If you find getting anyone to pay attention or, worse yet, are baffled by your inability to interpret a seemingly cryptic response, this class will give you the tricks and tips of the trade to get you on the inside track. That is because there's nothing more important to the success of your spec script, screenplay or movie than to understand "Hollywood speak" and all of its nuances. And it's the one thing you can't fake, or cover up with flash or pleasantries -- you either know it or you don't.
Industry professionals know in two minutes if they are dealing with industry savvy writers and filmmakers, because they all speak the same language.
Do You Know Hollywood's Definition of a Spec Script?
Don't be caught making the mistake of pitching a producer or a representative letting them know that you have an exciting new spec, referring to a recent project you've written that you feel has potential in the market' only to have your script get "lost"? Sound familiar? Or you start to gain headway, and then have communications or negotiations come to a grinding halt. What happened?
Pitching and craft is what most books and programs teach, but there has been no one else teaching career until now. The good news about your career confusion is, it's not your fault...
THE HELP YOU NEED IS AVAILABLE!
Philippa's teleseminars address the things you were never taught. There is a better way to work in Hollywood. This class will teach you how.

The course is filled with practical tips for understanding the roles of different people and companies in the industry and provides a number of useful tips on 'insider terminology'.

Over the last few years, as I've made my way into the business, I've been quite voracious in absorbing information from multiple sources, but I've learned a great deal from Philippa that I've never heard elsewhere. Within months of taking her Million-Dollar Screenwriting Career course, my writer partner and I secured representation from the respected management firm Circle of Confusion. It was our writing that attracted their attention, but the professional confidence and insights I learned from Philippa helped seal the deal." - John Zussman, Screenwriter
