One way to never get a call back

While sipping my coffee this morning and going through my daily news and blog sources online I came across this headline:

Script left at Beverly Hills talent agency blown up by police

I am not joking.  A bright young man in Beverly Hills decided to bring a locked briefcase with his script inside to a talent agency and leave it there with the hopes that someone would read it.  The talent agency’s security called the police thinking that it was a bomb, thus resulting in this man’s blown up script.

Read the full article on this story from the LA Times here.

Now I have heard creative ways of trying to get your script in the door, but seriously?  Did this guy actually think that this was the best way to get people to read his script?

To all of your aspiring screenwriters out there..this is NOT the way to get your script read!
