While it is extremely difficult to break into anything like screenwriting, remember that it's a sellers market. Great material is the key to get in. Contacts help. Nepotism really helps, but if you write an awesome script, you will have no problem getting in. Seriously, 99% of scripts are awful. Of course I pulled that number out of my butt but it's true. The vast majority of screenplays are garbage. Most are doomed from the start with boring ideas and even worse execution. Write a great script, enter it into some contests and you'll be on your way.
