Business, Educational & Technical

As I understand it, when one wants to break into the Business, Educational & Technical Video market, you often need to start in businesses' in-house video production groups. However, there are a few freelance companies out there, so if you've paid your dues, here's where they can start paying you back.

I don't think these places necessarily take scripts, but probably hire writers on a more 9-5 basis. If anybody knows any different, please let me know.

• A/V Concepts Corp.
  For use in schools.
• Sam Blate Associates
  Business, advertising, and technical.
• JIST Publishing
  All sorts of stuff.

 

"The theater needs continual reminders that there is nothing more debasing than the work of those who do well what is not worth doing at all"

--Gore Vidal

Plays

• The Colony Theatre
  There aren't that many theatres that take electronic submissions.
• Dramatic Publishing
  I'm not sure if they take e-mail queries or not, but you can give it a shot. This link also shows up in Script Agents, for lack of any idea on my part of where to place them.
• The East Village Experimental Theatre Co.
  Man, is their website annoying to look at. But I think they might take submissions.
• Encore Performance Publishing
  They certainly do take email submissions. So email them.
• InterAct Theatre Co.
  Email them a play and just see what happens!
• New Repertory Theatre
  Not sure if they take e-submissions, but it may be worth a try.
• Pioneer Drama Service, Inc.
  You can e-mail them a query at your leisure.
• Playscripts, Inc.
  Electronic submissions strongly preferred! That's what I like to hear!
• Purple Rose Theatre Co.
  They've got an email address and everything.
• Stage Left Theatre
  More of the same. They make plays.
• Theatre IV
  Do they mean "4" or "intravenous"? Only their mothers know...
• TheatreWorks
  They like well-written, well-constructed plays. How novel. If only there were playwrights out there who were trying to do that!
• The Wilma Theater
  There sure are a lot of .org theater companies out there. I guess that allows them to beg for money. Which all of them seem to be doing.

 

"No one in this world, so far as I know... has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people."

Screenwriting: Movies and Television

• Allied Artists, Inc.
  Ding, dong, right on the front page! I love these people.
• CPC Entertainment
  I think I sent them a script or two. They never wrote back. Fuckers.
• Fast Carrier Pictures, Inc.
  Ditto for them.
• Stephan Gray
  All-purpose hustler.
• IFM Film Associates, Inc.
  Do not expect an answer if they don't want to pursue it. In my experience, this is the norm when submitting electronically.
• The Kaufman Co.
  Killer intro and all, but let's get to the submissions section!
• Mediacom Development Corp.
  I don't speak a lick of French, so I don't know if you can e-submit to these guys or not.
• new hollywood order
  Inspired by professional wrestling. Whatever it takes, man.
• pop-art-film-factory
  We are into the uncapitalized portion of the show.
• Randwell Productions, Inc.
  It says to use the email address listed. Of course, it says it in teeny-tiny letters on the bottom of the page.
