Why shop Hollywood...fuck 'em.Your further along looking for an independent or maybe George Romero himself(seems like a cool guy)maybe he'd produce it.....who knows.

Without efficient grammar and a recognised screenplay construction, there is no hope in hell - unless you film it yourself, of course.

In all honesty, this is probably your best bet...

Write your script.
Copywright & register your script.
Submit your script to as many screenwriting contests as you can.


WIthout an agent, screenwriting contests are gonna be your best bet at getting someone to notice your film.

Of course having half your script in capital letters won't help either. Just make sure you work on the technical aspects of your writing because while your grammar doesn't have to be perfect (nobody in real life speaks with perfect grammar) it does have to be decent. Have fun with it though, you are writing a zombie movie after all so you have even more leeway with your grammar. As far as getting it into Hollywood goes I'm sure you could move to California and get a job as a caddy at a ritzy golf course and then push your script to all the big names that golf there.

well me and my girlfriend were talking about it more and she estimates it to take about 3 years to write a script. She thinks it would be better for me to give my ideas away for money or get them copyrighted or something like that and then submit them to a pro writer, like celebs do when they want to write a autobiography and they have someone else write it for them.
