I've optioned more scripts than I can count, but this one was actually sold. Big surprise since it was an old script too. SS rocks! |

Well done Do you mind if I ask, how common is it to sell a short and roughly what's the going rate? Sorry I realise that might be rude, feel free not to answer |

Thanks guys! I don't like selling shorts because it means I can't shoot them myself or turn them into features, but I hadn't thought about this script in years and with it being comedy, I just couldn't see where I would ever miss it. He's doing it for some AT&T thing. We'll see if it goes anywhere. |

I think it depends on the script. If you know it's a great one with feature potential, I'd say you would want some substantial amount. If it's something you don't really care about yourself, I would say you should be happy to get anything. In this case, I got less than a thousand, but considering it was only five pages, took only a few hours to write, I wrote it several years ago and I don't really care about it, I see it as all positive. |

I think there's some scripts worthy of review just from the Tournament so far. I'll try and do some reviews when it's over. But I might completely forget by then so feel free to remind me. |

Well done, Pia. Always nice to get an old spec out the door. Hopefully, it gets made and they haven't blown the budget on this massive sale, haha. Good luck. |

Thanks guys! This one was sold last year. Itäs been filmed. Unfortunately, I think because I sold it and not optioned it, I was forgotten after the deal. I have not seen it, nor have I heard from the director again. I think he took it to festivals and I would've loved to know how it did, but when you give up all rights to a script in a sale, the writer is in my experienced, forgotten before the ink dries. |

That's crap. Do these guys know nothing about networking and building professional relationships, never mind common courtesy and human decency? What gits! |
