In this video, I share how I made over $100,000 on the very first professional script I sold—and how you can do it too! I break down the key factors that led to my success: years of industry experience, picking the right genre, and leveraging strong agent connections. But here’s the thing—you don’t need an agent to sell your script. I’ll explain practical steps you can take, from targeting the right producers to attending film festivals and getting your screenplay noticed. The fact I can now work as a script consultant didn't happen overnight and the craft of screenwriting to make the best movies is something that takes time. The movie is made with the script.
