Im 15 and I have a great idea for a movie, I would like to submit it to Hollywood or a movie producer to get it on the "big screen". So how do i go about doing this?|||A good idea is not enough. Hollywood is full of good ideas, the difficulty is taking the new step and turning a good idea into good films. For this you need a screenplay and an agent who can generate enough interest to get your script read. Even then you will have an uphill struggle to get your voice heard as producers cannot accept unsolicitated material because of the risk of litigation. Every year 20,000 new screenplays are registered with the writers guild,but only a 1000 films are made, and when you take into account that many of these films were based on screenplays written years ago, you can see that getting a movie made is akin to winning the jackpot prize in the lottery. My advice is to write the screenplay as best as you can, even if takes years. Polish it up until you cannot improve on it. Then send it to as many agents are possible. If they are not interested no producer will give you a second glance. You should take a course in screenplay writing or read a few books on the subject as Hollywood is very particular about how it wants its scripts written.|||Best course of action: don't. Studios hardly ever listen to peoples' ideas; they'll only read the scripts, and if they like them, they greenlight them. And if they did, would you want someone taking your idea and making it their own?
My recommendation? Write a full-length script for your idea, try to get it noticed. Try to find people with connections to get it out there. Also, there's sites like Amazon Studios (http://studios.amazon.com/) to help your script get out there. I don't particularly recommend that site (because Amazon has the right to take creative control over your script once you submit it), but it is a way to at least get some exposure.
