A:The "where" is probably less important than "who the agent knows" and "who the agent already represents". The point of having an agent is to facilitate your script getting to the decision makers. Just because an agent has a Los Angeles address doesn't necessarily mean that the agent is better connected than an agent in Seattle. Not all agents have the same network. Your access to a local agent may be better, but if it is at the expense of your agent's access to potential buyers, you need to ask yourself what's more important. When you have potentially interested agents, find out as much as you can about them, and ask questions about what sales they've made recently, and to whom it was sold.
A:Scene numbers are used in pre-production to break-down the script by scenes for scheduling purposes. If you are sending out your script for the first time, odds are that the script will go through a couple of rewrites, anyway, and scene numbers can be added later.
Q:Most of the copies of the screenplays I read have scene numbers down the left and right margins. I don't have software that does this for me and it is time consuming to renumber my scenes each time I make edit. Will my script be dismissed as being improperly formatted if I omit scene numbers?
