I spent last night binding scripts. The result? The most paper cuts I have ever gotten in my life. But it is totally worth it.
I had an interesting conversation with a colleague of mine who is an independent producer. We were discussing the length of scripts and he reminded me about how distribution affects what scripts go into production. You are better off writing a project under 100 pages. Let me explain. Distributors make their money back from the number of screening a film does per theater. Meaning a percent of tickets sales and the snacks. So a script that is 95 pages long is more likely to be picked up than one that is 120 pages because a distributor can get more screening times in hence it is an easier film to sell.
Something to ponder about as I bind more scripts.
