Entertainment Industry Question?

Question

Ok, im sure that MAYBE im just a little optimistic here, but I have written a script, and I think it is great! I am an aspiring actor, and I have written a part in it for me. I think it is hilarious, and it can relate to everyone. It is a sitcom by the way. Anyway, I really think it has GREAT potential, and I want to show it to a studio. However, i will not give it to them unless I am in it. How do I go about this. Will copyrighting it help me with this? And how would i send it to someone and tell them they can only use it if I am in there? Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

start with classes at school then do plays at shcool build up your resume get experience! then get an agent and if you want to be succesful it will take years of hard work slowly climbing the ladder of success but if you get a chance to do somethign big go for it!

for agents and all the info you need go to actinginfo.blogspot.com and talentagents.blogspot.com for the agent one click table of contents then click city nearest you. read everything on the site

answers wont pop up infront of you so look around and click on the words in blue but not the ones that are double underlined!

Answer 2

A noble thought, and it may be the next big thing? BUT, your last thought bothers me a bit, and might bother anyone interested.

   "And how would I send it to someone and tell them they can only use it if I am in there?"

   What bothers me most about that sentence, that thought, is the word "TELL". No offense but that assumes they will choose to test it for viability, or be so taken by it that they send a private plane to get you. I want to suspect this might be a question better directed at a contract attorney, involved in the field, including such issues.

   Certainly to dictate that they can't use it, unless they include you, assumes you have talent and experience, (Aspiring) and that YOU assume they would accept your terms, just to have the piece, and in a general sense it assumes they wouldn't consider some name actor to fill the role, or named actors to fill all the roles.

Just my 2 "scents"

Answer 3

um i am not exactly positive of all your questions but what ever you do do not mail it or email it to a studio, because then it is under their control. If you and your friends and family really think it is that good then find out a studios address and phone number and shcedule an appointment with them. while you are there tell them what they have to give you in exchange for the script. Good luck!!
