My autie stepson has a new obsession: screenwriting. While the scripts are mostly a random stream of consciousness, I'm thrilled that he's doing something creative. The problem: he keeps asking when I'll mail the scripts to Sony Pictures. I've said it before, will say it again: parenting is hard.
I'm not really sure, at some point he got it in his head that Sony was the way forward. We've even offered to take him to a smaller studio (which offers tours) in Seattle, but he didn't seem all that interested. Sony or bust, I guess.
Go ahead and mail it. If he gets a form letter back, so what. So do thousands of aspiring writers. You can honestly tell him that it’s a tough business to succeed in, and very competitive.
