  1. Have recently found that a logline posting on something like Screenplay Fest Philadelphia is helpful and interesting because it prompts an on-going discussion about one’s logline and so, to some extent, your screenplay.

    However, have not yet had anything in the way of contact from a production company or agent. Yet.

  2. Hello

    I´m author of several works like: Reality tv game show´s.

    Account Accounting – Tv game show about mathematic
    Politic correct- TV program wich teachs and explain the several kind of political systems and charges
    Synopses and one short script for animation to chieldren and one short script for erotic film.
    There are lot of works.

    • Hi Jorge,
      Have you get any production house or an agent for your script? I am also searching for my scripts.

      Regards
      Deep

  3. probably a silly question but running up against the brick walls and stiff arms concerning trying to acquire agent representation for my original TV series programming, multiple programs that is, I’m curious though are these listed contacts just contacts for someone that already has an agent I am finding it remarkably difficult to get an agent to pedal my wares. my apologies for the lack of punctuation, etcetera this was sent via phone voice text

  4. I apparently am the only one who needs an agent to present a sport concept for an entity such as ESPN and the Red Bull projects. I have been searching all of the agencies listed and cannot locate a single agent who is willing to even look at this program. Any recommendations?

  5. Queried Bee Holder Productions and received a request the next day for my screenplay. I’ve done some research on the company and I’m hoping they see my vision and decide to move forward.

  6. I find it very difficult to sign any kind of agreement that allows the company you’re submitting to free reign to steal your story under the guise of the infamous “similar or identical” clause.

    “I acknowledge that you receive numerous submissions, and that many submissions are similar or identical to those developed by you or otherwise available to you… I agree that I will not be entitled to any compensation because of the use by you of any such similar or identical material.”

    It’s a two way street when submitting your material. The company wants to cover its butt. You want to protect your material. DON’T SIGN ANY KIND OF “RELEASE” FORM UNTIL YOU GET PAID!

  7. “I acknowledge that you receive numerous submissions, and that many submissions are similar or identical to those developed by you or otherwise available to you… I agree that I will not be entitled to any compensation because of the use by you of any such similar or identical material.”

    I know! This is really scary. How can anyone accept this and willingly give them so much power?

  8. I found this list of companies as a gift from Heavens, It’s very informative, friendly, encouraging and, and much more. Thanks to the people who posted it.

  9. Wow! This, I will say… It’s a blessing… I have dug sites, written queries to several emails, name it when you have those specs piling up and you feel worthless and giving up. I am glad for this site because some people have made successes through this site and I have the faith, strongly that I too will get my scripts bought through this site.
    I have tons of wonderful scripts with brilliant ideas and twists but I haven’t been in the right places for 13 years of search…I am bookmarking! 🙂

  10. I emailed all of the email addresses provided who would possibly be interested in a script like mine. I avoided the email addresses of the mentioned by others in the comments as being un-deliverable. The one that was kicked back was from mail@burnsideentertainment.com of Burnside Entertainment, Inc. Thank you so much for sharing this information!!!!

      • Also, the zip code on this address was wrong:

        21. Jack Scagnetti Talent &
        Literary Agency
        5118 Vineland Ave., Ste. 106
        North Hollywood CA 91607
        Principals: Jack Scagnetti
        How to contact: Mail only, do not call

        the correct zip code is: 91601

        • Thank you! My sister and I are a writing team and have three completed comedy screenplays. We have had a difficult time finding companies and people to reach out to. You are appreciated!

  11. PS: I noticed a couple of people concerned about the contract asked to sign about “similar” works; I would think people here have done so already, but if not, register work with the WGAW first and put the registration number on the query letter.

    • Rarely since the time of posting. It’s best to cross reference them with places like LinkedIn or Done Deal Pro to see if the people still work there or companies are still going by the same name.

  12. It’s really a great and useful piece of information. I am glad that you shared this helpful information with us.
    Please stay us informed like this. Thank you for sharing.

  13. iIm glad I got a chance to wiew the video I really think the script I wrote will grab someones eye I really worked hard on this script

  14. Mostly all old emails and addresses, a waste of time trying to email this OLD data. Obviously the players are there, need the fresh info… P.S. Dont do what I did and pay a co to blast your query letter to thousands of agents/producers…

  15. How to write script, longline, synopsis, and characters? what studio here is best for animation like Lion Guard or Watership Down as Netflix made

  16. This list was pretty helpful. I took the time to look up every company on here to see if they’re still accepting submissions the same way (if at all), verify contact info and just to see if they still even exist. So far, I’ve submitted a handful of queries via email and am in the process of mailing out queries and sases to those that only accept queries via snail mail.
    Every bit of info helps.
