Everyone thinks they’re in Big Fat Liar, but no one actually wants to be called Jason Shepherd

100% — it’s hard to communicate this to writers because they usually take it personally.

If you send a studio a spec script. Do they now technically own it?

Why worry? No one will read it anyway.

Should I have more than one finished script before I go sending anything out, or is one finished script enough to start?

It costs like $50 to get your manuscript copyrighted, so it’s worth it imo. Agree with everything else in the video tho

Ideas cannot be stolen just your script. You cannot copyright an idea - legally. Exactly.

What about a character within a script, with a unique name and look, that is very likable and marketable?

Don’t you have the copyright to your work by default?

As a green unrepped writer I had a script that was bouncing all over LA with feedback, nothing came of it. 10 years later, it was almost verbatim a film on streaming staring an A List actor.

Any time I see new writers saying they wanna copyright their script, I tell them they are wasting their time.

so do I just mass email a my pitch for the screenplay with the PDF attach or should I do the query letter and cross my fingers hoping they reply?

Aren't so many films, or at least back in the day, built of initial scripts and are considered spec scripts... wasn't Die hard 3 originally a lethal weapon script?

As a young writer, I’ve never really cared about the “ideas” because I know only I can execute it the way that’s unique to me. Only I can make a “cabin in the woods” horror the way I can make it.

There’s a show I love that had a Consulting Producer on it that used to be the showrunner of a show I worked on where I discussed a very similar idea with a coworker.
