Great info in the video. I’m drafting my letters up this week and will be submitting them shortly. Do you specialize in producing any particular content?
Where? At the secret weekly Hollywood producer’s meetings? If you can’t convince them to open an email then your in-person pitch will probably be even worse.
@@therealfrankwhite It isn't about convincing them to open it. They simply will not open emails from strangers. If you try to contact them on twitter you will discover their accounts are locked. You may have had a chance 15 or more years ago when spec scripts were in demand, but these days they aren't. When established producers want new material they call managers and agents. At American Film Market you can network with producers. Have a script or two that are tight, maybe a teaser trailer, business cards.
@@DAMON409I’ve been to AFM four times for meetings I got through querying and a majority of filmmakers can’t even get past the lobby which producers and distributors avoid like the plague. And querying producers is not the same as querying for representation which most screenwriters are doing. If a producer won’t even open your email to watch a trailer why would they watch it in person from you walking up to them cold? And how are you targeting in person face to face producer meetings that are right for your project?? They don’t even care about your ideas or your script unless you either have some of the work done like financing, a star or popular actor attached, or if they want you to write THEIR idea.
Thank you for this simplistic version of what should go in a query!!! Very useful knowledge! 💡
You're welcome glad it helped!
Was waiting on you to upload again💯
Haha thanks…had a long moving process during the past six months but now I’m back!

Submitting where?? Nobody will read random emails from strangers.
Thanks for the info, Jay!
You're welcome!
Nobody reads emails
Do you think they communicate through telepathy?
@@therealfrankwhite you're living in dream world
@@gianthills all I did was ask you a ridiculous question to your ridiculous comment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They are useless. You have to meet producers personally
