Q: I've written a feature animation script. I've contacted
some animation studios first but they considered it an unsolicited submission.
I've also contacted literary agencies, but most agencies represent only action,
fiction, sci-fi, horror, and not animation. It seems that it’s very difficult
to submit my animated script to the studios, especially that these kind of
scripts are generated in-house. May ask you to mention to me, to your
knowledge, some agencies that still accept submission queries from animation
writers? Or a production company that deals with animation studios?
A: Finding an agent is the best way to go. Many literary agencies have
at least one agent who handles animation. Try contacting as many as you
can and asking if they have such a person on staff and go from there. If
they don't have one, ask if they wouldn't mind pointing you in the
direction of an agency that does. They'll likely say no, but you never know. You can also try contacting TAG (The
Animation Guild) and the
Writer's Guild of America's "Animation Caucus" and asking them your
perfectly reasonable question.
Two agencies I can think of that are
exclusive to animation are Gotham and Natural Talent. I'm sure there are more. You can Google their
contact information.
Good luck to you!
