If you can't beat out the competition there, good luck with the rest of the industry. A few years ago I submitted my first script to the Nicholl and didn't make it past the first round. I'm hoping to get my current script - my fifth script, btw - through its next round of rewrites soon enough to get it to the Nicholl this year. I'll be thrilled if it gets to the second round.<br /><br />I went through the screenwriting program at U of Michigan, and I think one of the most practical, humbling aspects of it was that it made me realize just how <i>good</i> pro scripts are. Analyzing movies in class was so great, learning good writing from movies like Signs and Jerry McGuire - even with their faults they're better scripts than what I'm working on now, and more so than my first script. <br /><br />I almost blew a great contact by giving him my first script, but I was in the middle of rewriting it. I'm really grateful, because he did offer to read a script, and now I can save that read for my seventh script or my tenth script or whatever future script, which will no doubt be better than script number one.Amy Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01211471429109267230noreply@blogger.com
