ABOUT US
So You Wanna
Sell A Script, was founded by Paul Harvey and Angela
Bond, as a direct result of their close contact with writers
over their years in the film business. Writers had often expressed
their disappointment and frustration in the current Hollywood
system and other sites had not managed to provide them with
as much feedback as they needed, or an extensive variety of
services all under one roof. All this served to demonstrate
that So You Wanna Sell A Script was an invaluable
service that was past due.
Although other
sites exist that offer writers coverage and development services
and others yet that offer a means of selling a writer's work,
both Paul and Angela were keen to bring everything under one
roof, where daily screening would take place and the integrity
of the site would be maintained.
So You Wanna
Sell A Script also decided to offer a free service that
is without parallel. If a writer's script receives a "recommend"
or "consider" from our readers, then they are placed
in our Script Marketplace and Hollywood Bugle, for six months
free of charge. In addition, if they received a "recommend",
we get on the phone to all our
contacts
and do everything possible to get their script sold - at the
very least, we hope to get them an agent. We receive nothing
for this, no hidden commission, no fees from the writer or
anyone else. It's up to the writer if they want to take advantage
of this - there's no obligation on their part. A lot of people
have asked us why we're offering this, when we receive nothing
from it and the answer is simple - why not? We have the resources,
the ability and the
contacts
and frankly it's a great feeling to discover new talent -
we can't promise anything, but the effort we put in will be
100%.
So You Wanna
Sell A Script does not take commission for any script
or writer's work sold as a result of using this site - but
feel free to write a Thank You note!
So You Wanna
Sell A Script is overseen by a dedicated workforce that
has worked within Hollywood and the film business for years.
Extensive research took place amongst writers and film executives
in order to create this site and its supportive community.
We hope you enjoy using it.
We want this site
to work, and most importantly, work for you. Therefore, we
are always interested to hear of any way in which we can improve
our service and/or add new services that you would like to
see offered. You are welcome to
contact us
to give us your thoughts.
So
You Wanna's principals:
Angela Bond
has been in the film business for over twelve
years and possesses expertise in many departments. She has
spent the last four as VP of Development, most recently with
Original Voices. Angela is the co-owner of Fresh Films set
up in 2001. You can email Angela directly from our

Paul Harvey
has been in the film business since 1996. He decided to become

So
You Wanna's contributors:
David Trier
has worked in development as a script analyst at several independent
production companies. He also lives his life vicariously through
film, unable to establish meaningful relationships with the
living. He proudly takes credit for coming up with the idea
to flash a series of pictures in a consecutive order in conjunction
with a series of sounds - a concept laymen refer to as the
"movie" or "film". You can email David
directly at
truemoviereview@sbcglobal.net.

True Movie Review.
Dr. Scott.
Dr. Scott is not a "Doctor" in the traditional sense, nor does he play one on TV. Born somewhere deep within the bowels of the Earth, Dr. Scott ascended to the surface to treat all those who would be his patients with film-related medicines (He's also a journalism student). Dr. Scott is wanted in 37 of our 50 states, is madly in love with Angelina Jolie, and likes to express open contempt for George Lucas. Make an appointment with The Doctor by
emailing Until_Dark@yahoo.com, or visit his unofficial office at Dr. Scott's Office.
David Haviland
is a script analyst and film reviewer, and is currently working on his first feature-length screenplay; a heart-warming romance pitched somewhere between Brief Encounter and Sullivan's Travels. His favourite films are Secrets And Lies, Back To The Future, and The Apartment, and you can email him at davehaviland@hotmail.com.
Blake French.
For five years, Blake has served as a film and theater writer for a variety of newspapers, magazines, and online publications (including Filmcritic.com). Several producers and agents have expressed interest in his dramatic writing, and Paul Bodner, author of The Lemonade Stand series, recently chose his essay (out of 7,000) to be published in his latest book. Blake also acts and models professionally and has appeared in various commercials and feature films. He currently resides in suburban Detroit, and is a 2002 inductee into The Online Film Critics Society.
Johnny Bravo
is a Hollywood screenwriter who enjoys bashing
movies that happen to fall prey to his viewing. You can email
Johnny directly at
johnnyb971@hotmail.com.
Jammy Dodger
is a Hollywood screenwriter who loves chiming in on the latest
films. You can email Jammy directly at
jammydodger@soyouwannasellascript.com.
Although So
You Wanna Sell A Script is a separate entity from Fresh
Films, it is nonetheless able to take advantage of the excellent
contacts
and channels of communication that Fresh Films possesses.
Fresh Films maintains
its open door policy of accepting submission queries by both
e-mail and snail mail and often requests intriguing scripts
for possible production through this method. Fresh Films,
like any bona fide production company, will not charge a reading
fee and will not suggest any script services to the writer.
Please understand that Fresh Films only reads chosen scripts
in order to consider them for possible production and not
to provide any script service and/or coverage to the writer.
If you have any
confusion about how the two companies operate and would like
your questions answered before using this site, please
contact us.
