1. Save $ - even $5 a month in a slush fund is better than $0 and a May deadline.

2. Make sure inner monologues and useless dialogue are cut

3. Peer review out the wazoo.

4. Spellcheck my friends. You ain't got no excuse not to do that there spellcheckin'.

5. Make sure you cover up any watermarks - look like a champ.

6. Make sure you have a logline that can fit into 100, 300, and 400 characters. You'll run into this constraint. Trust me.

7. Be prepared to describe what genres your screenplay fits into. Don't stumble here, rattle 'em off.

8. Optional: register with the WGA and/or the US Copyright Office, but there's a big one here that's worth watching, so yes, hit the play button.

9. Keep WRITING. Our first x amount of screenplays are garbage. Keep at 'em.

May the Almighty bless you on your filmmaking journey with boatloads of creativity.

P.s. 

Bonus Tip: If it’s not an ensemble piece like the Magnificent Seven, make sure everything contributes to your protagonist’s journey, even when the protagonist is not in the scene

 1. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing it full-time or part-time or super part-time, you don’t want to waste time getting an LLC or some other legal entity set up first. One, it costs money that you don’t have. Two, you might be really terrible at sales and have no business lined up outside your door, so until you have revenue, it’s best if you don’t splurge for the business license just yet. I’m not saying to be an illegal operation in your town and county and state. That is not at all what I’m saying. What I am saying is, without this next most critical piece in play, you are wasting your time and your dollars. And when you are starting out, every dollar has to count.

2. You need to be focusing on revenue. Which means getting clients. Which means getting a client. You can’t get to having several clients unless you’ve had a client. So, when you commit to starting a video production business, your first objective is to land a client. But even then, we are jumping the gun. What you really need to do, and step zero, is…

In this third part and final part of this video series on prospecting somebody who doesn't know you from Adam or Eve, I'm going to give you a simple example which includes the reason for following up. We always want to know why, just ask your kids; they always want to know why! Give your prospect a “why” you're following up and do something memorable. Be authentic. Stand out. But more importantly, follow up at least once with the unsold person who, 5 days or 10 days ago, never heard of you.

This one competition is the world heavyweight champ of screenwriting competitions, so you might as well take your best story and submit it to this one. If ever there was a litmus test, it’s this bad boy.
