This is excellent! As someone who had a screenplay that at various times had Martin Scorsese executive producing and Ben Foster starring with 2 different directors and producers w Oscar nominations attached…I can verify the truth of your post! :)

Really useful. I've got 2 spec film/TV scripts my agent uses to get interest. One for thriller, one for historical. It took me time to grieve the fact that they'd never be made. Sometimes I still bring out that veil.

I'm glad you found this useful and I really agree! I just have to remind myself to be thankful for everything this spec has done for me.
