I got an AGENT in Hollywood... finally...

[MemorialStadKid]

It took a year after moving to Los Angeles, but I finally got an agent to represent me to the studios and production companies!

For those that don't know, for a writer in L.A., one of the biggest career steps is to get an agent to represent you. Without an agent, it becomes much more difficult (and in some cases impossible) to apply for openings on TV series or lobby to write a screenplay for a large-scale production.

Many studios refuse to deal with any unrepresented writer because they assume you weren't "good enough" to get an agency to represent you. Its a necessary evil because so few people actually take the time to learn the craft of writing and instead go out there messing it up for everyone else by not learning protocol or style.

One very tough year though...

Congratulations MSK. The inevitable task of changing your agent every three months has just been sanctioned. It's all downhill from here, man... :D

OK, just kidding.

This is a huge first step. Please accept my best wishes that it's the first of many. And you're right about it being a tough year - toughest I've seen in the last 25.

Congrats MSK!

How about writing a screenplay based on the perserverence of a struggling Orioles fanbase? ;)

[cindyluvsbrady]

WOW:)!
Can you help me meet famous people?;)
Congrats!:clap3:

Believe it or not, I am developing a story like that. I had an idea of having a kid grow up as an Orioles fan and end up on the team during a see-saw season where they ended up in the World Series but lose.

Its still a few years away but I am developing it.

Here's some help on writing the script...

GEORGE: They want you to do a TV show?

JERRY: Well, they want me to come up with an idea. I mean, I don't have
any ideas.

GEORGE: Come on, how hard is that? Look at all the junk that's on TV.
You want an idea? Here's an idea. You coach gymnastics team in high
school. And you're married. And your son's not interested in gymnastics
and you're pushing him into gymnastics.

JERRY: Why should I care if my son's into gymnastics?

GEORGE: Because you're a gymnastics teacher. It's only natural.

JERRY: But gymnastics is not for everybody.

GEORGE: I know, but he's your son.

JERRY: So what?

GEORGE: All right, forget that idea, it's not for you....Okay, okay, I
got it. You run an antique store.

JERRY: Yeah and...?

GEORGE: And people come in the store and you get involved in their
lives.

JERRY: What person who runs an antique store gets involved in people's
lives?

GEORGE: Why not?

JERRY: So someone comes in to buy an old lamp and all of a sudden I'm
getting them out of a jam? I could see if I was a pharmacist because a
pharmacist knows what's wrong with everybody that comes in.

GEORGE: I know, but antiques are very popular right now.

JERRY: No they're not, they used to be.

GEORGE: Oh yeah, like you know.

JERRY: Oh like you do.

KRAMER: ...And you're the manager of the circus.

JERRY: A circus?

KRAMER: Come on, this is a great idea. Look at the characters. You've
got all these freaks on the show. A woman with a moustache? I mean, who
wouldn't tune in to see a women with a moustache? You've for the
tallest man in the world; a guy who's just a head.

JERRY: I don't think so.

KRAMER: Look Jerry, the show isn't about the circus, it's about watching
freaks.

JERRY: I don't think the network will go for it.

KRAMER: Why not?

JERRY: Look, I'm not pitching a show about freaks.

KRAMER: Oh come on Jerry, you're wrong. People they want to watch freaks.
This is a "can't miss."
