If you've written a
screenplay, novel, or just have a really great idea you want to pitch,
it can be frustrating trying to break through all of the Hollywood red
tape. It can be equally frustrating trying to find financing to produce a
film or pilot yourself.
But here's an option you may not have considered... the stage.
While
Broadway is currently as hamstrung as Hollywood when it comes to
lockdowns and restrictions, there are plenty of regional and local
theaters hungry for good plays and musicals.
Consider rewriting
that screenplay for the stage, then pitch it to a few of your local
theater groups, or even high schools and colleges.
If you're really lucky, like I was, you'll find a professional musician to partner with.
I'm
currently working with Jim Cummings of Soundstage 1 Productions on a
musical adaptation of my young adult novel, Noggle Stones. This has been
perhaps the best decision I've ever made in my writing career. The plot
and characters of Noggle Stones are perfect for the platform of
traditional musical theater.
So, if you're tired of beating your
head against those Hollywood studio doors, consider theater as an
alternative for getting your vision brought to life.
