Cold Querying Through Email
It works. You may receive dozens upon dozens of rejections (or utter silence) before you get one single positive response, but that’s all it sometimes takes.
The key thing is knowing how to do it properly:
- Use IMDbPro to get email addresses for companies, managers, development executives, etc.
- Don’t approach agents because most of the name agencies have strict policies against accepting unsolicited queries, no matter how great your script may be. Also, most agents don’t come into play until there’s a deal to be made.
- Pitch one script, not your whole stack of scripts.
- Get to the point with a great logline.
- Don’t tell them how great and important your script is for them—let them decide that.
- Don’t go on and on about your love for film/TV and your personal story—there’s not enough time and everyone has love for film/TV and their own “worthy” personal stories.
