    @SeatownCraig #scriptchat the studios. they have franchisitis. It's been a terrible year for spec sales.

  37. markliterally
    Marcus Casadei@markliterally
    However, smaller studios with first-look deals with larger studios are more open to new writers. Willing to take a chance! #scriptchat

    You must do your research into the studios and don't blindly pitch your screenplay. Strategize! #scriptchat
