Banging against Hollywood’s door

I am a complete outsider, at least with respect to Hollywood. This is a huge problem since I enjoy writing screenplays. Now there is a ton of advice about getting in, but that is problematic at best since a lot of it is either contrary or I am unable to pursue that course of action. Now this could be a call to give up, to just fold up my tent and try something else, but I don’t want to do that. I was allowing Becky to read Walking the Infinite for the about fortieth time and something amazing happened. She laughed a lot more. This story isn’t a comedy, but I wanted to inject humor into it to give the characters depth and it seems to have worked. So now I ask myself this as I finish my rewrite; how do I approach that beast that is Hollywood to see if they will even take a sniff at it. I’m going to place it in the appropriate festivals, but that’s just a surrogate, something to try to get external validation that my writing is sufficient. I don’t have any answers yet, but that’s what I am thinking as I get done with this rewrite, more confident that this script might be finally ready to move along.
