i have never sold a script. But i know its really tough to sell one without an agent. If this is your first script you might want to just get it made into a movie, wheather you make it yourself or you give it to somebody you know to make it wont matter. I would suggest just getting your early scripts turned into movies and have them put into festivals so your name gets out there. Plus if some of you scripts get turned into award winning movies you have some credit when you go to look for an agent. If it isnt your first script i would suggest getting a agent ASAP if you are planning to make this a career. Good Luck.

"Anyone who has ever been privileged to direct a film also knows that, although it can be like trying to write 'War and Peace' in a bumper car in an amusement park, when you finally get it right, there are not many joys in life that can equal the feeling." - Stanley Kubrick

I have.

You're right. Very few producers or prodCo's will accept what are called unsolicited scripts and no one will read a treatment. That's why you need an agent.

There is no direction to point you in because there is no one path to selling a script. Since you have already checked the agents in your area, it's time to check agents outside your area. You don't need to move to call agencies.

My advice is to make sure your script is the best you can make it and that you have at least three, great, finished scripts before looking for an agent. Five would be better.

I have already started writing my second script. I've given up on the agents in my area. Does anybody have any contacts with film agents? Their location is not longer important.
