  • Hey Angelene,

    Since I'm in a good mood (could be the wine lol), I'm going to give you some expensive advice for free...

    Copyright protect it first - preferably a federal copyright.
    Get a non-disclosure statement for the bottom of the cover page.
    Have an arsenal of media release and non-disclosure agreements on hand.
    Find out what independent film festivals are going on in your area for the next year.
    Find a film/media/broadcasting school near you and recruit a crew.
    Look around for pitch contests.
    Create a mini video of scenes from the screenplay for your marketing.
    Do some research on direct to dvd companies; you have the potential to net more than going to the box office.

    FIRST THINGS FIRST THOUGH - PROTECT YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
    AND KEEP YOUR MONEY IN YOUR HOUSE AS LONG AS YOU CAN. i.e. don't pay anyone a commission until you can afford it OR until a major knocks on your door.

    Good luck!
    Rikki
