Title: I met the Deerhunter's daughter
Post by: GilloD on June 22, 2009, 06:11:51 PM: I was volunteering at this thing on Saturday and I was prepping like a giant case of strawberries and talking to this girl who was helping out. She was saying there her Dad was a screenwriter. So I was all, "Did he have any success?" and she replied, "Kind of. He got a big break early in his career and then kind of spent the rest of his career watching things not happpen" and I was like, "Bummer, whatw as his big break?"

"Uh, maybe you know it, Deerhunter?"

:-X

True story.

Makes sense. These days if it ain't a sequel, remake or established franchise, you're not going to get much of a look-in.

The only other way I think is if a well-known director/producer takes an interest in one of your scripts and backs you. It certainly is tough.
