Quote of the Day: Rita Mae Brown

Posted by: Angela , November 1, 2013

You sell a screenplay like you sell a car. If somebody drives it off a cliff, that’s it.

    A screenplay itself is an ad, the job of selling. How well can you touch the emotions of the right buyer and convince him/her to buy your script, and that that person is the right buyer for your product because he/she will drive it well and all the hundreds thousands of miles use of it without driving it off a cliff so that one day it becomes a vintage classic?
