  • Querying through Facebook

    Anybody have any luck querying prodcos via Facebook?

    I cross-referenced one prodco's staff listing against Facebook - approx 80% of its employees were on it.

    Background: this prodco doesn't have a functioning website. And I haven't had luck finding their employee emails (or email structures). This is a major producer on a studio lot.

    Thx

    I would NEVER do that. I don't care if other people have success either. I think it's totally inappropriate to cold query on FB.

    Use it as networking tool. Establish and maintain relationships. But NEVER use it to cold sell someone on anything.

    Besides, if you cultivate a solid network, you won't need to cold query anyhow.

    My 2 cents.

      If I couldn't find their email address anywhere else, I'd do it as a last resort. What's the worst that can happen? They ignore you, or say no. At the end of the day you still don't have a relationship with someone you didn't have a relationship with before.

        I heard replying to a Tweet on twitter with your logline is the best way to query in 2010.

              More detail would be interesting.

              Would you have a link?

                      I got read at management 360 by querying a facebook connection. But tread lightly!

                        SJN,

                        If they are on a studio lot then you might be looking in the wrong place for their email structure. They probably don't have their own email structure but use that of the studio.

                        For example, someone at Jerry Weintraub Productions would be [email protected].

                          I have given up on Variety for quite a while.

                          Still, a working link would be interesting.

                            You've been Rickrolled!

                            If somebody in the biz did say the best way to query was via Twitter, don't you think we'd have 178,000 threads asking for help cutting a logline down to 140 characters?
