There are industry standards. Producers, agents, and managers expect you to have a working knowledge of the business. You must demonstrate that you have a full grasp of the requirements and can perform in a timely manner.
A screenplay (script) is your calling card. It is a sample of your best work. It shows studios, producers and agents that you are a serious writer and not a hobbyist. The script should be written with screenwriting software such as Final Draft, Movie Magic, or Celtx. It should be between 90 -120 pages. If you write a screenplay longer than 120 pages you will be perceived as an amateur.
