This is very flattering
I must say, I'm flattered a message thread was started about me.
I am 'the' Ryan Patrick Colucci.
Yes, Patrick is my middle name.
Yes, I wrote a Simpson's Script that won a few contests - I was also 19 years old.
Yes, I play lacrosse. Anaheim Storm practice roster. Hollywood Lacrosse Club (
www.hollywoodlax.com) among others...
Yes, I used to work in development at Disney. I have not only good friends and close associates, but industry mentors, at Sony, Lion's Gate/Artisan, Original Film, Intermedia, Fox, Underground Films, Sommers Company, among many other production companies.
Yes, I graduated from USC's Peter Stark Producing Program on Friday May 14th, 2004.
You can call and ask about me. 213-740-3304.
Yes, I am everywhere. Besides Hollywood Lit Sales and The Source, I have read the top students at NYU, FSU, USC, UCLA, and other schools looking for material. I do not, however, send emails to everyone. Just the loglines that catch my interest. Between that and all the other things I have going it takes about 4-6 weeks to get back to a writer. And out of the over 300 scripts I've read since the fall, I've optioned only 3.
That is a release given to me by the VP of Business Affairs for Universal Studios. I use it to cover my own ass. I"m not stealing anyone's ideas. If I like your script, I'll talk to you further about optioning it. If you don't like what I have to say, I can deal with it and move on. If the release form is a point of contention for you than you're most likely not just an amateur but a hack and I'm glad I didn't have to waste my time reading your script - most likely in the wrong format with the copyright and WGA #'s printed in bold on the front and a complete bio of all your works attached.
In either case, since my company has ties to the packaging department of a large agency, as well as formal submissions from agencies, I am no longer taking unsolicited submissions.
