Understanding the market for Hollywood scripts adapted from books
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThis project examined the market for Hollywood scripts adapted from books. Using research through book, internet, and semi-structured interviews with directors, producers, and scriptwriters we found that the value chain in script marketing usually consists of a producer selling an adaptation to a studio, then hiring a scriptwriter. Otherwise a screenwriter must promote himself more than his script to gain a solid reputation. Without an agent, the success rate of a producer seeing a script is significantly reduced.
