I've written 6 sci-fi adventure novels, any of which could make a terrific movie, according to all that have read them. I just need an "insider" at the studio level.

pay an artist to adapt your novels to an online comic...
then put the comic online...on your website....then one by one continue with the rest of your adapted screenplays...until all of them are up on your site.
If you are looking for Hollywood to come a calling...that's the way to d o it.
Make them come to you.
What Hollywood is looking for is data to mine. They are data-miners.
They will take your screenplay and strip-mine it...take what ideas are left...and brutalise them until they resemble nothing like what you had written...
then get someone to rewrite what is left.
Instead...create and adapt your own work...put it on the web...create a hunger and a market forit...
and if your work is any good and you develop a decent following of fans...who spread the word about your work. ..Hollywood ....will...find .....you....
Then you can bargain from the seat of strength...
if you have to approach them with your intellectual material...as they get approached every day of the year...you will have no bargaining power...


Check out Terry Rossio's in depth explanation on how Hollywood really works...
those Pirate movies...of the caribbean...... he wrote them...

you might find what he has to say very illuminating...
Rossio is your inside man...but you may not like what he is going to say...

Break a leg dude...
