twenty bucks!  Most producers/readers skim the first 20 pages – that is if the Gods smile, sun comes out, and they had a great lunch! Based on this idea, that producers only have patience and fortitude for 20 pages, Bonnie and Andy conceived the idea for their unique contest.  They scour one’s script, giving those essential first 20 pages a thorough, respectful read, plus i I believe, dedicated and responsible feedback.  Moreover, they give writers a shot at having one’s entire script professionally assessed.  Once all criteria (salability, market place status, correct format, compelling story) are met, guild signatory agency representation is offered through their parent company, Screenbrokers.

After being lucky enough to meet most of the imperative 20 Marketability Checklist points of 20/20's first round, I was invited to send my entire script.  Although it wasn’t perfect, Andy and Bonnie believed in my story and writing abilities and offered me tweaking suggestions and guidance until my script was truly marketable.   Only then did they link me up with an agent and a manager.  I also had the option of having a complete ****uation.  I chose another of my scripts and was amazed with the thorough feed back and personal attention. To date, my television pilot has been forwarded to a major network and two of my other scripts are at various production houses.  They have continued to shepherd my writing career and have shown eagerness for screenplay number three once it’s ready and I’ve ripped it out of the machine. 

On the fast track, you bet!  The bonus is, I'm dealing with very warm, caring, professional people and because of them, I have come out of a writers’ gulag and into the world of true possibilities.  I offer Bonnie, Andy and their 20/20 Contest my profound thanks!
