Hollywood could care less about where you come from. They just want a great script. However, it may be easier to sell a script if you live in Hollywood, because you can try to pitch the idea directly to studios. You’ll probably need an agent. Here’s a list of books about writing and selling scripts: http://www.seeing-stars.com/ShowBiz/Career/Screenplay.shtml

At the very bottom of that page is a link to a competition/contest for beginners run by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences ( http://www3.oscars.org/nicholl/index.html ). Each year, they run a new contest. You can submit your script there, and if you win they pay a prize of about $ 30,000. And yes, they are legitimate. It’s the same Academy which gives out the Oscars.

Good luck.
