SELLING YOUR SCREENPLAY: Producer & Screenwriter Alan Trezza on ‘Burying The Ex’
Ashley Scott Meyers talks with writer/producer Alan Trezza, who wrote and produced ‘Burying The Ex,’ on his journey from script to screen.
In this episode of the podcast I talk with writer/producer Alan Trezza, who wrote and produced Burying The Ex. He was able to get the screenplay out to Hollywood, but no buyers came forward, so he realized he was going to have to produce this film himself if he wanted to see it on screen. We talk about the details of how he got the film off the ground.
