PIPE DREAMS ENTERPRISES

Pipe Dreams Enterprises, Inc. is a blossoming production company and independent record label based out Los Angeles, CA.  Committed to the furthering and support of the arts in the United States and  we strive to present the public with a refreshing and entirely new perspective on music, art, and media. Every project that is born from our company comes from a place of pure creativity and artistic expression.   We also constantly strive to create art that is unique and different.  We always hope to break new barriers with what we do.  What about marketing?  We here at Pipe Dreams Enterprises understand that marketing is important.  People won’t buy a product if they don’t feel they need it.  That being said, it is apparent that the market has become flooded with a wash of uninteresting and uninspired art, music, television, film, and media.  The focus has leaned so much to the side of business, that many of the front runners in entertainment are selling products that have lost all creativity and inspiration.  It is no longer art, merely a product on the shelf.  We are finding that people still respond to well done art.  If it is artistic, beautiful, and well put together, the public responds to it.  If it strikes a chord with someone, they want to have it, listen to it, purchase it, share it with their friends.  The public is not concerned with whether or not something fits into a category.  They are not concerned with how to classify it.  They aren’t concerned with the demographic it appeals to.  They either like it or they don’t.  And while those factors shouldn’t be ignored by the producing party, they should not overrule the overall quality of the art being produced.   If it doesn’t resonate in the soul, it will be forgotten. This is our mantra here at Pipe Dreams Enterprises………produce quality art that is inspired, creative, and most importantly………unique and different.  We stand out in a crowd.

How to Write and Sell A Screenplay

Part 1: So you want to write a screenplay?

By Ed. Gillow

Say you have wanted to write a screenplay but are not sure how to get started. Or, you have written a screenplay but do not know how to market it. This seven-part series is designed to address these questions and more.

The good news is that Hollywood needs good screenplays. This was one of the most uplifting ideas I heard when attending Robert McKee’s Story Seminar recently. McKee travels the world to help new and veteran screenwriters to create screenplays that sell. Make no mistake, you have competition. Yet if you are willing to put in the effort you can separate yourself from the rest of the crowd. 

One of the first things you should ask yourself is, why do I want to write a screenplay? Is it to make money? To have fun? To see if you can do it? It is very important that you know what is driving you to do this. That answer will be the drive that keeps you going in this endeavor. Next, you have to ask yourself, do I have a good story? Mr. McKee was very clear in his workshop that every successful screenplay is based on a good story.  

Whether you have one good story idea or many, I plan to share ideas to help you make money writing screenplays . The next installment ,  Part 2, will offer five critical steps to getting started.

As a preview of what is to come, Part 3 will address the elements of a good screenplay and the tools available to screenwriters. Part 4 will address what you can do in the writing process to help ensure success. Part 5 will briefly review the painful but all-important rewrite process,  Part 6 will address what you can do to protect your hard work. Since many screenplays are posted online for producers and others to read, these tips will help you to make sure that your screenplay yours and yours alone - until it is sold. Finally, Part 7 will address to sell your screenplay.

I hope you found some value in Part 1. Stay tuned for Part 2.

Take care and follow your dreams…….  Ed.
