One "Lottery System" I almost tried: I almost submitted my feature-length screenplay to competitions in the hopes of winning an award and potentially gaining representation.
What it cost me: Minimal time and no money (thankfully). I spent a bit of time researching screenplay competitions, but ended up not submitting because I figured that my screenplay needed at least one or two additional rewrites.
My biggest takeaway from this video: BE LIKE BRIT and build your own kingdom.
