Could you make profitable contacts today - with just an old hand-cranked telephone?

Meanwhile, I don't really know anyone who's sold a movie or TV project, but I do have a "friend of a friend" who's done it. The friend of a friend (who I don't know personally) is a novelist. His first novel "Syrup" was turned into a movie. I heard that George Clooney bought the film rights to another of his books...

All I know is, there's big bucks in selling your movie rights to Hollywood... His particular pathway was to write the novels first, but of course, it can be done other ways too...

Best wishes,

I'm lucky in that...our area has quite a few Hollywood types, so it could be a friend of a friend sort of thing.

I have one direct Hollywood connection, and several two to three degrees
of separation, many from my younger siblings and/or kids who seem to be in touch with their friends.

Stories, novels, novellas are always good ways, as are spec scripts. But there is a huge market for fleshed out ideas, which may have a treatment or outline or spec script, or something for a particular person.

I want to generate ideas, find compatible "partners" of sorts, and have minimal involvement in the process.

Sounds good, and just FYI, iffin I did get JLaw's digits, are you crazy enough to think I'd share? I love ya buddy, but...sometimes you come up with the craziest ideas (share her number??! SHEESH)
