Well the first thing you would want to do is, copyright your material after you have finished the script, upload your pdf. file and use a credit card or banking account to do it. The second thing I did was a treatment, which is basically a highlight of the most important scenes in your script, so it should be about 30 to 40 pages long. After doing so I rented a few movies that are similar to what I had written, which is a low-budget, character driven films, by the way Lionsgate has a plethora of low-budget films that are usually recognized. Like the entire Saw series, Paul Haggis’ Crash, Akeelah and the Bee, which is a tremendous , unappreciated film. When the closing credits appear after these films just look for a producer, search him up on yahoo and look at the material that he’s most intrested in. After you have found a producer’s name that has interest in movies, like your own, search any offices and ask for his contact info. Los Angeles
Lionsgate
2700 Colorado Ave.
Santa Monica, CA 90404
Telephone (310) 449-9200
Facsimile (310) 255-3870 I used this one, I contacted his assistant through e-mail, tell them that you have written a speculative screenplay that might benefit their company, give her a log line about your script, copyright serial number, your name, phone number, e-mail. . . Then she will give you an adress to mail your screenplay, which has to be binded and contain personal info on the front page. After 2 weeks you will receive an e-mail that your material has been reviewed by a reader, thereafter you wait another week where they give you the news. Since I sold my material all rights now belong to Lionsgate, So they can re-write it and tamper with it. It kind of sucks, cuz I really spent a lot of time on it. And cool part about it is, if my movie gets comissioned for production I get more money, but that’s only if it ever gets made. My fingers are crossed.
