I work for a production company on the Disney Lot in Burbank.

I work for a production company on the Disney Lot in Burbank.

Thats 15 minutes from where I stay while in LA.


Does the Disney Lot give tours?

Yep. I see them come through just about everyday. Feels pretty awesome to know that I work for a place that people pay money to come visit.

Toledous, I am learning to be a comic book artist, is it easier to take an original self-published graphic novel and try to sell it as a screenplay? Does that give me an "edge" in Hollywood?

Dead already?

Dead already?

We're writing, brah. (hopefully).

[Mr.PissShivers]

^^^^Still time for conversation I hope^^^^

[deadsoul]

What do you want to discuss, brah?

I'm still in the learning stages, personally, although I do write. I've got the beginnings of a few different stories as well as complete outlines for two. It's a hobby of mine rather than a career goal, but I'm still reading about it. I enjoy watching movies/television now that I know more about screenwriting. It's fun to think about what was going on in the writer's mind when he wrote a certain scene or line. You pick up on smaller details. You also become somewhat critical. "If this is getting made, I made as well give it a shot". I know it's not that easy, though. Connections, marketability, getting an agent, etc. all play their part.

I like writing, though. I'd rather keep going to school, devleop my skills on the side, and put 100% effort into it when school gets out for winter break.

Do you read any plays at all?

I can't recall ever reading a play, but I certainly would. If I do I probably would choose something from David Mamet.

One of the guys in this thread said he was a reader at a production office on the Disney lot in Hollywood, but I think he abandoned this thread.

I'm still around though.

Your script has format issues.

[viennafat]

Anyone have any input on how one would get an agent?
For those who are not in the industry, is this basically impossible?

Just trying to brainstorm ways to have a script read/looked at.
From my understanding, unless you have an agent or some connection into the industry, you're basically S.O.L.
