Best answer:

Answer by Rich
Narma,

1) You can describe costumes briefly if it’s important to the character or the scene.
2) Yes, you can legally move to the US! But I would caution you to wait until you’re older and can work to support yourself. LA and NY are expensive cities.
3) To sell your script, first it has to be PERFECT. Never stop revising. Then you need to get an agent, which is extremely hard. Usually you’ll need to know someone in the business, or win a competition.
4) I’m not sure on this one, but Diablo Cody, last year’s winner, was in her late 20’s I believe.

Good luck.
