When you use our
e-mail query service, the e-mail goes out under your own name and e-mail
address, using a strong subject line to attract interest. For example, a
screenplay query might be set up
something like this:
To:
June Williams, Director of Development
mailto:jwilliams@abproductions.com
From: Dan
Jones danjones@yahoo.com
Subject: A High-Concept Drama About a Man's Search
for His Lost Clone
All you
need do is provide us with subject line and content of the e-mail.
Write it yourself, use our guidelines, or we can write a
strong pitch for you. The key is to keep it short and to the point.
Start with a short log-line (about 60 words), then add a brief synopsis and
a brief bio, highlighting what is most relevant and promotable about
yourself. Then, we'll do a final review and polish, including
suggesting a subject line if you don't have one, which is included in the
service -- though if you need a more extensive rewrite, we'll tell you that.
Once you sign up for our service, you get a link to a sample template you
can use as a guide to create your own query letter. It's a tested
guide that has gotten a good response for us and our clients in the past
from numerous producers and agents.
Once your query is ready,
we’ll
e-mail it
to the
producers/production companies or agents/managers or both looking for your type of screenplay. You'll also
get a report listing the companies and the contacts for each company sent
your
query.
