First post. I've been reading these threads for a the past year as a fly on the wall, and would like to say how much I appreciate all those who post their wisdom and experience on here. It's been incredibly educational and helpful. Thank you.
Here's my situation, and apologies if this has been covered before. My search didn't bring up any hits for a scenario like this.
A very kind manager at a well-known company read two of my scripts and liked my writing, but not enough to want to rep me. His emails to me were very respectful, and I so appreciate all the time and thoughts he gave me. In fact, the way he acted toward me made me think more highly of the company, which I'll remember.
But he's just one of the managers at the company; there are others whom I could query with the loglines for these two scripts. My question is, "Should I?-
(FYI - Both scripts placed in this year's Nicholl, and one placed at Austin, so I'm motivated to strike while the iron's somewhat hot.)
In general, if a manager passes on a script, is he speaking only for himself or is he speaking on behalf of his company? But... subjectivity: one manager's impression of a script might not match another's, and I wouldn't want to lose what very few opportunities I have to query the other managers.
Perhaps I should I wait a couple months to query a different manager at that company with my two current loglines. Or perhaps it's best to query that company only when I have a new script.
Thanks very much for your opinions!
