SCREENPLAYS IN LIMBO: FROM FESTIVALS TO FILM SETS
A screenplay is meant to be filmed, not just admired.
You’ve racked up dozens of laurels. Your script is winning awards. That’s amazing—but what now?
Be honest—has all that recognition actually brought you closer to getting your film made? Or are you stuck in limbo, waiting for someone to take the next step?
The Harsh Truth: Festivals Don’t Get Films Made
Submitting your screenplay to festivals feels like progress. And in some ways, it is. Validation feels great. But let’s shift perspective for a moment—
What’s more important: awards or a producer who sees the market potential of your film?
At a recent producer panel, a veteran producer said something that changed the way I think about film development:
“It’s not about the cast. It’s about the concept.”
Translation? Your story needs an audience. Without a clear audience, big names won’t matter. Who is going to watch this film? How do we reach them?
What Film Producers Actually Care About
A producer isn’t just looking at your script for its story—they’re evaluating:
✅ Budget Range – How much will this realistically cost?
✅ Cast & Director – Which talent can make this a viable project?
✅ State Incentives – Where should this be filmed for the best financial return?
✅ Distribution – How will we get this film in front of paying audiences?
And most importantly:
✅ Market Fit – Does this concept have a proven audience willing to pay for it?
If your screenplay isn’t getting picked up, it’s likely because this piece of the puzzle is missing.
The Smart Move: Get a Producer’s Perspective
You can keep chasing agents and managers, hoping for a shot. Or you can pitch directly to film producers who are actively looking for strong concepts.
That’s where I come in.
