Screenplays for Christendom Studios

How to Get Your Script Read
 
Christendom Studios intends to be underway far before the physical 100 sound stages and so on are built.

Christendom Studios intends to be underway before, during and after the first Boycott Settlement Meetings (read: surrender ceremony) in Los Angeles at a public venue such as the Inglewood Forum.

Shocking to the secular humanist Hollywood bourgeoisie, Christendom Studios intends to hold open pitch days.

And, even worse, to review screenplays for a modest sum.

The Writer's Guild of America really really does not approve of this practice.  The Writer's Guild of American, supposedly an organization of people of intellect, has been and remains complicitly silent about Genocide Against Christians in Sudan.  We owe them nothing.  To hell with them.  If they wish to fight - bring it on.

Ever filled with unchristian charitable impulses, Hollywood finds the act of charging for screenplay consideration to be scandalous, shocking and perverted. Disgusting. Inartistic. Horrific. Barbaric. Typical hypocrisy from Christians.

Sounds good to us! We’ll do it!

To get your screenplay read and to receive a written, seriously considered review, contact Terrence at

ChristendomStudios@Gathering-of-Eagles.com

Screenplays must be 120 pages or so.

You can register your screenplay online at
http://www.wga.org/registration/

Put your Registration Number on the cover.

Keep a copy of your screenplay for certain – both paper and external memory if your computer crashes. The Studio is not your backup file system.

Page i

On Page i: describe the audience for the motion picture or television movie of your screenplay. This can be from every human being on the planet earth (for example for Titanic) to the inner city to twenty something women who want to get married.  Whatever.  Know what you are doing.

Include your contact information including email address on the cover.

Your screenplay will not be returned except if you include a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

For the United States, an enclosed Priority Mail Flat Rate envelope works fine.

If you have not yet typed your screenplay:
You are best off using professional writer’s software:
http://www.writersstore.com/

If your screenplay has not yet been typed: at the bottom of each five pages you must put the following:

The AUDIENCE HOOK is: (describe what it is in a sentence).

If there is no hook, save your money.

Send us no Christian Ghetto screenplays. No insipid, pasty characters who have a vague spiritual angst….. Save your money! We don’t read such crap, female poetry minstrel show boy!

Write kick-ass, over the top stories. Make sure that your characters are in real jeopardy, not namby-pamby jeopardy. Get a lovely protagonist killed. Do something!

Your script must have narrative drive.  If your story does not have narrative drive, then it is not a screenplay.  It is free verse.  Submit it to Poetry Review.

Your screenplay must also have some resonance, some connection to what is going on in the culture, even if something unsuspected, under the surface.

What a screenplay is

Your screenplay is not a literary product.  Your script is a business plan.  Get used to it.  Your screenplay is an extremely ambitious attempt by you wonderful you to get other people to put up perhaps $50,000,000 or $100,000,000 or more to film your business plan. 

You have to get real.

On Page i of your screenplay you must put:

Guesstimate cost of production: $______________________ 
Your guesstimate must be in increments of $10,000,000. 

See Internet Movie Database: www.imdb.com


Cost of production with advertising and marketing: (add 50% to your guesstimate cost of production): $ ___________________________

Guesstimate U.S. theatrical gross: _____________________________

Guesstimate non-U.S. theatrical gross: _________________________

The Christendom Studios Screenplay Reviewers will each include their own predictions for these numbers.

There are maybe 10,000 spoken words per screenplay.  At a $100,000,000 dollar budget, this is $10,000 per word.  You want investors to put up $10,000 for each one of your words. 

Have you carefully written each syllable of each of your $10,000 words?

On Pages i and ii, describe whether your screenplay can enjoy ancillary products as well.  Can it be the basis for a video game, toys, promotions.  If it is a movie script, can it be the basis of a television series?

If you have a message to humanity from your gigantic intellect, write a book.

A $100,000,000 motion picture is one of the most damn fool unlikely ways to send a message that the human mind can conceive. It is easier to go to the moon and send smoke signals.

A book is cheap to publish, can get you speaker fees and fame for life. Write a book and send it in to Christendom Books, a to-be-created publisher from tl is one of the most damn fool unlikely ways to send a message that can be conceived. Write a book and send it in to Christendom Books, a to-be-created publisher from The Largest Boycott in History

Screenplay Review Rates are based on requested Review Length in 500-word increments; and, number of reviewers.

Regardless, every screenplay is discussed roundtable even if only briefly.

Better, every screenplay review is archived at Christendom Studios, including the turn-downs.

Feedback: You do get an opportunity to feedback to the Christendom Studios Review, a permanent file. 1,000 words plus $1.00 a word for any words in excess. Rage, horror and disbelief at total Christendom Studios stupidity cost money.

If Christendom Studios is interested in purchasing your screenplay, you will first get a Hollywood talent agent to represent you.

Christendom Studios is committed, when it gets financing, to paying $2,000,000 for at least one of these screenplays per year - when this makes economic sense for the Studio in its view. So you might become a millionaire after taxes.

Screenplays for Christendom Studios

More useful notes:
 
Every Screenplay submitted to Christendom Studios must, if only to enrage Hollywood, be divided into Act I, the Setup, Act II, the Confrontation, Act III, the Resolution.

Boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back, whoop-de-poop.

Ref. the books Screenplay by Syd Field, and Story by Robert McEntee.

The rage becomes super-rage, purple-pulsating veins rage:

Christendom Studios will use a system in which the readers of the screenplay do not know the name of the writer. Not the writer’s name, gender be it male or female or Hollywood, ethnicity, race, political perversion, place of residence even if it be in flyover country.

The screenplay must stand on its own and grab attention unto itself.

Though if it’s a love-crap thing you know anyway that some broad wrote it. No guy’s going to go see it.
