Though I do disregard his statement that Hollywood has closed it's doors, I do believe no one in Hollywood actually reads scripts based off query letters.  Hell, I wouldn't.  I just see if it's got a good title and read it. But it is true that TONS of movies only get made because of referals and such.  Like Inside Man for example was written by a first timer, but he knew Spike Lee personally - not that it was a bad movie, but that's primarily why it got see at all.  He knew Spike Lee.

Quoted from AnotherWriter Whoah, take it easy there Kevan. What's with the hostility? I'm only speaking from a personal perspective based on my experiences. I'm sure there are plenty of other people who will prove otherwise. I most probably am wrong.

No hostility, I use exclamation marks at the end of my sentences for emphasis..

My guess you're British, like me..

I would suggest when making statements in the future, to mention that this is your opinion. You corrected yourself in your reply, by stating the stuff you discussed was only your opinion and I thank you for confirming my original suspicions.

This is all I wanted from you to state the arguments you made were your opinion and not based on industry knowledge or experience..

I personally have no faith the British Film Industry, it's run by tossers..

I've got an opportunity of a read for a yet to be written feature-length screenplay by a Hollywood Actor/Co-Producer based upon a script short I've got posted on SimplyScrips and this is all I'm saying on the matter..

A writer's talent can bring these industry people to you if you're good enough..

End of message... Beep..
