Hollywood Insider Secret! Shhhhh.0:54
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER SECRET!
If you aren't "inside" Hollywood, it can be tough to understand the current market like people who are "inside." But I can change that!

Shhhhh.... here is a secret:)
I mentioned you should read produced scripts.
But what about the hottest scripts in Hollywood that HAVEN'T been produced? Once a script is produced, the script is anywhere from two to FIFTY (or more) years old!
Want to read current hot scripts in Hollywood?
Like an INSIDER?
Usually these are only available to agents, managers and producers. But YOU can read them too!
How?
I mentioned earlier, the "Black List" - that's the list that comes out each year of the scripts that are considered the hottest spec scripts that circulated Hollywood each year.
Wouldn't it be awesome to get your hands on those?
You can!
There are people who have access to these scripts and put them online in dropboxes and other places on the web to share with others who want to use them for "educational purposes."
Simply google something like "Black List scripts download"
OR "Where to download Black List scripts"
OR "2019 Black List scripts download"
OR "Download all black list scripts 2019"

And you will find them. Educate yourself as to the more recent trends and the market in Hollywood.
Like an INSIDER!

You're welcome:)
