Do you have a fan-tas-great screenplay that you just, just, just have to share with the world?! Yeah, well get it line!
Each year indigent writers all over the country print out nearly 180 million sheets of paper in an effort to sell their big idea. That’s a lot of trees, yo!
Good news for you that there’s finally a way to exercise that creativity without revving up the chainsaw.
GreenWriter.org is a new service with one specific goal: provide a place for screenwriters to freely upload their work paper-free. We like!
Not only will this service help save countless resources, but Green Writer creator Daniel Riser also hopes it will serve as a global platform to connect good writers with movie-makers. He says:
“There is a huge brick wall separating actors (even A list) from great material because of self-interest groups within the studio system, Riser said. Greenwriter.org tears down that wall by marketing directly to actors to find screenplays written specifically for them.”
What do you think about this idea? Could this be the future of script selling? Chime in and share your thoughts!
Using recycled paper or paper made out of hemp and similar materials works too. We should be using that instead of tree paper.
It’s an interesting approach. Need I remind everyone that we have yet to see a single fashion magazine write about Model Mayhem, a website now used by every teenage girl aspiring to be a model to meet photographers and develop their portfolio. Great models are constantly discovered on Model Mayhem, yet nobody in the fashion industry talks about it, because MM cuts out the middle man, the modeling agencies. A way for writers to get their scripts in the hands of actors, bypassing agents and managers, will meet tremendous resistance. I can’t wait to read about the fallout. This is great.
