MAGNUM
OPUS THEATRE

by Vanessa Claire Perkins

Every
week, hundreds of untrained writers from around the world
send their unsolicited, unregistered scripts to Hollywood
production
companies in the hopes that their story will rise above the
rest to be
made into a feature film. Most never even get read... until
now.
