Film idea proposal

[Eläköön]

well im a film student at college and i had the most amazing idea for a sci-fi horror film that would make everyone cringe and fearfull, i cant tell you ofcourse cause someone will steal it, however im no scriptwriter

i was wondering how you would go about proposing an idea to a publisher or script writing company/production to sell your idea, does anyone know how i would do this? just a cool thought is al =P

Your first step would be to register the script with the Writers Guild so it's yours legally. Then get an agent to shop it around for you, because unless you live in LA and know enough people to get past security, you can't really do it yourself. Also be sure to research script format, if you get that wrong it wont matter how good your story is b/c no one will read it.
