Just curious... So Massimo... $400.000.00!   I do not see a post follow up gracing the members with your wonderful success.

With a legimate bid like that, I am amazed that you did not contact the William Moriss Agency right away.  They are easy to find with minimal searching on the WEB!

I am new to this Screenwriting thing... but from the way you guys are talking money wise, I should have taken the $250,000 the William Moriss Agency told me to take 17 years ago for my "STORY."

I had my reasons back then not to sell out, but NOW I am considering it and I don't think anyone gives a Ding Dong about the STORY anymore.

Even as a NEWBEE I know the meaning of the word "Timely."  Hope you struck while the Iron was HOT!

I wish you would let us know the outcome of your Lucky Streak you had when you were offered those "BIG BUCKS!"

I sold two screenplays, but they were for the very modest sum of 5 grand a piece. Since then... I've been writting so much and completing so many different types of work, so that when my time does come... I'll be ready with some incredible stuff. Marketable stuff.

The AMERICAN ANUAL & CORPIS

are the two screenplays I've sold. I placed 3rd in a DC comics contest for a FLASH screenplay.

I'm not ahwere if they plan to use any of the top 3 in the new movie on the way or in a comic book or a cartoon.  They might not use them at all. Alot of production companies just buy work so no one else can swoop it up. Alot of incredible stuff is in a back room somehwere that'll never be touched.

BRAVO Baltis!  You need credits for when you get into the "BIG TIME!"  It sounds like you are on a ladder with no where to go but UP!

I Heatrfelt WISH YOU THE BEST!

I hope to see more good things in your "CREDITS" from time to time.
