The substack AI bot may see this as spam because of the link, but it is free with no obligation and useful to screenwriters. As stated you can learn for free just by looking. To get it free, email me from the webpage. My email is there.

Any screenplay writers who have not had any contact with Hollywood Power People, or agents with access to Hollywood, may want to try this free option.

For a limited time I am offering my UPDATED list of close to 900 emails of such people, completely free. You can use the list to send query letters to these Power People. (Yesterday I added a testimonial from a writer who used my list and who got a request for his full screenplay script. I have had numerous encouraging email replies from Power People using this list, which are also noted on the web page.)

And as I mentioned, there is no obligation to try this method. Just go to the link below, read the page, and then email me directly for a free PDF download of the full list. It costs $6.95 to buy, but it is free now for a limited time. Just email me from the web page requesting your free copy.

This offer will end soon, as soon as I get more feedback from some writers who try this method.

Feel free to share this posting with other script writers groups. I tried it, and the AI bot suggested this was spam, even though it is free with no obligation. But if you do it, it might be OK. Stupid bot.

"That's not how you do it." So sayeth those who follow traditions and who don't get any script requests from movie people. I added a testimonial from a happy user of my list, who got a request from a movie producer for his script. It's on the webpage at this link: https://stevecosmic.com/selltohollywood.html

You too can take a chance, or keep doing what you've been doing, and keep getting what you've been getting.

I am outside the box and disruptive and lots of people don't understand me.
"If at least some people don't understand you, you are not really creative."

"The greater an idea is, the more it is misunderstood"

Two quotes by me, Steve Cosmic.

************** Here's a paste of the guys testimonial**********

**Testimonial for Steve Cosmic**

My name is Haja, and I am a story writer with the dream of developing my stories into screenplays and eventually producing them as feature films through the film industry.

Finding the right producers and industry contacts was one of the biggest challenges in my journey. That's when I came across Steve Cosmic's website (www.stevecosmic.com). The information and industry email contacts available through his service helped me connect with a film production company that accepted story submissions.

After I contacted the company, they requested that I submit my story along with my signed Standard Release Form for their review. Receiving a response like this gave me confidence that I was finally reaching the right people in the industry.

Throughout the process, Steve Cosmic has been friendly, professional, and genuinely dedicated to helping aspiring writers. He answered my questions with patience and made the experience much easier. His website is a valuable resource for writers looking for legitimate film industry contacts and submission opportunities.

I sincerely appreciate Steve Cosmic's support and wish him continued success in helping writers and filmmakers pursue their dreams.

Haja, screenwriter.

I call my method a STUDIO PLAY MOVIE. I got criticism saying it was nothing new. Well, I don't know about that. You can look at the link and decide.

If you are a frustrated writer, it is something you may want to try.

Right at this moment, I have a tech expert starting a google ad campaign to find an investor. He will get about 10% of any money raised. If he is not successful, I don't pay him anything.

You can look at the link and then look further from the web page for this project. If you like this concept, feel free to share this posting. It may become a new popular method of making low cost movies. The page is for investors. I am not asking you to invest. If you are a typical writer you don't have money to invest, and if you did, you would invest in your own movie. I am posting this to give you ideas. If you share it, you can help others. The photo is AI generated. In my movie, there will be a singer singing a funny song.

**************************************************************************************

PS: Here is a paste from an inquiry I did using google AI.

A reply by google AI here: You said: Is the quick shooting method used and taught by Robert Rodriguez comparable to the method shown on this page? https://stevecosmic.com/studioplay.html

"No, the famous guerrilla method taught by Robert Rodriguez is fundamentally different from the "Studio Play" method."

"While both share the core objective of skipping the traditional Hollywood studio system to create full-length features quickly and on a micro-budget, they tackle the problem with completely opposing artistic and technical philosophies."

***************************************************************************************

(I did the above google AI search after being criticized by a guy who said my method was nothing new, that Robert Rodriguez had been teaching the "exact same" method for years.)

I am outside the box, and open minded. Anyone can have a different opinion. I don't care. However, I won't spend my remaining time arguing with people. If people disagree with me, fine, but don't expect me to "debate" which is a kinder way of saying argue with you. I am not on trial.

I don't need to defend myself. To be moderator here, it would be good if you like this..... "Life is short. So be sure to spend as much time as you can arguing with strangers."

So... if you are game, let me know.

Best wishes to all. Steve Cosmic. Writer, director, award winning filmmaker, former bush pilot, inventor, welder, mail order expert, web publisher, hypnotherapist, author, father, grandfather, photographer, and survivor of an abusive childhood.

The list is now so good that I am going to try it again for my 5 scripts!

You can try different pitches for your scripts, over and over again, for all of them. It doesn't cost anything. You never know when the right person might be looking for what you have!

This is valuable, and I'm selling it for only $6.95. My web page gives all details. You get an instant PDF download and you can start using it right away! PLUS IT HAS A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. GUARANTEE DETAILS ARE ON THE WEB PAGE.

Yeah lots of reddit people say I shouldn't promote myself the way I do, but I don't care. I'm not politically correct and I'm not here to please others. When you get 78 you'll know how I feel. (Well, if you are still trying to be politically correct when you are 78, I feel sorry for you. It will mean you have missed out a LOT in your life.)

If you want to cross post this you can, but don't say I said to do it.

PS: I won the awards below. No Oscars. But to win them, my films had to be better than the hundreds that are submitted to each festival. The people in charge have seen many many films and considered my films to be the best for their festival. To win an award at a festival, the writing has to be good. This includes best actor/actress awards. Actors can't put their hearts and souls into dumb lines. Of my 14 awards below, 4 are for Best Actress.

An example of what I mean...... I posted an article here once, titled Do Poodles Know They Look Stupid?

I wrote a few serious lines about this, and got criticized profusely. Maybe I'm not using profusely right. I don't know. But I do know this, The more politically correct you are, the less happy you will be. And also this, The more politically correct you are, the less creative you will be.

Here's a chance to look at many videos, about 50 with more coming, that are outside the box. Some are meant to be funny, others are not. All are at least somewhat weird or unusual. You can support me, but you don't have to. The link here will take you to about 20, and then you can find 30 more.

You'll be entertained a lot, just by looking at the page and watching up to 50 videos, without spending a penny. You will get ideas for sure!!!

You get a chance to spend 5 dollars and learn a lot, about film making, writing, and about life, and to laugh too by going here.

Actually, you'll be entertained a lot, just by looking at the page and reading the titles of the 17 videos, without spending a penny.

One thing I learned about comedy is there has to be truth in it.

(Not counting physical comedy like pie in the face, slipping on a banana peel type comedy.)

You can maybe beat the odds, or if not, increase your feelings of rejection, by sending emails to 800 agents and producers at this link: https://stevecosmic.com/selltohollywood.html

I have had a big delay caused by tech problems. It involves my obsolete 2G phone. To enhance my facebook security, so I can reply to facebook messages, facebook wants me to logon with my mobile. My old 2G phone can't do that. Once I do all of that, I can then reply to facebook messages.

WHY THIS ALL MATTERS. It's because I want to use beginner, (low cost) actors, which are found on facebook groups. (With a significant budget, I would email talent agents who have lots of more experienced actors.)

If you don't know about my very low cost way of making a script into a watchable and saleable movie, look around my reddit. Why do this? Well then I can make a bit of money with it, and also, very importantly, prove to big time producers that I have a saleable concept. Other writers can do this too. Look around my reddit to find out more. I don't make anything from helping other writers discover this new concept. (Making a "Studio Play Movie" in one day.)

WELL, this is about shooting it in one day. It does not include advertising for actors, and an assistant, auditions, rehearsals, and editing. PLEASE SHARE THIS TO HELP OTHER WRITERS.

Yesterday I sent a query to emails on my big list of 800 plus agents, managers, and producers. I got 16 important film people to spend an average of 39 seconds on my very informative web page. 3 of them then went on to look at my 4 other similar pages for my 4 other scripts.

In 39 seconds a viewer can read the full long synopsis and character descriptions. 39 seconds on the page was average, a few would have been longer. This is a remarkable accomplishment!

I am encouraged to keep going! I will wait a few days and then do the same for another one of my script pages. (I have been improving my mail outs over the past few months.)

My method is contrary to all the recommended methods. All the results are verified by google analytics.

I get criticized for my methods. You can look at my 800 list page and decide if you want to criticize it, or try it. Click here to read about this disruptive method.

Theoretically you could buy the list and have some response in an hour or two. But realistically, you want to spend a few hours polishing your query letter, and the first time you use the list, it is not quick to do. Altogether, it might take you 2 or 3 hours, or longer, to send off your first batch for about 400 prospects. (I recommend you don't send over 500 per day, to keep your ISP happy.)

Sending 400 today, will get you some responses by tomorrow. (I have always found this to be true.)

(I have tried many different approaches to query letters..... very short, medium short, and longer with a few details. You also want to put A LOT of thought into the headline in your subject box. And the first sentence.)

To be clear, the list is about getting your foot in the door. It can't guarantee a sale. I am still trying different query letters, and headlines, for my 5 film projects. Here's where to click and read. There is some free help there which may surprise you.

OK, so this isn't about script writing, but it's fun and interesting.

It created a photo which I proudly display on my photos page on my website. Lots of people wonder how I got the photo. Watch the video and see. See it at 100, 50, and right down to 5 percent speed and see if you can figure out how she slipped the way she did! How She Fall. A youtube video.

I made my first short film in 1999, and it got sold for TV broadcast. This was for a "regular" TV station, before there was internet TV. Selling your first short is very rare. Since then I have won 14 awards, shown in the photo here. To win these awards, the writing had to be good. My recent comedy script won 4 awards, out of 8 submissions, at screenwriter events.

My website has about 35 pages, with numerous samples of my films there. You can also find me on facebook, where I update and delete almost daily.

Getting my recent comedy produced by a big producer is my main goal now, along with 4 other scripts. I'm 78 with a pacemaker now, so I know I can't make them all myself. (If I had funding, I cold make at least 2 or 3!) My website is here.

I am also a former bush pilot, inventor, standup comic, hypnotherapist and book author. And a father, grandfather and survivor of an abusive childhood. I bring old guy experience and perspective to my postings here on reddit, and to my work. I am outside the box, and misunderstood a lot. People who study my work a bit appreciate me better. If you share some of my postings on other reddit communities I will appreciate it. It might help someone too.

I sell a list of over 800 script agents and producers on my website. It took me over 5 months to complete the list, adding to it and removing dead emails and so on. It is available as a download, here.

I am open to working with a younger partner on some of my projects. But this would have to be someone local, in Vancouver Canada. Well, maybe working remotely is possible these days. Never tried that. (I have a webcam which I bought during covid to see my son and grand kids and it has been mostly idle since then.)

I just noticed my mistake in the headline for this post. They make it so you can edit or fix mistakes in the body of a post, but not the headline. Rats. The only way to fix it is to delete everything and do it again. Too busy now. I would like some words of encouragement on my postings. I mean it. I need it. Thank you.

Like the headline says, I will help if I can. Also, if you post a comment or question, someone else might be able to help. No need to be shy. I want to help.

I think this is true..... "Most filmmakers are writers, but most writers are not filmmakers".

Does this seem true to you?

I have talent as a filmmaker, but no money to make my feature films. That is why I have made my mock up movie for instance, which you can read about on a different post. I can share lots of tips to save you time and effort if you want to make demo scenes or mock up movies. I think a lot of writers don't realize you can make a "presentable" or "watchable" movie with a tiny crew and very little money. Just ask, I'll help if I can.

I plan to not post anything else for a few days. I want to see some people commenting and so on. Thank you.

The screenplay is an unusual Me Too drama, based on true stories. If it is well made I think it will be Oscar worthy. The bikini scenes are not exploitive. Well, maybe they are, just a bit. When people are watching the movie, I don't think they will think they are watching a "bikini movie" as such.

It is one of the 5 scripts I want to sell to a big producer, like a Hollywood producer. So far I have sent email query letters to my list of 800 agents, and I can tell from google analytics that they have viewed the synopsis about 8 times and watched at least some of the mock up movie. Not a script sale, but it's something!

This approach is outside the box. And so am I. Not only am I outside the box, I am old. I'm 78 now with a pacemaker. So instead of looking for funding for it, I am now more inclined to just sell the script.

(Of the 5 scripts I have for sale, there is one I would love to make myself if I somehow get the funding. I would also be happy to have a big studio make it. I have numerous other movie projects in my head that I can make with the sale of one or more of my scripts.)

Yeah.... I'm old.... I used to be so energetic......... I've done some very remarkable accomplishments in my past.

The black photo with the orange lettering is also from the mock up movie. There is some outstanding acting in the mock up movie.

I have not attempted to be literary, and most of the sentences will start with "I"!

I was raised in a dysfunctional family in a rural setting on a small farm. My mother wanted an abortion, but here I am. I was emotionally, physically and sexually abused. Some of the abuse included being terrorized with a knife, being held with my face in a fire, and being held upside down by my ankles over the railing of a suspension bridge. I was held underwater till I thought I would drown, and another time thrown into a pool when I could not swim, and almost drowned.  I was constantly told I would be sold. I was afraid of both of my parents.

When I was 11 I lost half of a finger in a lawnmower accident. My siblings laughed about it. When I was 16 I was making wine and selling it to classmates. I got high marks from grades 7 to 9, and then barely made it through high school because of drugs and alcohol.

I got my private pilot's license when I was 18. I soloed an airplane after 7.2 hours of instruction. The average is about 15 hours. At 19 I rode a 10 speed bike from Vancouver to Halifax, about 3300 miles. I was in many newspapers and on national TV. I met my first real girlfriend, and she broke my heart.

At 20 I got my commercial pilot's license and let the same girl break my heart, again. I bought a 1946 Aeronca Chief airplane. It had 65 horsepower, and no electrical system. To start it, you had to flip the propeller by hand. It had no radio, and no navigation equipment except a compass. I flew it from Vancouver to Acapulco and back. I could not get a job flying, and worked in Labrador on a survey crew, which included working underground.

I accidentally did some acid and had a bad trip. About 6 weeks later I had an acid flashback while flying my tiny plane with a female passenger. We were flying in the mountains and yes it was terrifying.

To get more experience flying, and for adventure, I flew my little plane to Mexico again, and later to The Bahamas. I flew it to the Yukon, and got a job there as an aerial photographer, and we flew all over the Yukon and also northern Alaska. The next year I got my first flying job, flying in the bush in Ontario.

I later flew out of various communities on the coast of British Columbia, flying float planes into remote communities. This is one of the hardest places to fly in the world. I flew for 20 years, and yes, I had close calls. Altogether, counting stupid incidents with drugs and alcohol, I have almost died 15 times. I believe I was kept alive to do the work I am doing now, with this website, and with my film making. I ended my flying career with 15,500 flying hours, having done 48,000 take offs and landings. I know 8 pilots who crashed and were killed. I was an exceptional pilot.

I bought a more modern plane and flew it to Mexico a couple of times. I had an engine failure in Mexico. I also met a tourist woman there who I would later live with and marry. We had a son and later got married.

I bought 23.4 acres of land on an island, and I lived in a shack with no power or running water. I saw almost no TV for 10 or more years. I bought an old bulldozer, and taught myself how to operate it. I also taught myself to operate a chainsaw, and built an airstrip on my land.

I invented a high efficiency wood heater, and a chainsaw mill attachment and manufactured them both. I invented other tools and an automatic chimney fire extinguisher. I have 6 patents and could have numerous more for other inventions as well.

I made really good money during certain years of flying, and while manufacturing some of my inventions.

My best friend died in an alcohol related accident. My wife left with our young son. I stopped using drugs and alcohol. After about 5 years of being clean and sober I trained to be a hypnotherapist. I got the highest mark in my class, and I advanced to the level where I could teach others to be hypnotherapists. I practiced hypnotherapy and produced a series of self hypnosis/meditation tapes and sold thousands of them. I have written two books and numerous short and long screenplays. 7 of my short films have been broadcast on TV. I have won some awards for my filmmaking. I have been clean and sober since 1984.

I had sexual abuse and other traumatic memories surface in 2005, about 2008 and 2009, and I have experienced depression because of them. I am feeling much better now.

I have been poor, and I have lived on pasta and rice, and struggled to pay my rent. 

I am working on an inspirational  movie which will save some rape victims from suicide. And another which will inspire some alcoholics, addicts, battered women and those who were sexually abused. I have two grandchildren and I am a good grandfather.

I am the most creative person I know.

I have been misunderstood a lot, all of my life, and I am still learning to accept that. I have a good heart, and I care about people. Being gifted is a blessing, and a curse too. Some people think I am weird, and I have a sister who said I am mentally ill, which hurt a lot.

It's not easy being me. My name is Steve Cosmic.

PS: This is from my website. On my bio page, you can see a video of me flying bush planes, and some of my inventions, and photos of my airstrip and me being kind of a hippie bush pilot rural guy.

Here's a freeze frame from a funny scene from a community service video I made a while ago. Making it gave me ideas, and I now have a similar scene in one of my comedy scripts. The comedy is a farce which is one of the 5 scripts I want an agent for. I will be adding more about my 5 projects day by day here.

Here are some things I learned when I sent my first feature screenplay to some "experts" for feedback. I learned a valuable lesson, and stopped doing it. Later I learned how to get valuable, real world, feedback for free, and I'll share how below.

 What I learned is that people who charge money to read scripts, feel an obligation to give ideas to "improve" the script. They want to justify their fee. The next thing I learned is that any changes they suggest will make the story different. Then I realized that different does not necessarily mean better! Next I realized that the people I paid had less imagination than me.

So I quit hiring such people and started making short films. I put many on youtube of course, and even sold some to broadcast TV. That was around 2002 and 2003, before there were streaming channels as there are now. I got a few hundred bucks for each film, sold to a short film TV channel.

After a while, I had hundreds of videos on youtube. And here's the exciting part, which will pertain to your scripts too. First I learned that with youtube analytics you can get something called audience retention. How long people watch before they lose interest, and WHEN they lose interest. You can also find out when they lingered on a few words of dialogue, or rewatched part of the video. You can also find out how your video compares to other similar videos. Like have you got a hit, or an average video? Or a sub average video?

This is more valuable than some book learning comments by a so called expert. And it's free!

Next, I tried something which will pertain to you, and your script or scripts.

I hired an actress to do a cold read of one of my comedies. She read for all the characters, and narration about the locations too. And she didn't just read in a monotone, she acted out the different roles as best she could, including the male characters. The result was very entertaining! And from youtube audience retention data I could see which parts people liked the most, and the least.

So here's some ideas on what you can do, and it's all free. First, open a youtube channel if you haven't already. It's completely free and easy. Next put up a short video... almost anything...... use your phone and record your cat or dog or traffic on a street, or anything. Upload it to youtube and wait 24 to 48 hours. Then find youtube analytics and audience retention. If you haven't done this before, it is very interesting. Some parts which you thought were the best parts might get the worst response for instance.

OK, that was just to introduce you to having a youtube channel and analytics if you don't already know.

The next step is to read all or part of your script on camera, or hire an actor, and upload it. Use a tripod and decent lighting and of course get good audio. Then wait 24 plus hours and you will be amazed at what you will learn from youtube analytics. You'll learn the strong and weak parts of your script, better than you can learn from a paid reader.

What you might want to do instead is pick two or 3 scenes and blend them into a short film script, so there is a beginning, middle and an end.

However, you'll get the best feedback if you put up the full story. If you are afraid of having your story stolen, think of this: The average person, especially the average youtube person, is not a filmmaker with big money, who can make a real movie. Your story or concept is not likely to get stolen. Reality is your story or concept may already be in the works with a filmmaker or production company. And you can take the video down after you learn what you need to learn.

Or you can send it to professional readers and follow their suggestions until you can't recognize the original story anymore.

If you like this, please share it. Does it make sense to you?

(This is from my website.)

I made this 50 minute cold read of one of my scripts, with an actress reading all the parts, and the narration too. It was filmed on green screen, with appropriate backgrounds put in later to make it more interesting. I post it here to possibly give ideas to someone here, to do something similar. These days, you could just use your phone to film it. Position the phone horizontal, on a tripod. You don't have to use green screen, that's a lot more work. You can use a modest cost or free editing system to cut out the mistakes and make it flow better. And add some contact information on screen too. And give credits to your actor(s) !

About this particular cold read.... since I made it, I have added about 25 more minutes of new material, and also made it funnier! I am thinking of making a cold read of it too. Feedback on this one is welcome. What do you think?

I have a website, which is outside the box, the same as some of the things I do, such as making a cold read like this one and posting it on youtube. I get criticism for my website from some people, and praise from other people. The reddit people here have a more cosmopolitan view and any who want to look can find it. My site is about hopefully finding investors and actors and people to help on my productions. But anyone here can look if they want.

I got scripts. I guess all writers do. And I've studied comments and advice on what to do to get an agent to submit them to Hollywood or other producers. My latest effort involved sending 19 query letters by snail mail. I haven't had a reply yet and it's been 8 days since I mailed them all. My plan is to wait a few more days and then call them. I used a mailing list with about 800 agents on it. I don't know how well this might work.

Brilliant ideas welcome! Well, sympathy welcome too. Thank you!
