Writing movie scripts is a hard gig, it took 3 years from the time when I put out a call for scripts to having a completed script, and even at that point the project is only halfway done, I still need to make the movie, and then distribute it, etc.
Or sell it and let someone else make it, like the guy did when he let Spielberg make "Amistad," he sold his script to Spielberg and he used the money to open 5 McDonald's restaurants in South Africa and he hired his family members to work at this restaurants. So, that is what a good script is worth, 5 McDonald's restaurants in South Africa. I would be happy with a nice night club in Rome, Italy, and maybe invest in a winery.
We will see what happens. The film and television industry is coming back to Hollywood now that Newsom is lowering taxes for producers, so that is cool.
Then I will publish my poetry book as well, I might become huge like Maya Angelou, Maya was so poor that she was a prostitute when she was young, and Maya rose to the top and became friends with President Obama and the Elite in the world, she became wealthy and world famous and she had a great life, all from poetry.
My movie might be huge like "Pulp Fiction" and my poetry book might be huge like Maya Angelou, but I just need to keep going in order to find out. If I give up now and quit then I will never know, and I will never be rewarded by my hard work if I quit now. I have to get my movie made and my book published if I ever want to be rewarded for the hard work that went into creating my script and my poetry book.
Salute,
Tony V.
