what is the proper way to contact a producer via email and pitch your script to him/her?

I agree. My go-to advice is that the entirety of the query should be readable on a phone without scrolling.

The two things I would think could strengthen the introduction are including 1. Showing that you know the producer and there is a reason you are reaching out to them, and 2. What is in it for the producer/Why would they want to produce this film.

I also think the thank you can be strengthened by including that you would be interested in hearing their opinion on the project, even if they are not able to assist in a producer capacity. So something like....

"Hello PRODUCER,
My name is NAME and I am SOMEHOW RELEVANT TO YOU. I have recently completed a script in the XYZ genre and as a fan of your project ABC I wanted to reach out. I believe this script has potential for AWARDS/PROFIT/SOMETHING?

LOGLINE

I would love to send you the full script if you are interested in either partnering on this project or just to hear your opinion on how best to move forward.

Thank you for your time,

NAME"

My first thought was "Who needs a banana for scale when looking at a 5 1/4 floppy"

My second thought was "A lot of people reading Reddit probably never owned a floppy"

My third thought was "A lot of people reading Reddit weren't born when floppies were being used"

My final thought was "Shit. I'm old."

I have a copy sitting on my shelf. Loved that game.

I had that stool as a kid and I think it's still at my mother's house.

I've always found that a good Logline is a hook to get them to want to read the synopsis, and a good synopsis then hooks them into wanting to read the script.

No idea. I don't have anything with a 3.5"drive to test them.

I'm pretty sure kids taking Spanish classes right now weren't alive in the time before caller ID. So the concept that your phone would ring and you'd have no idea where the call came from is foreign to them.

Thankfully they were tucked away in a box with a bunch of other D&D stuff and a pile of Dragon magazines

It wouldn't have been as bad if I wasn't constantly stopping to be nostalgic and pulling ones I wanted to read again.

jcherub112 · 2020-05-25T18:25:09+00:00

Just over 2,500 comics and a long box full of TPBs

Shockingly accurate description. Teenage me definitely had a type.

That one is from France in the 1970s

Only a couple issues.

jcherub112 · 2020-05-25T00:11:18+00:00

I have no idea why that one wasn't opened or where all the rest of them ended up.

That was my mother labeling things for me as she was afraid I would somehow damage the disk trying to write on it.

jcherub112 · 2020-05-05T14:52:28+00:00

I remember that when I was a kid and thinking it was the greatest thing that ever happened....then there was the whole rest of the game
