Question
Hello,

I have a Fantasy Screenplay, do you have any idea where I could submit it for production (a director, producer etc.)?  

Answer
Alexandra,

Thanks for writing. The best resource guide to use is called the Hollywood Creative Directory. You can find them at hcdonline.com. The guide gives you the names and titles of every major and minor production company, studio and network working in film and TV today. It also gives you the titles of some of the films they have made and are in development on.

Using this information, and the credits you can pull up on each of these people by checking them out on the IMDB.com website, you can begin to get a good sense of what companies and what individuals might be interested in a fantasy screenplay.

Hope this helps.

Phil
