Look at me, the big query.....

I just realized how obnoxiously cliche my title is.

"Confessions of a Screenwriter". Sounds like an HBO special.

Anywho, so yesterday I mass mailed a bunch of agents with my query letters. Hopefully someone bites.

Cuz I want fame and fortune and beautiful ladies to lick my toes right!?

Far from it. I've shown that scene to audiences. Once in a venue of 500 some odd general audience people who came to a student showcase from the local area. They cheered, applauded and laughed (as hoped). Everyone else that's watched it has said the same thing, "What the crap? We don't get to see him beat up the blond kid?"

Which means I've got characters their responding to. Sure, it's the age old archetypes, but they're in a fresh new environment. Used for the some objective, but through new means. Which is what I've always tried to do.

And my response to them is always "how do you know he beats the crap out of the blonde guy?"

Hopefully someone will think this in the "big time" and want to go forward on the project.

If not, there's always the next screenplay. But I really love this project and i could care less how much money I get from it. I just want to see it happen, hook people to love it.......and then make the sequels (which i already know what would happen and they would kick ass for sure lol)

- I'm out
