Mine does, and when I submitted my stuff, it was one 30 minute telly episode, and one 90 minute film script. If the agent does both, then it does no harm to submit both types, in fact it's probably better, I reckon. And plenty of TV movies ended up getting a cinema release, so the line isn't as clear as it used to be.James Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949906302217025023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400514519057660990.post-88132036255999991382007-05-01T08:27:00.000+01:002007-05-01T08:27:00.000+01:00But my outstanding haiku skills were the main reas...But my outstanding haiku skills were the main reason Clay and Tom gave me the job! :-o<BR/><BR/>Good point. In this country, I mainly want to write for TV, so hmmm... perhaps I should fashion a new TV script. It'll be good experience too, naturally. Guess it just struck me that if one of my screenplays was a valid submission to help secure an agent, then I should use it. *rubs chin*Jason Arnopphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876042845400963850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400514519057660990.post-66240562489119483932007-05-01T08:00:00.000+01:002007-05-01T08:00:00.000+01:00I'm no expert, but a great script's still a great ...I'm no expert, but a great script's still a great script, right? The samples are about proving you can write, have a unique voice and are a marketable talent for the agency.<BR/><BR/>I guess it also depends on what you want to write: TV or movies. Exaggerated-for-effect example: if you want to work for DWM, you don't send them haiku as writing samples.DAVID BISHOPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342376036664282348noreply@blogger.com
