+*Note: having a script featured on the blog does not guarantee the script will be sold or optioned or picked up.  The vast majority of the options comes from being listed on the Unproduced Scripts page. But it probably doesn't hurt...

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!  8)

Congrats!

Congrats Pia!

Congrats, Pia.

Congrats!

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:)

Nice, Pia! Too bad we can't read it.

Great job Pia!

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.  :)

Nice one, Pia.

Late congrats. Great job, Pia!

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.

Congratulations Pia! A sale!!! woooo!

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.

Awesome!

Way to go Pia!  Another notch in the belt!

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!

Congrats, Pia! And you're right -- SS does rock!
