Chris Moore

[Kelsey]

So...I want to talk to Chris Moore:D .

/me pauses to wait for laughter:lol .

Whether it is on the phone with him, his right hand man, or the person who wipes his arse, I've gotta get on the phone with Chris Moore.

Does anyone have names, numbers, etc? I have one number, but I am looking for a better one. Thanks in advance.

K~

Kelsey,

I may be able to put you in touch with some of his close "people." But if you'd be so kind, PM and fill me in on what this is about.

Thanks....

[Kelsey]

Why of course, MacG. I appreciate you responding.

[MacG]

You Got Mail, K....

A common post or question on this website is;

"How do I get in contact with ____?"

I'd highly suggest the webmasters/Scriptsales.com gurus post a formal notice about this issue.

Most major Hollywood stars/actors/film business execs/producers/prodcos/etc DO NOT deal with screenwriters/talent without agents, managers, lawyers, etc. This is for legal/creative reasons. Even then, many celebs/stars get into lawsuits or legal hassles because of these legal issues.

Some places do takes scripts/loglines/etc from talent directly but it's best to use your head...
1) Protect your film/TV scripts with WGA.org or LOC.gov
2) If you can get a good agent/manager/etc.
3) Avoid contacting people or prodcos/studios unless they request it or if you know someone who works there.

See www.marklitak.com www.whorepresents.com www.absolutewrite.com www.imdb.com www.hcdonline.com www.screenwritersmarket.com for more details.

And I'm Out...

:hat

Dude, you ALWAYS post the same friggin' thing whenever someone asks about contact information for an actor / producer / director, etc.

While you're right that 9 time out of 10, they won't look at unsolicited material or material submitted without rep, there have been success stories -- some on this very board -- that have proved otherwise...and to justify people's continuing to ask.

If you find it so annoying that you want the Mods to serve formal notice that THESE ARE THE ALMIGHTY RULES OF HOLLYWOOD THAT MUST BE OBEYED, SO QUIT ASKING FOR CONTACT INFORMATION, might I suggest you refrain from clicking on threads you know will contain such questions?

And not that it's any of your business (and I hope I'm not breaking her trust by saying this...), but Kelsey's query had nothing to do with getting any of her material to Chris Moore.

Very well put, MacG!

[Kelsey]

Thankyou MacG. And I don't mind you saying it doesn't have anything to do with a script. Because it doesn't.

Well done.

kelsey,

why have you chosen the picture of a pretty actress?

what, you are a fan...what?


p.s. congrats on your marketing skills.

p.p.s. are you trying to intern with chris? that shouldn't be a problem. he's a good guy.

[Kelsey]

I think I should change my avatar. Sure, I'm a fan. She's a good actress, and seems like a cool person.

I hear Chris Moore is a good guy, glad to hear it from another person.

if you were a highly successful producer/screenwriter/prodco exec/actor would you want unknown people contacting you 24/7/365 with scripts/ideas/pitch meetings/etc.

I'd think NOT! :b

To tell new screenwriters they can call or email or show up at a studio office or star's house or producer's day spa is not a good way of doing business. The websites and details I post give new writers/film production folks a great way to network and understand the entertainment industry. If people want to act like crazy idiots or start stalking celebs to get movie deals then go right ahead...

Like I always say; "When you fall out of your wheelchair, don't come running to me!"

:lol

there is nothing unprofessional about sending a brief unsolicited email query to a production company.

at least not to the half dozen who've requested reads of my script over the past two weeks.

[Kelsey]

Even if this were about a script I wouldn't agree with you, Beefmisile. And also, you exaggerate. Get off the beaten path, says I, away from the herd. I'm currently pursuing an *amazing* opportunity with an actor because I had the guts to try something original and unique.

Whatever though, you stick to your ways, I'll stick to mine. Mine have worked so far, and I've made incredibly valuable contacts being a high school student and living 300 miles away.

Thanks for the concern though.

[cesahr]

That's the spirit...buck the system, try something new (just don't get arrested or worse yet, black listed...do they do that?). The hubris of the young...I wish I knew what I wanted when I was in high school, so Kelsy, keep trying and bust thru those doors!!!!

Go get 'em!!

[BeefMissile]

and when you become a major Hollywood player are you going to take every phone call or reply to every email for every actor/screenwriter/producer/etc that wants to work with you?

:p

That's what assistants are for, genius....

[Kelsey]

Of course not. But I would at least talk to and hear out those driven, dedicated, and persistant ones who have a little something that I can admire or relate to.

Avoid contacting people or prodcos/studios unless they request it or if you know someone who works there.

Huh? How are you going to know whether they will request the script if you don't contact them in the first place?

In my experience the most useful contacts that I've ever had are the ones garnered from cold calling (prod. co's/studios/agents/managers). I've seen a lot of people putting their hopes into their one 'contact' at a prod. co./studio/agency and then when it came to the crunch that 'Hollywood contact' didn't deliver and they're back to square one having bet everything on one horse. It happens a lot.

You do have valid points re. contacting stars though. I would be curious to find out how many of the people who ask for actor's contact details on this site have actually managed to get their scripts read by said star/celeb. The manager/agent normally wants to deal with a known source with a track record. In my experience the project doesn't neccessarily have to be financed to get read (my script is out to a 'star' at the moment) but it should come with a producer/director attachment - something - that gives it credibility.

See you on Court TV!!!!

:lol

Huh?

[Kelsey]

BeefMissile,

Calling an actor's manager regarding a script won't result in being sued. The worst that can happen is they say "no." You'll never know what can happen unless you go out on a limb and take the risk. I don't know anything about you, but I'm curious to know how well sticking strictly to the proven path and following the unwritten rules of getting your foot in the door has worked for you.

And also, this thread has completely gone off topic. I don't even want to contact Chris Moore about a script, it's for a school project. Even if this was about a script, who cares if I call him? Who are you to tell me that it won't work anyways?
