Thriller genre. How do I find an agen

Question:

I Have written a Screenplay of the Mystery/Thriller genre. How do I find an agent to help submit my work?

I started writing it in July and I should be ready to send it out for copyright in about two weeks. I am really searching hard for an agent to help me submit it to either Lions Gate Films or WWE Films. I live in the Houston, Texas area and am looking for someone close who is legit. Where do I begin my greuling search?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: MAGNOLIA ENTERTAINMENT OR 2929 PICTURES WOULD be your Texas choice sense both studios are owned by TODD Wagner AND MARK CUBAN BOTH TEXAS MILLIONAIRES...and owner of the Dallas mavericks///I WOULD recommend that you get your script protected by an attorney first before you start to pedal it around to any studio...big company's are know for script scamming where there briefly read through it and pic out the best subject matter and use it for there use...nothing goes to you.....you loose...TRY hitting up a small network or television agency first ....cable or independent company's are the best....
