Best bet would be to contact that site admin, Horror, who may or may not get return your message. Or go to film school.

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.

Get all the info you can about properly packaging your ideas. Presentation counts to a large degree. The library or local bookstore is bound to have books about writing screen plays and getting them in front of producers/studios who have the power to greenlight projects. You might be able to find some info on the internet as well. Most importantly, don't give up. No dream has ever been realized without putting in the hard work necessary to make it happen. Good luck. Keep your creativity flowing no matter what happens.
