Most of our projects at Black Sheep Entertainment are generated internally. On rare occasions, when we are presented with an exceptional project, we may choose to partner with a screenwriter and assist in the further development of their screenplay and/or attach talent, obtain production financing and produce the film. In general, we are not able to consider uncompleted scripts or scripts with an unknown director or non-recognizable talent attached to any of the lead roles.

The following are our submission guidelines:

1. Before submitting a screenplay, we ask that you forward a one page synopsis of your story including a logline (one sentence description) and a page count.

2. After reviewing your synopsis, we will contact you if we wish you to submit the full screenplay.

3. Please understand that due to the volume of submissions we receive, it may take us a while to review any material submitted to us and we cannot offer feedback or notes on your submission or screenplay.

4. Any screenplay eventually submitted to us must be in industry accepted screenplay format.

5. All screenplays submitted must be accompanied by a signed copy of our release form which will be forwarded to you if we request a full screenplay.

6. You agree that your submission of your Project is voluntary, not solicited by us, and not in confidence.

7. You understand that there is no agreement between us, express or implied, relating to our use or failure to use the Project.

8. You agree not to assert against us, our affiliates, subsidiaries, licensees, assigns, officers, agents or employees any claim based an plagiarism, infringement, confidential relationship, implied contract, unfair competition or otherwise arising out of any alleged use by us of the Project.

Please also consider these additional suggestions:

1. For your protection, we recommend that you register and/or copyright your work. Information on this process may be found at www.wga.org and www.loc.gov/copyright/

2. Your work has a better chance of being well received if it is free of errors including spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

3. Works that are too long or too short have a much more difficult time finding a home. Try to keep your screenplay to between 90 and 120 pages if possible.

4. Be selective in your submissions. Put your best foot forward and only submit those projects that are truly ready to be seen by entertainment industry professionals.

5. There are many reasons a synopsis or screenplay may be rejected. Often it has nothing to do with the quality of the work. Please do not take rejection personally. Just because a project is not right for us does not mean it is not right for someone else. Keep trying.
