Film Courage: Is it easy for a great script to go nowhere?
Carole Kirschner, Entertainment Career Coach, Speaker & Author: A great script, a truly great script, if you have any connection to anybody in the entertainment industry who can look at that and know it’s a great script, it’s going to go someplace.
