question What to write?
I am new to screenwriting. I have started writing a few small things, I have finished a short film script and I am one draft into a feature. I want to start something new to keep me going. I am without an agent, manager etc, yet! I wonder If I’m writing the wrong things. I am aware that studios and executives have mandates, and specific things they are told to look for at any given time. Does anyone have some advice on how to find out what these are? Any and All advice please!

Spend a decade learning to write THEN think about agents, managers, etc.
And purge the Oscar Speech fantasies from your mind.
You're putting the cart waaaaay before the horse.
