has anyone any info, or experience, on writing films for a non-Western market? i've got a story that i want to write up, set in Japan, which i think would be pretty good as a Japanese actioner rather than an American film filmed in Tokyo, if you get what i mean. most of the main characters would be Japanese, eg. i have no idea what to do with this tho. as in : i would have to write it in English, but would that be a problem when i try and sub it to companies. and that leads into : has anyone tried to sub to foreign places/agents/companies?
and this is linked to my other query, because the plot i'm working on is designed to be a two-parter, ending on a cliffhanger in part 1. there's something niggling in the back of my mind tho that it was said that spec scripts for multi-episodes is not a good move as people don't want to invest in an unproven writer for a part 1 that might end up bombing, etc.. is this about right, or should i just go for it?
