Ideas aren't worth buying. They are a dime a dozen. Even the most dim-witted studo exec has a half-dozen good ideas a week, they simply do not know how to execute them.

What is of value is a well told tale.

Write your story and populate it with well-rounded characters and you might have something, but five or ten years of solid daily writing is essential before showing your material to anyone in show business.

DO NOT go to film school. You can learn everything about screenwriting from a few books and from reading screenplays online. Save the cash and pour the money into makiong your own films - you'll have something more valuable than a degree, you'll have a calling card.

Best of luck, but remember that hard work and tenacity trump creativity every time.
