I've always felt mysteries were always the best, twist endings and plot changes, like The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, Memento, etc. That's story telling. Read some James Patterson novels to get an idea. A movie that keeps you guessing throughout is always my favorite.

I don't know if a thread has been posted like this yet, I'm new to this site, but I'm seeking representation from an agent or manager. I've sent in query letters, pitches and screenplays to multiple agencies, production companies , you name it. I even have a friend who works in the business and...

Me again. The scene calls for the character to leave then come back within minutes. It looks like this: The tape goes silent, fear fills the room. Eric darts for the door, grabbing Chris's keys. From here, do I say: A few minutes later, Eric returns, with a package... OR: The tape goes...

Anybody out there heard of the website Screenplay2sell? It's only $25 for lifetime membership. Opinions? Do it? Don't do it? I saw the link on Screenwriter's Utopia. If it's there, it must be legit.
